System to measure the bead size in the nip of a roll
stack
Advantageous applications for this technique:
Sheet and film lines which run expensive
resins
Lines with close loop control for
the lip or membrane adjustment of slit dies
Our WUMSY system helps you to increase the efficiency
of your film or sheet production process by:
reducing start up times of your lines · reducing change over times to produce different thickness'
=> reduce of scrap, increase of the capacity of the line
increase of the process reliability due to a bigger processing window · possibility of implementing alarm signals for minimum and maximum allowable bead size · possibility to protocol the optimized production (bead) situation for every product
=> increase of the capacity of the line
reduction of the thickness tolerances due to an improved knowledge of the correlation between the forces in the roll stack and the bending of the rolls · homogeneous cooling of the web across its entire width · correlation of surface defects to certain bead situations · correlation of the thermoforming behavior to certain bead situations · aid for defect analysis and for process optimization · aid to detect problems with the roll stack (for example running truth of the rolls)
=> increase of product quality
Wumsy is an initial condition to establish an automatic die control during the production of sheet or films which are running through a roll nip during the extrusion process. It:
automatically integrates an important part of the quality control into the production process · helps to produce a product quality at a high level which is independent from the qualification of the production personnel
WUMSY is our new key to improve you economics in sheet and film extrusion.
