Achenbach OPTIFOIL® Separators

To produce extremely thin foils down to 5 µm, two foils are doubled before they can be rolled in a final operating cycle. The Achenbach OPTIFOIL® separators AFS are complete machines for separating and possibly slitting the doubled foils after the final rolling process into strips.

Typical performance figures of Achenbach OPTIFOIL® separators (AFS):

  • Max. foil widths 2150 mm
  • Foil gauge range 2 x 4.5 µm to 2 x 70 µm
  • Max. running speeds 1400 m/min
  • Max. unwind diameters 2100 mm
  • Max. rewind diameters 1200 mm

Individual customer requirements are perfectly met by a number of design, automation and process modules.

'State of the Art' OPTIFOIL Separators

  • Constant foil guiding conditions during the complete separating process; to achieve this, the rewinders are linearly adjusted with increasing diameter
  • Reproducible winding tightness
  • Automated coil, empty spool and finished roll handling
  • AC drive technology
  • Convenient material handling achieved by movable welding rollers
  • Quality standard according to DIN EN ISO 9001
