What it does
Submit your film extrusion parameters (resin blend, line speed, gauge, output rate, reject rate). The Film Extrusion Optimiser calculates material cost at live PackIndex resin prices, identifies the blend adjustment with the best cost-to-performance ratio, and models the annual saving from target output rate improvements.
Example use case
A blown film line runs 70% LLDPE / 30% LDPE at 850 kg/hr with 4.2% rejects. The optimiser calculates current material cost at PackIndex prices, models a 75%/25% blend at 2.8% reject rate, and shows a $38,000/year material and waste saving.
Frequently asked questions
What resin prices are used?
Live PackIndex LLDPE, LDPE, HDPE, and PP_FILM indices — updated weekly.
Does it model mechanical properties?
Yes — it estimates tensile strength, dart impact, and elongation impact from blend changes.
Can I submit cast film data?
Yes — the agent handles both blown and cast film lines.
