For the production of high-quality, high-performance films, Alpha Marathon's die packages offer unmatched solutions. Our advanced die designs, featuring the patented Flow Mixing Channel technology, provide a clear advantage in both design and performance.

Alpha Marathon offers two innovative die systems:

• Cylindrical Die Design AMVS – Ideal for up to 5-layer co-extrusion applications.
• Stackable Die Design AMDS – Suitable for up to 11 layers, with a unique design that doubles the number of extruded layers.

Features & Benefits

• Patented Flow Mixing Channel (port-to-spiral design)
• Computer-simulated precision design
• No polymer hang-ups, ensuring clean and efficient operation
• Low residence time
• Precise gauge distribution (as low as ± 5%)
• Low pressure design (4000 – 5000 psi)
• Streamlined melt flow from extruder adapter to die exit
• High-quality ceramic heater bands and thermocouples for superior temperature control
• Highly polished melt flow passages for seamless performance

The Alpha Marathon Dual Spiral System (AMDS) stackable die offers unparalleled film quality by doubling each layer for enhanced characteristics. AMDS dies are particularly effective in high-barrier film packaging, especially for food or medical films where premium resins are used to achieve optimal film properties.

By doubling the layers in each module, the film gains superior characteristics per layer. The temperature isolation feature in each module allows for a broader range of resins and film structures, enabling the use of temperature-sensitive materials.

With AMDS dies, multi-layered films can meet the most demanding requirements, ensuring excellent performance across a wide range of applications.

Flow Mixing Channel

Alpha Marathon’s Flow Mixing Channel is incorporated into every die package Alpha Marathon currently produces.

The Flow Mixing Channel provides a highly efficient port to spiral distribution design allowing no areas for hang up and a highly streamlined design for optimal performance. Delivers a more homogenous melt profile for improved film properties Color and resin changeovers are typically achieved much more quickly as a result of the efficiency of the flow mixing channel design.
