DuraFlex Dies

At Allied Dies, our technology begins with polymer flow channel analysis and design. Polymer rheology data is analyzed through computer flow simulations to determine proper die design. Computer flow simulations address factors like flow rate distribution, internal pressure, and residence time in the die.

There is a Duraflex Die design to meet most extrusion requirements. Special die designs can be created for unique extrusion processes.

	DuraFlex 40L & 40R Designed with coathanger manifold in a small body for low pressure / narrow film and laboratory applications.		DuraFlex AH40 Designed with coathanger manifold for thin film, thin sheet, and extrusion coating. The design also includes a larger body cross-section for thermal stability and additional strength in high pressure applications.
	DuraFlex AL40 Designed with coathanger manifold for film, extrusion coating, and low pressure applications.
	DuraFlex AH75 & AH100 Designed with coathanger manifold for film, thin sheet, and medium sheet applications. The design also includes a larger body cross-section for thermal stability and additional strength in high pressure applications.		DuraFlex AR40, AR75 & AR100 Designed with streamline manifold and adjustable preland section using a restrictor bar. A universal design for custom sheet producers. The restrictor bar adjusts for coarse gauge control as rates and materials change while the flex lip adjusts for fine gauge control. Interchangeable lower lips can be utilized to change opening range and land length.
	DuraFlex AHR75 & AHR100 Designed with streamline manifold and restrictor bar for medium and heavy sheet applications. The design includes a larger body cross-section for greater strength and thermal stability at high pressures. Interchangeable lower lips can be utilized to change opening range and land length.		DuraFlex AHSD (Heavy Duty Sheet Die) DuraFlex AMSD (Magnum Sheet Die) Designed with streamline manifold and restrictor bar for heavy gauge sheet application. A combination of removable lower lip and an adjustable sliding upper lip provides a wide range of possible gauge thickness. Body strength and thermal stability is a very important consideration in this design.
	DuraFlex Multi-Manifold Die This design can be a combination of die designs to accommodate co-extrusions.		Automatic Flex Lip (Adjustment Option) This Auto Lip Adjustment System can be incorporated into any of our Dies with Flex Lip Design.
	Duracoat I Coating Die Designed with streamline manifold for coating with low viscosity fluids, such as aqueous adhesives, hot melts and solvents. Available with adjustable lips for coat weight control. Removable lip inserts available for high wear applications.		Duraflex Dual Lip Die Designed with twin streamline coathanger manifolds for dual film, thin sheet applications. The design allows for single feed / dual exit extrusion of the same polymer utilizing a single die.
