EDI® Cast Film Dies
Whether your specific cast film product requires the uniquely shaped Contour® die, a versatile Uniflow™ die, or a multi-manifold die, Nordson will work to provide an innovative solution to meet your needs.
Benefits:
- Achieve optimal product quality with customized manifolds designed specifically for your production requirements
- Reduce material usage and easily changeover products through a variety of available product features, including automatic or manual adjustments and deckling
- Reduce resin costs by precisely controlling the gauge profile
- Improve cross-directional product uniformity by up to 25% and reduce gel formation
- Reduce downtime for routine maintenance with ancillary equipment designed for added safety and convenience during 'split and clean' procedures
- Spend less time purging and changing colors between product runs due to streamlined diminishing volume flow channel of a Contour® die
Features:
- Autoflex™ automatic or manual gauge control
- Multi-manifold or single cavity coextrusion dies
- Unequaled construction and flow surface design
- Variety of finish and plating techniques available
- Unique heating and insulation package
- Optional deckle systems
- Easily adaptable to interface with new or existing equipment

Contour® Cast Film Die
|
Uniflow™ Cast Film Die
|
- Recommended for applications where thermally sensitive materials are being used and frequent rate changes are made
- Elongated teardrop, diminishing volume manifold improves layer uniformity in coextrusion applications
- Non-linear preland/manifold interface, which eliminates or greatly reduces “M” or “W” flow patterns
- Contour technology provides dimensional and process stability, and at the same time achieves uniform film properties, good purging characteristics, and avoids gels and degradation
- Significantly reduce scrapped materials by achieving acceptable product levels quicker than with a standard coathanger manifold die
- Improve product quality with lower levels of polymer degradation when compared to a conventional die
|
- Recommended for applications where thermally stable materials are being processed with very few rate changes
- Elongated teardrop manifold cross-section shape promotes uniform layers in coextrusion processes
- Versatile flow channel design accommodates a broader range of resins and processing parameters
- Outstanding mechanical stability reduces the changeover time between each product run
- For thermally stable resins, on-spec product can be produced with high yields
