Problems and solutions in woven sack(raffia) tape plant
PROBLEM CAUSES SOLUTIONS FILM PUNCTURE Hold up particle Change screen pack. Check Row Material Moisture. Check heat stability of master batch. GELES, HARD OR UNPLASTICIZED PROFILE Improper back pressure. Improper temp gradient. Moister in master batch. Change temp. Profile. Use fine wire mesh. Reduce die lip opening. Reduce adaptor flow area. Change screw geometry. Pre-dry master batch. D ENIER VARIATION Extruder surging. Film thickness variation across width. Spacer thickness variation. Improper drive Performance. Refer problem III in general extrusion processing. Reduce throughput rate. Increase die volume. Adjust die lip. Check uniformity of die temp. Check spacer thickness. Use carbon steel blade. Check drive performance. Check temperature of orientation unit across width. Check flow velocity of hot air across width. TAPE BREAKAGE Excessive stretch ratio. Low orientation temp. Hold up particle in film. Very stiff film. Extruder surgin...
