Extrusion Line Components
Optimise performance & reliability across your extrusion line
UK Extrusion supplies advanced extrusion line components from Syncro, designed to optimise the precision, efficiency, and automation of plastic extrusion processes. These systems form a critical part of any high-performance extrusion line, improving product quality, reducing waste, and enabling tighter process control.
Syncro is a global leader in automation and extrusion technologies. Working with processors across blown film, sheet, and profile extrusion sectors, they develop modular systems tailored to each line’s requirements.
All systems are backed by UK-based installation, support, and spare parts services from UK Extrusion.
Extrusion Line Component applications
Trusted across diverse processing environments
Syncro’s extrusion line components are used across a wide range of thermoplastic extrusion processes, including:
- Blown film extrusion
- Flat sheet and rigid film lines
- Profile extrusion
- Barrier and multi-layer film production
- Reprocessing and recycling extrusion lines
These systems help maintain profile accuracy, enhance cooling and calibration, monitor and reduce defects, and improve material consistency at all stages of the process.

VORTYX
Internal Bubble Cooling (IBC) System
An innovative IBC system for blown film lines that increases output and stabilises the bubble during extrusion. Key benefits include:
- Fast bubble start-up and stabilisation
- Increased output by enhancing cooling capacity
- High-pressure blowers and automatic damper control
- Available in models with 1, 2 or 3 inlets
FLYER
Air Ring System
FLYER is Syncro’s next-generation cooling air ring for blown film extrusion:
- Independent upper and lower lips for efficient, uniform cooling
- Integrated auto-profile control (APC) compatibility
- High cooling performance with energy-efficient design
- Designed to work seamlessly with IBC systems for optimum film quality
TYPHOON
Air Cooling Ring with Integrated APC
A fully integrated air ring system with automatic profile control:
- Capacitive thickness sensor integrated into the air ring
- Precision profile control for gauge uniformity
- Suitable for use with barrier film and high-output lines
- Compatible with all main blown film extruder brands
YRONFLAT
Annealing & Calibration System
A contactless system for film flattening and layflat correction:
- Ensures film flatness without mechanical contact
- Reduces defects and improves winding quality
- Adjustable temperature and airflow for optimal annealing
- Ideal for lines producing barrier films or materials sensitive to tension
SYIBC
Layflat & Bubble Control System
An intelligent layflat control system combining infrared and capacitive sensors:
- Precise diameter measurement and control
- Real-time monitoring with feedback loops
- Integrated bubble stability system to reduce waste
- Easy integration with other Syncro systems
APC
Automatic Profile Control
Available across several Syncro systems, APC automatically adjusts the extrusion profile for consistent output:
- Uses inputs from capacitive, optical, or thickness sensors
- Adjusts cooling or extrusion parameters in real-time
- Minimises gauge variation and improves product quality
- Compatible with barrier and mono-layer films
Supervisory & Control Systems
Syncro’s SYCLOPE and SKYLAB software suites provide full supervisory control:
- Real-time line monitoring, alarms, and remote access
- Modular interface for full or partial line control
- Enables traceability, recipe management, and trend analysis
- Integration-ready for Industry 4.0 and smart factory environments
