An Efficient Moisture Control System

Film thickness is a crucial characteristic of packaging materials and various other products, as it directly impacts permeability, tensile strength, impact resistance, and other properties. From a financial perspective, controlling material thickness within a specified range is an effective method to reduce production costs. For instance, many extruded films, like blown film, have progressively become thinner.

Manufacturers have been very successful in reducing out-of-spec film thickness by installing the IR-3000 Near Infrared (NIR) sensor. It provides a continuous, accurate measurement of film thickness. The unit is mounted above the assembly line and sends readings to a computer that can send an alarm for out of range readings, or make pre-programmed adjustments to the line. We understand that small differences in the film thickness make a lot of difference in whether the product lies within specification or not.

When producing plastic film—whether for camera film or packaging—consistency is critical to the quality of your end product. Maintaining the ideal thickness for your plastic films is the difference between a quality, product to provide your customers and waste.

To ensure the production of high-value products, manufacturers require a dependable system that can accurately measure film thickness at every stage of production. MoistTech offers non-contact film thickness gauging solutions that not only provide precise real-time feedback but also enhance product quality, minimize waste, increase productivity, and yield better results.
