VarDAR DDF System From Hosokawa Alpine
Boost Your Blown Film Productivity with the VarDAR DDF System
At Euro Machinery, we take pride in bringing innovative solutions to the plastics industry. We are proud to work together with Hosokawa Alpine to offer the VarDAR DDF System—a revolutionary Variable Diameter Air Ring aftercooling system designed to enhance the efficiency of blown film production.
Why Choose the VarDAR DDF System?
Blown film manufacturers often struggle with issues such as blocking (when the inside surface of the bubble sticks to itself) and excessive tackiness on the film’s outer surface. These challenges lead to production inefficiencies, reduced output, and increased downtime. The VarDAR DDF system addresses these problems by providing additional cooling above the frost line, ensuring a more stable and efficient process.
Key Benefits of the VarDAR DDF System:
- Reduces Blocking and Tackiness: The system’s dual-direction cooling air significantly minimizes these common film defects.
- Boosts Productivity: Recovers lost productivity by eliminating the need to slow down due to blocking.
- Easy Installation & Compatibility: It can be retrofitted onto existing lines or installed in new systems, without interfering with other production controls.
- Enhanced Film Quality: By maintaining a controlled air gap and optimizing airflow, the VarDAR DDF ensures uniform cooling, leading to better film appearance and performance.
- Optimized Slitting & Separation: The system helps maintain a loose film over trim-less slitting blades, reducing the likelihood of production interruptions and improving web splitting at the secondary nip.
How Does the VarDAR DDF Work?
The system comprises three main sections:
- System Control (HMI + PLC): Manages airflow and automatically adjusts settings for optimal performance.
- Air Delivery (Blower + Heat Exchanger): Provides precise and consistent cooling.
- DDF Air Ring: Mounted in the tower, it generates a dual curtain of cooling air, directing airflow both upward and downward to stabilize the bubble.
Advanced Engineering for Maximum Efficiency
- Curved Cooling Blades ensure even airflow distribution.
- Carbon Fiber Blades & Idler Rollers reduce weight while enhancing bubble support and stability.
- Automated Air Gap Control ensures precise cooling, turning off airflow when not needed.
- Multiple Size Options allow manufacturers to choose a model that fits their production needs.
