MULTI-LAYER DOWNWARD WATER QUENCHING LINE

nnnn

NAIMOLAYER & MICROLAYER TECHNOLOGY: THE FUTURE IS NOW!

nnnn

Alpha Glacier's™ innovation is based on a water cooling system

nnnn

that provides a cost-effective solution and delivers an improved

nnnn

finished product. This system features a downward water

nnnn

cooled blown film line that is well-suited for those seeking a

nnnn

high output co-extrusion line. With Alpha Glacier, customers are

nnnn

able to see and feel the difference with the improvement of the

nnnn

optical properties.

As the film is extruded from the die, it comes in contact with

nnnn

water to quench the film. In contrast, if the film is cooled very

nnnn

slowly, the heated film is susceptible to stretching and tearing.

nnnn

This compromises the quality of the film and integrity of the line.

nnnn

If these either of these problems arise, these disruptions

nnnn

become very costly. By cooling the film quickly with water,

nnnn

these issues are averted, maximizing production time and

nnnn

increasing production capacity. With Alpha Glacier, the integrity of

nnnn

the bubble improves and prevents line interruptions during

nnnn

processing, promoting economic viability. The quality of the

nnnn

film produced from the Alpha Glacier line improves substantially.

nnnn

The fact that the film stretches very little during this process

nnnn

helps to promote the material properties. Optical properties

nnnn

improve as clarity and transparency increase while haze is

nnnn

reduced. This is a highly valued property, especially for food

The end result is a high-quality film with the use of Alpha Glacier

nnnn

Nanolayer Technology.

MAIN BENEFITS:

nnnn

K INCREASED FILM STRENGTH. Film structures containing

nnnn

25 nano-layers show higher tensile strength than films

nnnn

containing 3 micro-layers of the same materials.

nnnn

K INCREASED MELT STRENGTH. More bubble stability and

nnnn

resistance to gels create excellent processing conditions to

nnnn

makethinnerfilms.

nnnn

K BETTER BARRIER FILM THERMOFORMING. Blown

nnnn

Nylon/EVOH barrier films stretch easier both in

nnnn

thermoforming and orientation.

nnnn

K BETTER PERFORMING STRETCH FILM. Many users of

nnnn

films made with nano-layer technology are seeing higher

nnnn

overall performance in use for all application.
