Blown Film Thickness Measurement

NDC has been supplying measurement and control solutions to the blown film industry for over 35 years. The NDC 5100TC system with its polar plot display is 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. This gives the added benefit of allowing faster machine adjustments. For measurement on the lay-flat, NDC NIR Sensors are also available.

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.

The NDC GBS, unlike competitive capacitance gauges, is not sensitive to the compositional make-up of the film structure, making it ideal for measuring total thickness of products such as multi-layer packaging films.
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.
