EDI® Ultraflow™ V-T Adjustable Geometry Feedblocks
Reduce production downtime for fine-tuning layer thicknesses of structures ranging from the simplest sheet to complex packaging films with the EDI® Ultraflow™ V-T coextrusion feedblock. This feedblock has adjustable “combining planes” located where the melt streams join the central flow channel.
Overview
The Ultraflow™ V-T is our most advanced coextrusion feedblock design. Since debuting at the K 2016 trade show, this feedblock has become a trusted system for producers looking to expand their production capabilities.
Why choose an adjustable coextrusion feedblock?
Adjustable geometry designs allow producers to make quick changes to their product with minimal impact on their output. Whereas fixed geometry feedblocks require a production line to be stopped to change layer ratios or structures, an adjustable geometry feedblock provides the opportunity to make adjustments without fully stopping the extrusion process.
