Dual Spiral offers lighter, compact extrusion die

Compact Coex die  Dual Spiral Systems has introduced a modular extrusion die for blown film and tubing. The Compact Coex die has the same layer-splitting feature that is available on the company's traditional dies, so film properties have not been changed. 

What's new?  The smaller size. Both height and weight have been reduced by 50 percent compared to the company's traditional multilayer modular die system.

Benefits  The die features faster heat up time, lower residence time in the die, faster purges and material changeovers and reduced energy consumption, all due to the die's reduced size. The lighter weight also allows for easier handling and moving.
