Extrusion International USA 5-2022

31 Extrusion International 5/2022 airflow to the air ring. Fully digital, very high resolution of the control is assured by a multitude of control zones that can be moved to any “in” or “out” position within each channel. Addex’s proprietary mapping software pro - cesses the raw profile input from several profiler options, including the Kundig K-500 Rotamat KT thickness measur- ing system (showing at K 2022), plus all other Kundig and NDC profiling options. The mapper combines profiler sig - nals with feedback from reversing haul-off position and nip roll speeds to achieve 1-degree film profile mapping, producing best-in-industry twist and turn compensation due to Addex’s sophisticated mapping. Kundig rotomat mounting points are included stan- dard, providing excellent stability support for the bub - ble which stays on center for better quality profiles and enhanced film quality. “By stabilizing the bubble near the sensors’ profiler, everything gets better because the bubble is not moving around,” says Cree. “This elimi - nates the spikes, dips, and high points that aren’t real, but a consequence of bubble motion; this smart bubble cage stabilizes the bubble and makes the profile quality better to begin with.” TheAddex Cooling and Stabilization Systemcomes ready- to-install, using just two connection types – power and eth- ernet – which interconnect the system in a simple way. A mini-control panel can control just the cage or optionally be expanded to integrate the DIBC, EGC, and Short Stack together. Addex’s pre-engineered solution for installation minimizes downtime, requiring only a four-point mount to install. The company reports that retrofits with the Digital Bubble Control System, including operator training, can be accomplished in as little as two days if mounting points are pre-installed. This automation of a blown film line can be retrofitted to older lines, giving customers the best value for their investment - with standard delivery times running 14 to 16 weeks. “The biggest advantage of this fully-integrated system approach to bubble control is the support it provides op- erators, especially those less experienced, thereby ensuring experienced results,” said Cree.

The PLASTICS industry is investing billions of dollars into recycling technology and contin- ues to find solutions to make it easier for consumers to recycle more material, keeping valuable plastic in the economy instead of in a landfill.” The investment in mechanical recycling will enable Novolex to produce up to 28 million pounds of recycled content, per year, to create new products made with post-consumer recycled content. The state-of-the-art equipment chosen for the expansion will be able to identify and sort a wide range of incoming materials such as plastic bags, pallet wrap, agricultural film and more, providing important flexibility in the range of potential incoming feedstocks. At full capacity, the plant will utilize up to 40 million pounds of polyethyl- ene waste that will be diverted from landfills each year.
