Automatic Air Ring

Modular upgrades alongside Maguire + Syncro extrusion control – automatic air ring with APC option for better output and efficiency.

• Improve bubble stability – better air flow distribution & control
• Improve capacity & line output
• Improve product tolerances up to 75% 2σ

A critical factor on from materials blend and extrusion control for the performance of a blown film line is the Air Ring.

Upgrading an older Air Ring can deliver significant performance benefits for any blown film line.

Maguire + Syncro offer 2 types of air ring according to product specifications and productivity drivers;

Typhoon – Dual Lipset – one lipset engineered with 2 air streams to optimize stability and cooling, enabling increases in output.

Flyer – Triple Lipset / Counterflow Air Ring – one lipset engineered with 3 air streams, cooling above and below the air ring to optimize further stability and cooling, enabling increases in output.

• nsure better air flow distribution by design of M+S Air Rings.
• Gain control of product tolerances with up to 75% improvement at 2 Sigma (2S / 2σ).
• Maximize cooling efficiency with efficient air distribution by design – optimize air flow but minimize pressure losses.
• Control and better cooling expedite better bubble stability – guaranteed.
• Carbon fiber build option for moisture free process.
• Single Inlet and overall design – ensures easier access around the die for maintenance, setup, and control
• Optional modular add-ons in combination with an Air Ring can include, IBC and Automatic Profile Control (APC) of the bubble with wide range of Gauging options.

Simple Installation

• A new Air Ring can be easily retrofitted on an existing line.
• A typical Air Ring upgrade can be made within 2-5 days, covering installation and commissioning.
• Minimizing short term disruption to production – providing long term benefits to the business.
• All types of blown film Air Rings can be upgraded, including dies for Fixed, Rotating, Oscillating, and Quenching types of blown film lines.

Maguire + Syncro Design Features 

• Standard aluminum build.
• Carbon fiber build option – minimize moisture and condensation.
• Air inlet choices: standard multi-point or single air inlet – single air inlet – easier access and maintenance.
• Air Ring airflow regulation by choice of 3 configurations: Air Volume, Air Heating or Volume and Heat Combination (Tech 2.0).
• Booster Stabilizer Frame option – single to triple tier frame to lock the bubble – cooling increases = output increases.
• Manual control – simple manual setup and control, or ability to have manual APC.
• Automatic setup control option – integrating Automatic Profile Control (APC) to fully optimize line control.
• Air Ring Elevator option – Elevators fitted to Air Ring to allow for easy access to die and for setup and maintenance, plus to enable maximum cooling for triple lipset configurations.
