Product catalog summary
Introduction
Manufacturers of petrochemical materials are concerned about the load security of their products, which must not leak. The challenge is to ensure perfect stacking and minimize disruptive edges on the film roof, which are contradictory requirements.

Solution
A newly developed film feed welding device addresses these issues. The device ensures a flat roof, which is crucial for secure stacking during transport and storage, preventing leaks and saving time.

Conclusion
  • Safer storage outside at all locations
  • Best possible protection against external elements
  • Perfect appearance for the customer’s product

Test Series
Tests were conducted using the HSA-Vario coordinate machine at the Möllers Group Academy and with the original film manufacturer. Key areas examined included:
  • Changes in weld strip construction
  • Optimized process flow
  • Adjustment of the stretch curve
  • Determining the optimal film for the customer

Key Findings
  • The transition area between 2-fold and 4-fold welding is a weak point.
  • Active cooling after welding enhances quality and tightness.
  • Optimal stretch parameters reduce edge formation.
  • The ideal film is identified for each product, balancing economy and security.

Additional Considerations
Block layering is common outside, posing risks during transport. Adjustments in machine settings for pressure, time, and temperature improve seal-seam strength. Wind during transport can damage protective film, leading to moisture ingress.

Critical Zones
Sealing resistance and temperature are critical for optimal sealing behavior, particularly with Metallocen-PE.

Case Study – Petrochemical Products stored outside-1

Case Study – Petrochemical Products stored outside Of 1000 stacked packs outside, no one shall leak. www.moellersgroup.com [email protected] Manufacturers of petrochemical materials are especially anxious regarding the load security of their products which tolerate no leakage. A new developed film feed welding device. Of 1000 stacked packs outside, no one shall leak. For perfect stacking, potentially disruptive edges on the film roof should be reduced to a minimum size. The roof tension is decisive for the formation of protruding film edges – the higher this tension the flatter the roof. Flat roofs however ensure secure stacking during transport and transfer in warehouses and outdoors – saving customers valuable time and prevents transport damage such as leaks. These two requirements are contradictory. Perfect tightness requires low stress on the weld-seam. A flat film roof and optimum appearance can be achieved by, among others, high weld-seam stress. Perfect load securing for outside-storage. Conclusion – safer storage outside at all locations – best possible protection for the product against external elements – perfect appearance for t

Case Study – Petrochemical Products stored outside-2

The tests were performed in a test series on the HSA-Vario coordinate machine of the Möllers Group Academy, at the customer’s premises and in collaboration with original film manufacturer. The machine settings were specifically examined, adjusted and optimized with regard to the three main influencing parameters pressure, time and temperature on the seal-seam strength. 2. Optimized process flow As part of the optimized process, quality is enhanced by active cooling immediately after the welding process - with simultaneous maximum welding tightness. Sealing behavior Metallocen-PE Critical zones for...
