Film extrusion line – cast mode
Film extrusion line – cast mode
| MANUFACTURER | Labtech Engineering |
|---|---|
| MODEL | LF-400-COEX |
General description:
When the line is in cast film mode, 5-layer films with a configuration of A-B-C-D-A can be produced using the four single-screw extruders. By incorporating the twin-screw extruder and using a different feedblock, it is possible to produce up to 9 layers with a configuration of A-B-C-D-E-D-C-B-A.
