Blown Film Thickness Measurement

NDC has been supplying measurement and control solutions to the blown film industry for over 35 years. The NDC 8110-BF system includes a polar plot display designed specifically for blown film measurement and control, and supports all of the necessary features needed for today’s competitive blown film market.

The NDC GBS (Gamma Backscatter) sensor design enables accurate film thickness measurement directly on the bubble and closest to the die. And unlike competitive capacitance gauges, the NDC GBS is insensitive to the compositional make-up of the film structure, making it ideal for measuring total thickness of products such as multi-layer packaging films.

For multi-layer products such as this, NDC's FG710S Sensor is available and is capable of simultaneously measuring up to four different product componenents. Mounted on the layflat, the FG710S provides component-specific measurements, a truly valuable feature for use on packaging films where costly barrier films are involved.

The high performance NDC die mapping algorithm means that the right adjustments are made every time. A fully automatic profiling system is available, assuring the best quality product roll after roll.

Key benefits:
  • Improve product quality
  • Maximize product yield
  • Minimize production costs
  • Minimize scrap
  • Optimize the process
  • Reduce downtime
  • Shorter start-up time
  • Save on raw materials
By reducing the time to make a control change, an NDC System helps significantly reduce start-up time and scrap product. This means more profit on your bottom line.
