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.

Explore our drying and web-handling equipment, or review the WL-500ZY-KX drying oven when comparing other listed configurations.

Compare this oven with the other listed roles in the roll-fed film drying oven selection guide. It separates pre-shrink treatment, inline drying and constant-tension handling, including the figures that need written confirmation.

Suitable materials

Film substrates used for membrane switches, diffuser films, heating films and flexible circuits, subject to confirmation of thermal response, dimensions and handling requirements through sample testing.

Product questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the WL-500-YSS-KX used for?

The WL-500-YSS-KX is a pre-shrink drying oven for film-processing workflows. The catalogue lists membrane switches, diffuser films, heating films and flexible circuits as application areas. Confirm the need for pre-shrink treatment and the required result using the intended material.

What is the maximum material width?

The catalogue specifies a maximum web width of 500 mm. Provide the actual roll width, thickness, reel dimensions and handling requirements so the usable material path and setup can be confirmed.

What do four heating zones and 60 m storage mean?

The oven is listed with four heating zones and a material storage length of 60 m. The storage figure is not the oven floor length. Confirm the internal material path and operating speed when determining exposure time for your process.

What temperature should be used for pre-shrink treatment?

The working temperature range must be confirmed in the technical quotation. Select process settings through testing with the film supplier information and the required dimensional stability. Do not assume one temperature is suitable for every film or application.

What power and installation provisions are required?

The listed supply is 380 V and listed power is 28 kW. Net weight is 1200 kg and gross weight is 1800 kg. Obtain a confirmed installation drawing and electrical schedule before allocating floor space or preparing connections.

What should I provide for a quotation and material trial?

Send the film type and thickness, web width, reel dimensions, upstream and downstream processes, required dimensional stability and target output. Include the available floor space and electrical supply. Agree on treatment conditions and acceptance criteria after reviewing samples.
