Abstract: Apparatus for the production of extruded blown cellulose film from a solution of cellulose, water and an amine-oxide, which includes:—extrusion apparatus for continuously extruding a cellulose solution to produce a cellulose film;—solidifying apparatus for solidifying the extruded cellulose film;—drawing apparatus positioned downstream of the extrusion apparatus for continuously drawing the extruded cellulose film from the extrusion apparatus; and a tubular member for containing precipitation apparatus and for receiving an extruded blown film wherein the tubular member is situated within a precipitation bath. The invention also includes a method of extruding blown film.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a process for manufacturing cellulose molded mers wherein a solution dissolved in amine oxides is shaped in a nozzle and the shaped solution is led after an air gap into a precipitation medium. The molded solution is passed successively through at least two precepitation media, which are selected so that a slower coagualation takes place at least in the first precipitation medium than the final precipitation medium.
