Extrusion

Our wide slot extrusion line is suitable for very thin and tear-resistant films from 25 µm as well as mechanically extremely resilient films up to 1000 µm.

The coextrusion process enables Gerlinger Industries to extrude up to five different film layers simultaneously. This enables us to produce technical film systems that can be intelligently integrated into our customers' product and at the same time ensure maximum stability in production.

Extrusion of single or multilayer films at Gerlinger Industries

Our wide slot extrusion line is suitable for very thin and tear-resistant films from 25 µm (e.g. for medical applications) as well as mechanically extremely resilient films up to 1000 µm. The coextrusion process enables Gerlinger Industries to extrude up to five different film layers simultaneously. This enables us to produce technical film systems that can be intelligently integrated into our customers' product while ensuring maximum stability in production. By using either matting tools or a matting carrier, the films can be provided with a flexibly adjustable degree of matting on one or both sides. Mechanical stresses caused by friction can thus be minimised during subsequent application. Reproducible and process-reliable parameters, including inline corona pre-treatment, infrared radiators, thermo-oil-heated rollers and fully automatic layer thickness control with documentation round off the extrusion line's performance. In addition, they allow constant control and are a guarantee for the highest quality and grade. The extrusion of technical films - our core technology - is perfected by a wide range of options in further processing and coating for individual customer requirements.

Processing the granulate into film

Through an extruder, which draws the granulate into its screw and plasticises (melts) it by means of heat and shear, the transformation into a liquid mass takes place. This is then discharged through an elongated slot (flat film), where the melt then cools and solidifies into a film.
