Layflat Width Control for non-IBC Extrusion Lines
The lf-Sizer layflat control system provides scrap reducing startups, long term layflat stability and performance reporting to customers with nonIBC extrusion lines. By measuring the bubble soon after the frost line, the system can achieve the proper bubble size quickly. The lf-Sizer control system is flexible and comes with the widest variety of configuration options available in the industry. The unit is designed to handle flat widths from 25mm to 13 meters! Some of the configurable features include automatic startup, on-the-fly size changes, process alarms, bubble break outputs, statistical reporting and industry standard communication interfaces (including RS232 and Ethernet). Installation is quick and easy, no electrical terminations required. Standard compressed air of at least 70psi (~5 bar) is required. Separate pneumatic control panel ensures all electronics are kept clean over the long term. Sizing cage is beneficial but is NOT required.

Standard
With Flat Width Measurement
The standard nonIBC system comes standard with two layflat sensors with room for expansion to a total of four sensors. A four inch (100mm) amber touch screen interface works well for both novice and experienced users. Novice users can run the system from only one screen while experienced users have access to trends, performance statistics and much more.
Optionally, a Kundig flat width bar can be directly integrated into the system. The flat width bar should be mounted near the winder so final film width is registered. With a single button press, the operator can calibrate the system to the final width produced at the winder. This eliminates guess and wait tactics required on competitive systems and provides absolute accuracy in measurement.
Statistics of operation are provided to confirm product is produced within required specifications.
