properties. The newly introduced Aquacage can automatically adjust the bubble diameter for film widths between 750 and 1,250 mm, similar to conventional blown film lines.

Battenfeld-cincinnati will show the twinEX 93-28D twin-screw extruder, which was recently introduced in China The machine can be used for profile, pipe as well as PVC sheet extrusion

Film Extrusion โ ข Windmรถller & Hรถlscher (W&H) will present the modular Aquarex blown film line with water cooling as well as the newly developed Aquacage, which allows automatic adjustment of the bubble diameter and thus increases the form flexibility of the line. The demand for new, innovative films is increasing in all areas of application and industries. Asian customers as well appreciate the high quality and the innovative properties of films produced with water cooling, says W&H.

W&H will present the modular blown film line Aquarex with water cooling

The Aquarex blows film downward and uses water instead of air to cool the bubble, allowing for rapid cooling of the melt, thus keeping crystallinity of the film low and maintaining its amorphous molecular structure. The resulting positive film properties are high clarity and gloss as well as good sealability, puncture resistance and favourable thermoforming MARCH / APRIL 2016
