Protection, Packaging, Hygiene Films – Leading Technology for Your Cast Film Needs
We are an industry leader in cast film technology for applications in food packaging, personal care markets, stretch and cling films. Our knowledge of multi-layer cast film structures and MDO (machine direction orientation) coupled with innovative dies and winders, high-efficiency cooling rolls and superior control technology enables us to support customers worldwide.
Our reliable extruders and cast film extrusion equipment add value by consistently reducing scrap and improving processing rates. Cast films and cast embossed films processed on Davis-Standard cast film systems are known for high tensile strength and excellent barrier properties. The supply of barrier cast film lines and CPP film lines are among our areas of expertise.
We support several extruder configurations for hand and machine wrap applications. Co-extrusion systems are available to match line sizes with respect to desired layer percentages, film thicknesses and operating line speeds. We have capabilities for producing coextruded films from three to more than 30 layers (microlayers). The production of five layers using four extruders is the most common. Film forming is typically by vacuum box on a large diameter chill roll to control pre-stretch film properties. Winding systems feature fully automatic roll and core handling systems.
Line sizes are available for net finished widths as listed below with the 120-inch/3-meter, 6-up line being the most popular and flexible.
Typically, all lines are geared in to run at speeds up to 2300 fpm/700 mpm.
