1.10. Casting Area After extrusion, Chill Casting is being achieved by rapid cooling of the molten web to the desired level of crystalline and by proper uniform pinning of the melt to the chill roll. The rollers and the water spray unit are so arranged that the sheet is cooled quickly and evenly from both sides and a uniformity of flat sheet can be obtained. A cooling roll, a water spray unit rolls, an air knife and a driving device are installed on the frame with wheels, which can be moved by a motor toward line direction along rails.

1.11. Longitudinal Stretching Area (MDO) The Longitudinal Stretching Process (MDO) is by hot rollers using speed differential. During orientation, the film is heated to just below the melting temperature, then the crystals or spherulite which consists of long molecular chains are elongated and become to some extent, lined up in the stretch section. Without MD orientation the resulting film would lack stiffness and strength in that direction as well as being too easily extendible. The MDO is comprised of 3 sections of highly polished hard chrome plated roll rollers, which utilizes steam as heating medium.
