Invest in quality products by reducing scrap and showing your clients your true product worth.

Since 1986, SolveTech, Inc has specialized in creating the first gauges that test variability of thickness in polyester film lines. Today, SolveTech, Inc provides tools to measure the thickness of over 8 materials, including:

  • Blown film
  • Biax film
  • Cast film
  • Ceramics
  • Converting
  • Medical/Specialty films
  • Nonwoven
  • General/Other

blown extrusion in east coastOne of the most common areas of product manufacturing are the ones that perform blown extrusion in east coast manufacturing. Blown extrusion, also known as blown film extrusion, is a method of production that creates plastic films, especially for the packaging industry. It involves extruding a film of molten polymer through a die and initiating it many times in diameter to create an even measurement of a thin film bubble.

Two Reasons To Smile

SolveTech, Inc has created 2 specific systems to bring you the best results from their company so that you can bring your best results to your clients.

Reason #1. Our first product made specifically for blown extrusion in east coast areas is the BF2000 Blown Film Gauging System. This product automatically provides complete thickness information for process engineers, operators and quality personnel.

The BF2000:

  • Provides a detailed and easy-to-use software system.
  • Simple installation.
  • Measurement Head is non-invasive and non-nuclear, proven not to disturb bubble or mark the film.
  • The gauge control unit provides signal and power conditioning for the measurement head.
  • The head positioning system automatically positions the measurement head along the edge of the film, allowing for automatic re-standardization throughout the process.

This system is customizable with Feedback Control, Encoder and Analog Output.

Reason #2. The second product for our blown extrusion in east coast customers is the Precision ProfilerTM which provides high performance thickness measurement, offline. Guaranteeing the highest level of precision, accuracy and calibration hold.

The Precision ProfilerTM also reduces your scrap and gives you an advantage by showing where adjustments need to be made in your process, which saves you money in the long-run.

The Precision ProfilerTM  also:

  • Analyzes the profile for each roll produced
  • Prints thickness profile and quality control reports
  • Comes with easy-to-use software
  • Includes foot switch, film stabilizer and power cable
  • Comes with %PlusTM mode which provides an easy way to characterize your material with no calibration set-up requirement.
  • Includes SpotPlotTM mode which turns the Precision ProfilerTM into a non contact digital micrometer.
