Product catalog summary
Introduction
TSM Control Systems, in collaboration with Octagon, introduces the SmartLip ONE Air Ring, a cutting-edge advancement in blown film control technology. This product is designed to enhance film quality and production efficiency, catering to manufacturers seeking top-tier performance and sustainable solutions for cross-directional film profiles.

Key Specifications and Features
  • Design and Efficiency: The SmartLip ONE features a single air inlet and integrated insulation, leading to increased output, improved thickness tolerances, reduced condensation, and low-pressure consumption.
  • Mechanical Design: The air chamber and flow channels are engineered for superior control of bubble geometry and stability, based on extensive fluidic studies and practical tests.
  • Performance Benefits: The system offers a 10-20% increase in output, uniform cross-direction thickness profile, fast ROI, reduced condensation build-up, and enhanced mechanical properties.
  • Advanced Features: Options include dual lip or triple air flow configurations, heavy-duty aluminum construction, optional air ring lifting mechanism, multiple air ring chambers for various die sizes, and state-of-the-art control software.

Models and Specifications
  • Models are defined by die diameter, with options ranging from DL/TL 350 to DL/TL 900, accommodating different actuator configurations.
  • Actuators redistribute cooling air around the die circumference to correct profile inconsistencies, controlled by temperature-resistant stepper motors.

Air Ring-1

Solutions Through Partnership Benefits • Increased Output (10-20%) • Uniform Cross Direction Thickness profile • Fast Return on Investment (ROI) • Reduce Condensation build-up • Improved mechanical properties • Remote Diagnostics • Dual Lip or Triple Air Flow configuration • Heavy Duty High Quality Aluminium Consturction • Optional Air Ring Lifting Mechanism • Multiple Air Ring Chambers for different Die Sizes • State of the Art Control Software TSM Control Systems, in collaboration with Octagon, is proud to present the SmartLip ONE Air Ring, a significant leap forward in blown film control technology. Engineered to provide unparalleled film quality and production efficiency, SmartLip ONE is the choice for forward-thinking manufacturers aiming for the pinnacle of performance and sustainable solutions for the cross directional film profile. SmartLip ONE is an improved design based on very reliable and unique technology but now with the added benefit of just one air inlet and integrated insulation. It offers a significant increase in output, vastly improved thickness tolerances, less condensation and low-pressure consumption. The mechanical design of the air chamber and flow channels gives the air-ring a unique edge over competitive systems for better control of the bubble geometry and stability. The rigorous development of the air ring is based on substantial fluidic studies and thorough practical tests, along with significant input from customers.

Air Ring-2

Solutions Through Partnership High Performance Air Ring Defined by die diameter, the following models are available: MODEL Installation of stepper motors Function Description Actuators allow the cooling air to be redistributed around the die circumference as required, thereby correcting thin and thick spots on the profile. A control step takes place each time a complete profile has been measured. Control of the Actuators is via stepper motors which are resistant to temperature. A totally protected design prevents any contamination of mechanical elements. Maintenance of the drive assembly is therefore...
