Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for the production of a blown tubular film (FT). The apparatus includes an independent device for the localized thickness adjustment at the strips adjacent to the folding edges resulting from the flattening of the tubular film (FT) by means of adjustment elements formed in angular sectors of limited extension symmetrically arranged 180° apart. The independent device for the localized thickness adjustment being a volumetric type device having a rotating ring that performs a rotating adjustment of the flow rate of a cooling air stream which takes into account the angular offset resulting from the operational parameters of the apparatus.

Abstract: A device arranged in the cooling ring of an apparatus for the production of blown films in order to adjust the thickness profile thereof is disclosed. The device includes a plurality of equally spaced motor-driven actuators that adjust the flow rate of the flow of a cooling fluid directed towards a forming cone, as well as a plurality of equally spaced resistances provided with finned dissipators arranged in the path of the cooling flow. In this way, the device combines the characteristics of low power consumption and high adjustment velocity of a volumetric device with the higher angular resolution achievable through the heating elements of a thermal device, and all of this with an operating method that prevents the risks of bubble instability or adhesion, achieves a high energy efficiency and guarantees a wide thickness adjustment range.
