Pre-shrink treatment for film-processing workflows
The WL-500-YSS-KX is a pre-shrink drying oven for film-processing applications. The catalogue lists membrane switches, diffuser films, heating films and flexible circuits among the application areas. Use a material trial to determine whether a pre-shrink stage is appropriate before subsequent printing or conversion.
The oven has a maximum web width of 500 mm and four listed heating zones. Its listed material storage length is 60 m. This storage figure describes material held within the processing arrangement; it is not the equipment floor length or a guaranteed treatment time.
Key equipment specifications
- 500 mm maximum web width.
- Four heating zones and 60 m listed material storage length.
- 380 V power supply and 28 kW listed power.
- 1200 kg net weight and 1800 kg gross weight.
Develop the treatment conditions with your material
Provide the film specification, thickness, roll width and required dimensional stability. Review the material response under the proposed temperature, exposure time and handling conditions. Confirm the oven’s working temperature range in the technical quotation before defining the process.
Record the dimensional change and surface condition during testing so the selected settings suit the next production stage. Practical throughput and treatment results should be agreed for the tested material and operating conditions.
Prepare for installation and line integration
Request a confirmed installation drawing, electrical schedule and material-path arrangement. Include available floor space, roll dimensions and adjacent equipment in the enquiry so access and operating clearances can be reviewed.
