Engineered to Your Needs:

  • Full Layflat Contact Chilling: Provides even, full-surface chilling on both sides of the collapsed tube just before the nips.
  • Prevents Film Blocking: Eliminates the need for costly anti-blocking additives, saving you time and money.
  • Wrinkle-Free Results: The integrated spreader feature on the top slats removes wrinkles before the film enters the nip rollers.
  • Compact Design: Standard 4-slat Pre-Nip pairs require only 9 inches of vertical space on the collapsing frame, making installation quick and easy.

Pre-Nip Chillers

Pearl’s Pre-Nip Chiller is available in 4, 6, and 8 slat versions, offering flexibility to meet your specific production needs. The system chills both sides of the collapsed tube equally, ensuring consistent results and preventing film blocking.

Quick and Simple Installation:

In most cases, installation is as easy as removing the top three slats or rollers on your collapsing frame and replacing them with Pearl’s Pre-Nip Chiller. This seamless integration minimizes downtime and maximizes productivity.

Note:  Please be aware that Pearl’s Pre-Nip Chillers are intended to operate in conjunction with a Temperature Control Unit (TCU). For optimal functionality, the coolant temperature must be regulated to match the film’s operating temperature. Do not use direct plant water unless it is temperature controlled.
