Rowad is quite confident with multinational experienced technical team and on the process control system which is operation-friendly, resulting in less machine startup time, and so less product changeover time. With the direct fluff feeding in extruder without mixing with virgin resin, a better film quality is achieved. Few unique advantages are like no risk of clogging in chill roll tubes, as the chill roll is spray type. Plus caloduc type heating system for melt line and filter-system avoids direct contact of heaters with the melt, maintains uniform heating, and reduces the risk of burning of the melt. Thus, caloduc type heating system for the MDO pre-heating rolls ensures uniform temperature throughout the roll-width. In addition, the four stretch roll systems in MDO ensure smooth stretching, and so zero surface defect film, which is achieved with four motors TDO maintaining smooth stretching of the film, also a better chain track system. With above high tech equipment, the whole production facility is fully air-conditioned to avoid the effect of temperature change. Further, to make the building dust-free, a positive air pressure is maintained.
