Cast Film Line
The OCS Cast Film Extrusion Line is a versatile tool that can be used to produce high-quality flat film with a variety of options / sensors that can be used to detect and measure optical and physical properties, such as haze, gloss, density, and additives. This information can be used to ensure that the film meets the desired specifications.
The OCS Cast Film Extrusion Line is designed to be reproducible, meaning that the film produced on the line will always have the same properties. This is achieved by storing all settings and parameters in the touch panel control system. This information can be used to recreate the same conditions for each batch of film, ensuring that the quality is consistent.

The OCS Cast Film Extrusion Line can be customized to meet the specific needs of each customer. For example, devices for detecting gels, contaminations, and degradations can be attached to the line for quality control. Additionally, devices for measuring haze, gloss, density, and additives can be attached to the line to provide detailed information about the film’s properties.
The OCS Cast Film Extrusion Line can be used to test a variety of polymers, including PP, PET, PC, HDPE, and LDPE. The polymers can be in the form of pellets, powders, or flakes. This flexibility allows the line to be used to test a wide range of materials.

Film Thickness Measurement (FTM)
The OCS Film Thickness Measurement (FTM) allows the continuous measurement of the thickness of polymer film (flat film, blown film or tape). For measurement, the film is guided between two precision rollers. One of the rollers is deflected according to the film thickness. This deflection is measured by a digital probe and evaluated by microcontroller-based electronics. The measured value is shown on a display and can be evaluated via analogue or digital interfaces.Technical Details
| Measuring range | 0–5000 µm |
| Exactness | +/− 1 µm |
| Haul-off force | 1 N |
| Haul-off speed | 0–20 m/min |
| Communication protocol | MODBUS/RTU (further protocols on request) |

Gloss Measurement (OGM)
The OCS Gloss Measurement (OGM) is designed for the constant and precise control of film gloss properties. The measuring device is integrated into the Modular Film Analyser (MFA). It enables a continuous measurement of the gloss value on polymer film. The gloss properties of films are analysed based on their different ability to reflect light. A special LED lighting unit illuminates the continuous film while a photo diode measures the strength of the reflected light. The measured amount of gloss, from matt to glossy, is given in GU (Gloss Units).Features
- Robust, precise measuring unit
- Gloss measurement in GU (Gloss Units), matt to gloss
- Alarm function when limit value exceeds or falls below a specified range
- Continuous measurement of the gloss value as well as calibration according to ASTM D523, DIN 67530, DIN EN 14086 and ASTM D2457
Technical Details
| Measuring area | 60°: DIN 67530, 45°: DIN EN 14086, 45°: ASTM D2457 (0–150 GU), area 3 cm |
| Measuring range | 0–200 GU |
| lndicator resolution | 0.1 GU |
| Averaging | 1–50 s |
| Detector | Silicon photo detector with spectral evaluation |
| Communication protocol | MODBUS (RTU, TCP/IP), PROFIBUS, PROFINET, OPC (Server/Client), CSV file, customer-specific |

Spectroscopical Measurement APLAIRS®
APLAIRS® (Analysis of Plastics by InfraRed Spectroscopy) is a spectroscopic method for measuring additives, (co-)monomer compositions and chemical and physical properties in the production of polyolefins. This concept allows the automation of the daily continuous measurement requirements for quality control. For this purpose, the polymer film runs through the APLAIRS® system, which is equipped with an FTIR spectrometer and specially developed software.The measurement takes place in real time. The spectra are recorded and properties are predicted, documented and graphically processed. The results can also be transferred to superordinate systems. This ensures continuous quality control and documentation and the resulting reliable control of various processes. The automated sample preparation leads to personnel savings and significantly reduces labour costs.
Features
- Using the software, continuous recording of spectrums and prediction of analysis data (every three minutes)
- Robust and precise FTIR spectroscopy
- Conventional as well as multivariate analysis can be applied to predict the analysis data
Application Areas
- Analysis of materials, such as LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE, PP, ABS, PS, PET, EVA and PC
- Analysis of additives such as antioxidants, lubricants, UV absorbers, stabilisers, fillers, processing aids, etc.
- Testing of physical properties, such as density in polyolefin, thickness, etc.
