BOPET, BOPA, BOPP, PLA & OPS Applications

BOPET, BOPA & PLA applications are highly specialized. Premium vacuum arc re-melted steel is used to provide the best polishing characteristics. Proprietary manufacturing technology allows for extremely sharp lip edges to prevent die lines. Optional Microflex lip design provides tighter gauge resolution when combined with Autoflex adjusting points on 21mm centerlines.

BOPP dies are available in versions that have one, three, four or five separate distribution channels. Adjustable restrictor bars, as well as fixed distribution bars are available.  The Autoflex VI-R system with 21mm adjusting point centerlines and our Microflex lip design is highly recommended. A variety of distribution block styles are available to provide versatility in the layer arrangements.

OPS dies with either automatic or manual flex-lip adjusting systems are available. Restrictor bars are used to achieve fundamental distribution, with the flexible lip employed for fine-tuning. Small-profile sliding deckles can be provided which do not compromise the conventional lip-to-nip air gap. EDI’s Toggle FastGap lip adjusting system is commonly included on OPS dies, because of the convenience of on-line gap control.
