monoaxial MDO stretching machine for films (machine direction orientation)

The single-axis film orientation that is employed by HOSOKAWA ALPINE, provides beneficial services to the operator by allowing the optimization of the film?s features and at the same time, meet its thickness, stiffness, strength, elasticity, puncture resistance, shrink behavior, tear barrier and dead fold properties, luster, transparency, and vapor permeability requirements of the application.

The MDO systems stretches a blown film between two rollers running at different speeds, depending on the needs. Conventional stretch ratios range from 1:3 to 1:10 banking on the material used.
