Blown Film Trends

Increasing number of multi-layer lines 5-, 7-, and 9-layer

Transfer of traditional 3-layer films to 5-layer structures

Increasing number of films with barrier properties

Since 2009

increasing number of 5-layer lines focus of 9-layer lines for high barrier applications

MAJOR APPLICATION: FOOD & PACKAGING FILMS

Enhancement of Film QualityCamber

Camber of film is caused mainly by different length in the collapsing frame

L1L2

Different length depends on collapsing angle ,e.g. for a collapsing angle 11°: 0.34 % length difference

L1 > L2

Page 27: Document1

Enhancement of Film QualityFlatness

Bagginess in the film are mainly causedby length and temperature variations

Bagginess leads to different lengths of

the film, when cutting into stripes

Bagginess in the film

Slightly stretching of the film optimizes

film flatness

Page 28: Document1

EVOLUTION ULTRA FLAT Take-offEnhancement of Film Quality

THE KEY FOR SUPERIOR FILM PRODUCTIONEnhancing film quality through integrated flattening package

Customer benefits Improved film flatness Reduced film camber Reduced film bagginess Reduced waste

Superior post processing performance Improved printing speed Improved register accuracy Improved product quality

Superior energy efficiency through use of “first heat”

EVOLUTION ULTRA FLAT Take-offBullet Points

Highest film quality concerning flatness and camber→ superior converting processabilities

High energy-efficient process

No negative influence on the thickness profile due to minimal stretching

Page 30: Document1

EVOLUTION C Automation

Page 31: Document1

Job Change Assistant

Secure product changewithout operator errors

Faster than operatorscan manually do

Parallel actions

Less scrap, less costs,more profitable pro-duction

Higher line availabilityfor production

Page 32: Document1

ConclusionsThe day after tomorrow

Continuous Improvements on raw materials

Use of different raw materials, replacing traditional structures

Simplyfying structures

Improvement of barrier properties

Increase of output

Using more Layers with reduced resin cost

Further down gauging - Stretching the limits
