EDI® Sheet Dies
Whether your specific sheet application requires our standard EDI® Ultraflex™ die design, a heavy-duty sheet die, or a die with optional features like FastGap™ technology, Nordson's highly skilled team will work with you to design an innovative solution to meet your needs.
Overview
Product standards that governed the sheet industry over a decade ago are no longer acceptable in an increasingly competitive marketplace. Nordson is committed to providing sheet processors with proven technology to meet the growing demands of our customers.
Deliver Quality Sheet
We have more experience with sheet extrusion applications than all other extrusion die manufacturers combined. Our customized flow distribution channels leverage this experience by including design details that provide real value, including broadened processing windows, more uniform sheet orientation, and improved coextrusion uniformity.

Benefitting Your Process
We're With You Through Thick and Thin
Whether your process involves the production of thin or thick sheet, we've got a die system that fits your needs.
EDI® dies feature customized manifolds, based on rheology of each material being processed. By designing a die specific to the polymer recipe used in production, we help processors optimize their product's quality while reducing costly material waste.
Save Time: Take Advantage of Our Configure to Order Program
Looking for a quicker delivery of your sheet die? Consider our 'configure to order' program for sheet applications!
After collecting data from sheet die orders over a multi-year period, we've developed an efficient ordering method for customers looking for a streamlined die design. Our 'configure to order' program offers customers a variety of options - from the lip length to finishing touches, such as deckles. Time is saved by configuring the full die order from the beginning, removing the need for collecting additional specifications and approving assembly prints.
