FEATURED INSTALLATION
Rani Plast of Finland is adding blown film capabilities with a new Davis-Standard line equipped with a 2.3-meter seven-layer Centrex IBC die, the largest seven-layer blown film die Davis-Standard has built for any customer to date. The line is slated for installation in spring. The die and tower are capable of producing a bubble up to 22 meters unfolded at high output rates with a dual lip, automatic profile control air ring. Complementing the die design are seven Davis-Standard MAC extruders fitted with DSB screws and continuous screen changers to deliver a high quality melt at cool controlled temperatures, critical for maximizing output rate and film quality. "Davis-Standard's equipment has performed well for us, which is why we chose them for this blown film line," said Mikael Ahlback, managing director. "This line will support the production of high barrier and non-barrier film structures ranging in thickness from 30 to 200 microns. The die design uses concepts that will allow us to optimize the amount of high cost EVOH resin used in our barrier film formulation."
