Invest in a future for your plastics manufacturing that you can be proud of.

Excellence in gauging technology is critical to excellence in plastics manufacturing. At SolveTech, we’ve seen this proven time and time again; to succeed in the plastic industry, nothing will pave the way as well as enlisting the help of the most powerful and reliable gauging systems available.

plastic film thicknessAccurate and precise plastic film thickness measurement is at the top of the list when it comes to challenges in the plastics industry. In general, extruders are designed with standard gauges pre-installed, though without the unparalleled precision and consistency of a non-contact capacitance-based thickness gauge. We’ve realized what it can mean for a manufacturer’s productivity and efficiency when something as simple as a plastic film thickness gauge is given an upgrade.

We consider our gauges to be more than just an upgrade, however. To us, and to our customers, our gauges are an investment: an investment in efficiency, consistency, and unprecedented quality. Let’s take a closer look at how easy it is to conquer the measurement of plastic film thickness.

How to Make Plastic Film Thickness Gauging Simple

SolveTech’s innovative designers have created a unique array of gauging systems that are based on our groundbreaking capacitance-based non-contact measurement technology. Our proprietary technology promises many advantages over standard gauges. To begin with, it’s a technology that ensures complete safety since it uses a non hazardous measurement technology.

Additionally, it serves as a launchpad for a wealth of intelligent gauging capabilities, worked into each of our gauging systems in various ways. Our systems are capable of providing you with valuable real-time feedback, designed with accuracy that rivals all other alternative gauging technologies, and built to withstand the most difficult manufacturing environments.

Blown film production is the most common form of thin film manufacturing, and SolveTech has created two specialty systems designed specifically with blown film manufacturers in mind.

For on-line blown film gauging, the BF200 BLown FIlm Gauging System solves several problems at once with ease. Designed for measuring film after the lay-flat, the BF200 has outperformed all other post-layflat gauges on the market, using the die’s rotation or haul off to return real-time thickness profiles.

For off-line measurements, the Precision Profiler is a powerful laboratory tool that gives thickness measurements every 0.125 inches. The Precision Profiler is also the tool we use to provide our free sample thickness analysis, so don’t wait to send in a sample and see how our systems do on a material of your own!
