Increased outputs

Increased output and better quality at a reasonable price is a goal of every blown film manufacturer. Our experience at Windmöller & Hölscher is that it's not always necessary to invest in a new line in order to achieve higher output levels.

Often retrofitting an existing machine is all that's needed. Experts in W&H's Retrofits Department specialize in modernizing existing equipment, for example retrofitting a blown film line with the latest air ring technology. Since the opening of the department in 2008, W&H has performed more than 400 retrofits on a wide range of equipment.

Optimal cooling is crucial for increasing output on a blown film line. For this, the OPTICOOL air ring retrofit is an ideal solution. Compared to standard dual air rings, the OPTICOOL offers a significant increase in production and improves film tolerance and quality. This results in better smoothness for downstream processing as well as less scrap. Other advantages of retrofits include increased ease of handling and line flexibility. W&H's high performance air rings can also be retrofitted onto blown film lines from other manufacturers, however, depending upon the line's requirements, either the OPTICOOL or MULTICOOL retrofit packages would be applicable.

In addition to retrofits, W&H can also upgrade existing W&H air rings with the „MULTICOOL High Performance Package.“

In addition to air rings, W&H offers a wide range of retrofit solutions that can help improve the performance of blown film lines, from extruder- and screw technology to new and improved die design.
