Nordson Corporation has streamlined the design of the EPC deckle system for EDI extrusion coating and laminating dies, making it easier to control edge bead and reducing downtime for width changes and cleaning.
The widely used EPC die includes an internal deckle system that reduces resin cost and trim waste by controlling edge bead formation, plus an external deckle for convenient width adjustment.
The company believes the new enhanced design provides easier control of edge bead, easier manual adjustment of deckle width, more robust and user-friendly construction and easier access for cleaning and maintenance.
“The enhancements that Nordson has designed into the EPC system address concerns voiced to us by converters—particularly the competitive pressure to maximise productivity,” said Patrick Meinen, global product line manager for EDI dies.
“Our new-design extrusion coating dies are easier to operate and maintain, while providing the same effective control over edge bead that has been the distinguishing value of the EPC system.”
