Addex Inc.

Addex is a global supplier of high-performance blown film equipment, focused on higher throughput, film quality, and operational simplicity. Retrofit or OEM basis. Addex has developed unique products that help processors increase yield and realize raw material savings. Latest among these innovations is our Intensive Cooling Air Ring, a patent-pending modular stack plus enclosure – that when installed between the die and Addex dual flow air ring, provides high film-holding forces and peak cooling efficiency, boosting output an amazing 40-60%! The Intensive Cooling Air Ring-enhanced technology applies to all Addex air ring products including automatic profile external gauge control (EGC), manual gauge control (MGC), and laminar flow (LFR) air rings. Addex has taken air ring technology to a new level by integrating Intensive Cooling technology directly into the dual-flow air ring design. The new patent-pending air rings deliver 15-20% (or greater) output and better bubble stability —over and beyond Addex’s already high performance, industry-standard dual-flow air ring design. Addex’s Intensive Cooling Air Ring-compatible EGC, known for its speed and resolution, continues to beat the competition in head-to-head comparisons. The high number of control zones, 132-344—depending on air ring size—enables the system to address film thickness variations that other systems cannot. Addex’s Intensive Cooling Air Ring-compatible IBC hardware paired with our Digital Internal Bubble Cooling (DIBC) control system, delivers high performance internal cooling with the fastest reaction time in the industry, to ensure precise bubble control, and speedy product changeovers. The Intensive Cooling Air Ring-compatible IBC hardware also ensures easy access to the die lips and easy startups by keeping the hardware fully inside the confines of the die lip diameter, and providing fully air-lubricated external surfaces that won’t hang up while pulling a new bubble.
