REQUIREMENTS TO PROCESS
TANDEM WIRE COATING
• The PVC and nylon extruders are separated- each with it’s own crosshead.
• A vacuum can utilized to adjust the jacket tightness and remove outgasses.
• Both PVC and nylon diameters can be monitored and controlled
CO-EXTRUSION COATING
• The PVC and nylon extruders use one common crosshead.• A vacuum can utilized to adjust the jacket tightness and
remove outgasses.• Only finished diameter can be monitored and controlled• A glass smooth finish can be attained.
REVIEW
