PROCESS CONTROL
BLOWN-FILM MANUFACTURING
For high-standard and space-constraint applications requiring precise heat
Application
“Blown Film” refers to a broad range of plastic films manufactured for a wide range of
uses. Examples of products made from blown film include trash and kitchen bags, plastic
wrap, cellophane tape, laminating films, food packaging, agriculture and membrane films,
industrial packaging wraps, and much more. To manufacture blown film, air and plastic are
blown through heated tubular chambers of varying diameters to create a thin film which
is then cooled and transferred to rollers. A precise combination of heat and air is used
to properly produce the blown film. If it is not combined accurately, the product may be
defective, causing huge losses of finished goods in addition to production downtime.
Solution
BriskHeat’s mica band heaters provide the precise heat required to properly
manufacture blown film. These band heaters are computer designed and manufactured
to exact application specifications. Materials are the highest quality, low-thermal-
expansion stainless-steel clamps are used to maximize surface contact, the nickel/
chromium resistance wire is evenly wound for uniform heat distribution, and exact watt
densities can be attained. Additionally, they are moisture and corrosion resistant, have
a low-profile 0.125 in (3 mm) design, and can be manufactured to UL standard UL499
and CE compliance.
For industrial applications where monitoring temperature is a critical need, the TTD
controller is an easy-to-use controller that offers a digital display for easy programming
and visual temperature identification. Larger heaters with amp ratings greater than 12
Amps, should use a TC4000 Series controller with ratings up to 50 amps.
Other Applications
BriskHeat Band Heaters are used in applications found in injection molding, die casting,
tank & drum heating, pulp & paper processing equipment, food & candy extruders,
vending machines, and analytical instrumentation.
