A drawing line is used to stretch films and fibers in one direction, improving mechanical properties such as stiffness and tensile strength in that direction.
The custom-built Retech drawing line used for this process consists of three draw units and a winder. The oven plates and rolls have independent temperature controls, and the drawing speed is variable in several areas, forcing the material to stretch at specific ratios. After stretching, the resulting oriented monofilaments or tapes are wound onto metal or cardboard tubes for analysis or further processing at your facilities. For a successful test, a minimum starting length of 15 meters is required.
