At Techflow Design & Manufacturing Inc., we know the extrusion process and die design better than anyone. We understand our business and how to assist our clients in meeting their objectives.
Techflow develops innovative products that help improve the clients' performance. We work with our customers to develop solutions and products to meet their specific requirements. Indeed, the Techflow mandate is to integrate blown film design and manufacturing into a package that best serves our clients' needs.
Our longevity in the blown film industry and our track record in meeting the needs of diverse clients are testament to our expertise. In addition, we continually seek the input of individuals who can contribute knowledge of the latest developments in polymer engineering.
We are confident that we can assist our clients with the strategy of updating manufacturing facilities with state-of-the-art extrusion technology. In particular, Techflow can contribute customized solutions developed by working with our clients' in-house expertise.
"Dual Lip" Air Rings
Techflow Design's single lip air rings incorporate a special laminar flow plenum that results in a minimal amount of air turbulence and maximizes distribution of air flow, providing greater bubble stability and subsequently reducing heat generation. Teflon inserts and lip geometry is designed to ensure an even air flow through out the bubble ensuring perfect concentricity with the bubble and easy operator set up for years of maintenance free performance.
Standard Features:
* Low pressure design to reduce heat generation
* Adjustable forming cone
* Magnahelic gauge
* Temperature gauge
* Special Aluminium Casting construction for maximum stability
* Mounting brackets
Optional Features:
* Insulated Plenums
* Dual Lip sets available interchangeable with plenum
* Anodized lips
* Custom Mounting Brackets
Techflow Design's unique Air Ring design allows blow up ratios that range from 1.2:1 to 4.0:1 while still maintaining optimal cooling rates and achieving high bubble stability. Built of only the highest grade of aluminum alloy and superior workmanship, Techflow Design's Air Ring incorporates teflon inserts on mating thread surfaces, preventing wear and binding. Both lips are easily adjusted allowing the bubble to lock quickly. This allows the operator to adjust the BUR on the fly. Radial vanes are precisely machined allowing equal air flow through out the Air Ring in turn distributing even airflow to the bubble.

The extruder screw is the single most important component in your extrusion line that can vastly improve your profitability. Barrier screws are often designed on a trial and error basis without taking into account the rheological nature of the polymers they are processing. This results in inefficient screws that lag behind barrier screws that are properly designed. An efficient and productive screw will pay for itself in the gains in performance you will receive. The capital investment involved in purchasing a new high performance barrier screw is minimal when compared to the savings you will receive through the added process improvements and the cost is easily justified. The following discussion will introduce you to a new concept in extrusion screw development, Techflow's barrier screws and barrels.
Some screws perform one of these tasks adequately while the others are below acceptable standards. A screw that is well suited to your application will satisfy your requirement for these parameters. Any one of these parameters that limits your operation is limiting your profitability. With this in mind it is easy to justify investing in a new Techflow screw and barrel that can maximize your profitability by optimizing each of these parameters in conjunction with one another. Consider upgrading your extrusion line with a new Techflow extruder screw and barrel all at a cost that will leave you pleasantly surprised.
Extrusion performance is measured in the following terms:
* Throughput rate
* Melt temperature and temperature uniformity
* Spiral or straight Maddock mixing section for dispersive mixing
* Melt quality and mixing uniformity
* Stability of output, pressure and temperature
* Power consumption
Services We Offer
Thanks to our experience, we are able to offer up to date planning and consultation services. The design engineering of our lines is carried out within the company with the help of CAD projection and sophisticated calculation and drawing systems.
Our design flexibility distinguishes our organization structure, and allows us to build lines that meet the high levels of performance needed to fully satisfy the real world needs of the Customer. Each line is designed to achieve high productivity together with the best product quality according to the Customer's specifications.
