Custom Mono-Layer and Multi-Layer Dies
Our mono and multi-layer blown film technology is used in applications among numerous industries, supplying films for packaging, construction, shrink, stretch, and collation.
Mono-Layer Dies
UPE manufactures mono-layer dies from 1” diameter to 120” diameter, mounted on an oscillating block as standard. Rotating and fixed blocks are also available. Our bottom-fed spiral mandrel single-layer dies produce quality films from a wide range of polymers.
Multi-Layer Dies
UPE manufactures co-extrusion multi-layer dies from 2” diameter to 120” diameter die opening. The die can be built in the form of nested spiral manifold up to five (5) layers. We offer oscillating co-extrusion dies from two (2) layers to five (5) layers and die sizes from 2” diameter to 60” diameter.
