Hello:

I have a problem with the extrusion of PP Strap Band. We always extruder one strap at a time, but when we change to a die with two exits for two straps at the same time, the straps have different width, 2 mm difference, so we have clean the die, and give more temperature to the die side that the strap have less width, but nothing happens, still the same problem. Any Idea?

Thank you

Antony

Look for sources of imbalance.

Heaters
Thermocouples
Melt temperature
Pulling speed

Extremely small differences in geometry from side to side, especially in narrow gaps, can cause imbalance.
