In collaboration with Prof. dr. em. Han Meijer, Xplore Instruments BV recently developed a tape die line (TDL ) add-on which enables you to produce ultra-oriented foils with exceptional properties from just a small amount of material. This tape die is a unique asset for the development of new ultra-oriented foil or tape formulations. It will create new product opportunities by delivering quick, reliable test results of foils and tapes with excellent mechanical properties. When connected to our Xplore MC 15 HT or MC40 compounder, it is a full-fledged ultra-oriented tape or foil casting solution for your R&D challenges. Are you in for a game-changer regarding the mechanical properties of tapes or foils?
Then our TD add-on for our MC 15 HT offers you the solution. It provides reliable and reproducible, speedy results with less material, minimal waste, and cheaper infrastructural costs. The core of this laboratory oriented tape/foil die is formed with our MC 15 compounder and an insulated temperature controlled, easy to clean, tool steel housing tape/foil die. The die can adjust its slit height between 0,05 and 0,4 mm, which enables you to be flexible in your processing workflows.
A sophisticated coat hanger design inside the tape/foil die in combination with the 125 holes (0,5 mm) of the channel plate (optional 512 holes of 0,12 mm) together with the inner fibre fusion section creates an optimal flow of the visco-elastic material processed.
This results in an ultra-oriented tape/foil with excellent unique mechanical properties.
The MC 15 HT compounder will, besides, be equipped with a pre-feeding unit, stainless steel feeding hopper and elongated forced feeding screws.
This guarantees an equilibrium in the main barrel, in combination with the existing force measurement (Fv) this enables a constant throughput of molten material, hence near-perfect tape or foil dimensions. The die temperature, cast and draw speed can be monitored on the provided control box which is part of the complete setup.
