PE & Non-Barrier Films
SkYmex– Capacitive Gauging System
- Ideal applications: all blown film applications, excluding barrier products.
- Mono and co-extrusion applications.
- Capacitive technology (contact / non-contact options).
- Three stage telescopic arm (patent).
- Rotating system and encoder band 360° – know position at all times.
- Encoder band = belt free motion = significantly less maintenance and better accuracy.
- Ultrasonic distance sensor automates telescopic arm setup – ensures gauging consistency.
- Available for bubble diameters from 100mm up to 9m.
