Combo lab lines run blown/cast film or sheet.


A five-layer cast and blown film line for lab or small-scale production was recently built by Macro Engineering & Technology Inc., Mississauga, Ont. It can be converted from blown to cast film in less than 2 hr. Switching involves removing the 4-in.-diam. blown film die and attaching the 22-in.-wide cast film die. With the latter in place, the extruder platform is raised and a pre-aligned casting unit is moved along tracks into active position. The line is equipped with all the features of a full-scale blown and cast film line. including a D10 dual-lip air ring, IBC IBC International Building Code
