HazePro gauges optical properties of films inline

Dec. 1, 2019
NDC's new gauge provides superior measurements, real-time feedback for quality control.
HazePro NDC Technologies’ HazePro gauge is used inline to determine the degree of haze in both narrow and wide films. It works by measuring the amount of light that is diffused when it passes through a transparent material. The gauge is appropriate for various types of film, including agricultural, packaging, anti-glare and hygienic. Its haze measurements correlate with the ASTM D1003 standard.

What’s new? The gauge, which debuted at K 2019.

Benefits Real-time quality control. With accurate, immediate data on the optical properties of plastic films, manufacturers can precisely adjust their extrusion process to maintain product quality and consistency, reduce waste and increase process efficiency. Additionally, the HazePro gauge is not affected by process variations such as web flutter or thickness changes. It also provides superior measurements to those of camera-based inspection systems. The device requires no routine maintenance because a pneumatic air wipe keeps its window clean.
