Internship location: Kerkrade

Internship duration: 16-25 weeks

The ExxonMobil plant in Kerkrade produces BOPP film for Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Winding of the film is one of the crucial processes necessary for film production. For this purpose a contact roll is used. Goal of this research is to optimize the construction of the contact roll for better damping and les air inclusion. Optimization should be founded with a Finite Element Analysis of the contact roll structure.
