Laboratory extrusion line CFL 65

cast-filmfor thermoplasticsfor research and development

Overview
The CFL 65 is a 65 mm-wide micro cast film line designed for R&D and formulation development. It incorporates dedicated, advanced temperature control to deliver improved process stability and to enable production of larger test samples for evaluation of optical, mechanical and barrier properties.

Performance and operation
In under 10 minutes the CFL 65 can produce high-quality wide cast films using the 65 mm heated film die. It supports film thicknesses from 5 µm up to strip thickness and has a minimum batch size of approximately 15 ml. For larger sample needs the system supports continuous operation, allowing production of many meters of film or strip.

Benefits

• Dedicated temperature control for improved process stability and repeatability
• Enables larger, more representative test samples than smaller lines
• Efficient R&D workflow: capable of producing over 20 distinct film samples per day
• Minimal material waste and low operating costs for formulation development
