APPLICATION NOTE WEB SOLUTIONS ► Biax Film and Sheet ► Blown Film ► Cast Film ► Sheet and Foam ► Multi-layer Films ► Voided Films ► Microporous Films Successful extrusion operations demands running at the highest possible line efficiency. This means maximum process uptime, minimum raw material consumption, low rejects plus quality that meets today’s stringent requirements. It is vital to squeeze as much yield as possible out of today’s high cost resins and produce a flat, uniform, quality product that exceeds the performance expectations from the downstream processes. Meeting the extrusion...

APPLICATION NOTE WEB SOLUTIONSFOOD INDUSTRY Innovative Measurements for Infrared Film and Sheet Measurements FilmPro FilmPro™ is NDC’s most versatile infrared gauge on the market for basis weight and thickness measurements from the thinnest films to thin sheet. FilmPro is ideal for a wide range of products: clear, pigmented, multi-layer, voided / pearlized, tints and even black. FilmPro easily handles costly barrier materials, such as Nylon, EVOH or PVDC simultaneously with other polymers such as PE, PP or Ionomer. FilmPro has helped hundreds of customers reliably and accurately measure and...

APPLICATION NOTE WEB SOLUTIONS Haze Measurement HazePro Haze is a critical quality parameter for plastic films, various plastic sheet products and other transparent materials. Manufacturers need to make sure that their products have the correct level of haze they need from crystal to cloudy. Maintaining the proper level of haze can be a real challenge. NDC's NEW HazePro sensor solves this problem by measuring the haze of films on-line with the highest accuracy and reliability. With HazePro manufacturers can precisely adjust the film and sheet extrusion process to tightly maintain the...

APPLICATION NOTE WEB SOLUTIONS Machine Direction Control Machine direction (MD) controls compare the current scan average thickness against the target. The difference is used to supervise either the extruder or line speed (user-selectable) in order to drive the average thickness to the target. Automatic Target Optimization Control (ATO): Automatic Target Optimization supervises the average film or sheet thickness to run to the lowest acceptable specification. If the thickness variation is high, the average target will be increased to protect against making under-spec product at any point...
