How to Eliminate Bubbles and Gels in a TPU Cast Film Lamination Line?
2026-08-12
Introduction: TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is highly hygroscopic and heat-sensitive, making it notorious for causing bubbles or "fish-eyes" (gels) during processing. If your production suffers from these surface defects, optimizing your TPU cast film lamination line is the ultimate fix.
The Problem: Moisture in TPU resin breaks down the molecular weight at high extrusion temperatures, leading to volatile gas bubbles, reduced transparency, and lower peeling strength.
GWELL’s Precision Solutions:
Advanced Pre-Drying System: GWELL integrates a specialized honeycomb dehumidifying hopper dryer that drops moisture content to below 0.02%. An automatic vacuum feeder ensures stable, moisture-free raw material delivery.
Anti-Sticking Hopper & Feed Port: Because dried TPU pellets easily stick, GWELL utilizes a uniquely designed feed throat cooling and special barrel discharge opening to ensure non-stop, smooth feeding.
Low-Shear Barrier Screw: Our specialized barrier single screw (GWS series) alternates mixing zones to achieve thorough plasticization without overheating the melt, eliminating the root cause of thermal gels and crystallization points.
Conclusion: Eliminating defects requires precision from the feeding throat to the die. Partnering with GWELL ensures your TPU cast film lamination line delivers crystal-clear, defect-free premium film every time.
