Downward Extrusion Blown Film Lines

The AQUAFLEX downward blown film line uses chilled water instead of air to cool the bubble and offers fast cooling which keeps the crystallinity of the film low while maintaining its amorphous nature resulting in high clarity film with gloss and exceptional puncture and tear resistance.

The AQUAFLEX blown film lines are downward extrusion water quenched film lines to produce various combinations of PP, PE grades and barrier polymers (PA, EVOH) tailored to customer's specific requirements. For narrow width bags a twin die-head downward extrusion blown film line is also offered to produce narrow width PP bags for grocery packaging application. These lines are extremely energy efficient and give optimum production rate which makes investment to installed capacity ratio much favourable.

AQUAFLEX opens up a range of completely new packaging solutions, including 3-layer PE or PP products for medical applications as well as 5and 7 barrier films for optimum thermoforming and sealing characteristics. The AQUAFLEX - downward blown film lines are available in multilayer configuration to produce a substitute for less stringent applications of BOPP and CPP films. With the core layer of sealant polymer grade, the outer layer could be of a designer resin grade or a simple homopolymer for achieving the appropriate property mix. AQUAFLEX is available in up to 7 layer configuration to produce variety of films with output of upto 400kg/hour including asymmetrical film structures with nylon.

While mono and two layer lines are available with oscillating die, the 3, 5 and 7 layer lines are available with oscillating haul-off with advanced automation features like integrated material conveying, gsm control, gravimetric blending and dosing, automatic thickness control, fully automatic center-gap-surface winder and integrated touch screen based supervisory process control.
