Packaging film makers to environmentally friendly packaging solution choice visa measuring instrument
Customer: Futamura UK
Visa offers: HMT330 and HMT360 series humidity and temperature transmitter, and two Indigo520 transmitter and four HMP5 relative humidity and temperature probe
Challenge: continue to manufacture is not at the expense of the environment of packing
With companies from all over the world are trying to reduce the waste and carbon footprint of products, and the rising market demand for environmentally friendly packaging, Futamura take on, has become a large-scale sustainable cellulose packaging film producers in the world, products including its NatureFlex ™ series cellulose packaging film, etc.
To produce this kind of sustainable film, need in the process of production to ensure precise conditions.This makes the high precision of temperature and humidity measurement becomes necessary, especially in the film during drying process and finished product storage.Futamura UK use visa in their entire factory measuring equipment, including air conditioning coating tower's visa HUMICAP ® HMT360 humidity and temperature transmitter.Due to coating tower containing highly flammable solvents, so the products are used in these areas must be after explosion protection environment.Visa pull HMT360 transmitter (has beenHMT370EX ATEX certificationReplace) is intrinsically safe, and therefore suitable to use in the danger zone.
Visa measuring instrument is also used to pull Futamura UK casting machine, installed in dryer in order to measure temperature and humidity.Visa pull HUMICAP ® humidity and temperature instrument series HMT330 demanding industry application is dedicated to provide you with high precision measurement.The transducer control a valve, the valve to increase or reduce the steam into the dryer, keeping humidity in drying each specific film type the required set point.Moisture content is one of the important factors affect the final film properties, therefore accurate control is very important to guarantee quality and reduce waste.Because HMT330 series is early models, Futamura hope their measuring instrument is never out of season, so the company to contact the visa for advice.
