EDI® Optical & Thermally Sensitive Film Dies

EDI® Optical & Thermally Sensitive Film Dies

Manufacture film that provides optimal clarity, while also adapting production for shorter just-in-time runs and frequent rate changes. 

Overview


We offer specific extrusion die features to enhance film optics, including sharp and durable lip edges, which help processors avoid build-up and die lines. In addition, our dies are designed with low volume flow channel geometries for rapid purging and complete surface renewal during product changeovers. Customers also benefit from our advanced Autoflex™ lip adjustment systems, which deliver unsurpassed film uniformity and production efficiency.

Benefitting Your Process

EDI Contour Die Manifold

Maximize Extruder Uptime


Our manifold designs and Contour body shape offer dimensional and process stability, and at the same time, help processors achieve uniform film properties and fast material purging. 
Optical Film Application

Deliver Highly Effective Film


EDI® Contour® dies are designed with a varying body thickness, which prevents differences in lip deflection across the width of the die. This dimensional stability allows for rapid product changes with a low inventory flow channel - resulting in film with exceptional clarity.
