  • Publication number: 20190143573
    Abstract: The invention relates to a blown film line for generating a blown film with at least one extruder for generating at least one melt strand, at least one distribution tool for converting the at least one melt strand into a circulating melt layer, an outlet nozzle for outputting the at least one melt layer, wherein this melt layer forms the blown film, and at least one device for subjecting the blown film to at least one fluid stream, in particular an air stream, for cooling the blown film. At least one pressure-providing device is furnished, with which the blown film may be brought to the device for subjecting the blown film to a fluid stream by means of at least one overpressure and/or one underpressure.

  • Patent number: 9713896
    Abstract: The invention relates to a die device (10) for an extrusion blow-molding apparatus (100) for producing a multilayered blown film (300), with an inner surface (310) and an outer surface (320), having a die orifice for the discharge of a multilayered material melt (300), wherein a temperature-control device (30) is arranged in order to set a different temperature on the two sides (310, 320) of the material melt (300). The invention also relates to a method for equalizing the differences in viscosity of the materials of the layers (350) by a controlled (40, 60) temperature setting.
