After you manufacture blown film products in your workplace, where do they go? They may have a future as packing materials in either industrial or consumer settings. They may create a barrier around raw materials or foods, or they may even package medicine. No matter where your products end up, though, it is imperative that you offer high quality film with accurate and consistent thickness. Of course, even though blown film, or tubular film, extrusion is one of the most common methods of film manufacturing, it is still not without its challenges.
You need to be able to guarantee to the thickness of all of your film products, no matter its intended use. However, you often need to do this on the production line, in potentially harsh and dirty environments. These, combined with the many variables that affect film thickness during the blown process can make it difficult for operators to provide the consistent products that customers need. At SolveTech, we wanted to create a more reliable and accurate solution to these and other challenges. Below, you will find two of our most popular solutions for thickness gauging for blown film production.
