Cast Film Line

The OCS Cast Film Line is used to perform optical and physical property measurements of polymers in the production of high-quality cast (flat) films (extrusion, cooling, stripping and winding). All settings and parameters, e.g. extruder speed, temperature, film tension, winding force, winder diameter, are stored by a touch panel control system which guarantees that the film quality can be reproduced at any time. This is an important parameter for optical and physical on-/offline measurements, for example in detecting gels, contaminations, degradations and other impurities as well as haze, gloss, density and additive measurement.

Possible testable polymers include, for example, PP, PET, PC,HDPE and LDPE.

Testable Raw Materials

• Pellets, powders and flakes

Module I + II (included)
