BF200 Line Blown Film Gauging System

Description

The BF200 Blown Film Gauge retrofits easily to existing blown film lines, and it measures blown film with market leading precision. It consistently holds calibration to deliver an accurate measurement even on the thinnest films and is designed to be easy to use and durable in harsh and dirty environments.

Along with monitoring the shape of the bubble, and it has the unique ability among capacitance gauges to provide average thickness control.

The BF200 is a much more economical aternative to on-the-bubble gauging systems due to it’s lower capital and installation cost.

Application Content

Requirements for Successful Implementation

The technology can only measure non-conductive materials, and it cannot measure metals or foils.
The unit measures one spot along the edge, so the line has to have a rotating/oscillating die or an oscillating haul-off to generate a complete profile. The unit tracks the rotation and generates a profile as the film rotates through the gauge.

ON-TARGET BLOWN FILM

The blown film process has many variables that affect film thickness. This complexity puts a large burden on the operator as he tries to achieve on-target thickness. SolveTech’s breakthrough technology has opened the door to significant improvements in your production. The BF200 Blown Film Gauging System is an affordable tool that combines reliable thickness readings with simple, trouble-free performance.

ENHANCE EXISTING EQUIPMENT

Adding a BF200 Blown Film Gauging System to an existing extruder is a good way to get the most out of your equipment. It will help you generate significant saving in time and material. Catch upsets or drifts that may occur and get operator feedback that enables quicker set-ups. This proves to be a cost-effective way to improve quality and reduce scrap.
