Learn how SolveTech brings the utmost in innovation straight to you and your plastics production.
Cast film has become the standard for ultrathin films, shrink films, and other extremely thin uniform plastic films. The machines and cast film gauges that comprise a cast film production system are undeniably more expensive and more complex than those found in a blown film system, however the process is significantly more controllable.
Blown film has generally been the standard for thin film production, until recent years where cast film technology has been growing more and more popular amongst manufacturers.
As a plastics manufacturer, then, you may be wondering, how can I feel good about investing in a high-cost process like cast film production? We here at SolveTech have risen to the challenge, and made it part of our goal to meet that growing need with high-quality, no-nonsense gauging systems that help to make the efficiency of cast film gauging worth the investment.

A Brief Look at Our Premier Cast Film Gauging Systems
On-line Gauging Systems for Cast Film:
- Single Channel Gauging System
The Single Channel gauge works to measure cast film and its thickness on a narrow web, or along the film’s edge, giving highly accurate and continuous cast film measurement in real-time.
- Multichannel Array Gauge
The Multichannel Array Gauge is ideal for finding pilot lines, extrusion data, and narrow web thickness (webs under 60 inches). 100% coverage means you get the most complete profile possible.
- Machine Direction Gauging System
We have developed specialty heads and software tailored for machine-direction analysis.
Off-line Gauging Systems for Cast Film:
- Precision Profiler
The Precision Profiler is an excellent tool for analyzing machine direction or cross-web thickness variability, and with a 1-microinch accuracy, you are guaranteed the highest accuracy once your samples are off the line.
- Precision Spotchecker
For any extremely thin, soft, or sticky materials, the Precision Spotchecker can check the material’s thickness/basis weight and give you valuable data on otherwise complex materials.
Off-line, or on-line, SolveTech’s innovative technology is here for you, and we want to work with you to create the perfect gauging solution for your company.
