Nordson has more experience than anyone in designing multi-channel, high out-put dies for the RPVC siding industry.
Highly accurate flow channel designs deliver significant value because less cap stock material is used to provide the same weathering resistance when compared to siding produced using less accurate equipment. The EDI® Multiflow™ I-R flow distribution manifold provides this accuracy along with longer run times due to its superior streamlining characteristics.
Increase the Durability and Efficiency of Vinyl Siding
We are committed to supplying innovative solutions to help our customers increase their profitability. The dual-stage flexible lip die feature enables siding manufacturers to finally have direct control over expensive cap layer materials - taking productivity to a whole new level.
By directly fine-tuning the cap layer with small profile adjustments to the channel gap (prior to the combination point), siding manufacturers can deliver a product that offers the long-term durability and efficiency that the construction industry requires.
Increase Raw Material Savings
Siding manufacturers aim to produce a cladding that provides long-lasting weatherability and aesthetics, which often means adding costly materials with enhanced capabilities to the coextrusion process.
When added as a thin cap layer over PVC, the uniformity of the enhanced polymer can be challenging to control, leading to high scrap rates and increased downtime.
