Abstract: The invention relates to a calibrating device and to a method for calibrating a film tube. An elastically deformable element (704) is secured to the sleeve (703) such that a fluid, in particular a gas, preferably air, can be introduced or discharged via a fluid connection such that a specific pressure P1 and/or a specific volume V1 is set in an area (708) enclosed by the sleeve and the elastically deformable element at a given temperature. Annular bodies (706) and (707) are arranged within the area (708), and a surface section of each annular body (706), (707) supports a respective region of the elastically deformable element (704). The elastically deformable element (704) regions which are supported by the annular bodies are located in the inlet region (711) and the outlet region (712) of the calibrating device for the film tube (713).

Abstract: The invention relates to a calibration device (1) for calibrating a blown film (6), said device comprising; —a tubular region (55) with at least one inner wall (92), through which region the blown film (6) can be passed; —a liquid reservoir which provides a liquid and which is situated above the tubular region (55); an inlet region, in which the liquid can be introduced into the space between the outer wall of the blown film (6) and the inner wall (92) of the tubular region (55); and —a scraper device (117), situated below the tubular region (55), by means of which scraper device at least part of the liquid can be removed from the outer surface. The distance of the liquid-removing regions of the scraper device (117) from the main axis of the blown film (6) can be altered.

Abstract: A device and a method for calibrating a blown film are provided, said device comprising: a tubular region with at least one inner wall, through which region the blown film can be passed; a liquid reservoir, which can be used to provide a liquid and which is situated above the tubular region, the liquid being guidable between the inner wall and the blown film; and a suctioning device, situated below the tubular region, for suctioning off at least part of the liquid from the blown film. At least one liquid-permeable element is provided, said element surrounding at least parts of the periphery of the blown film. This device permits the distance of the liquid-permeable element from the main axis of the blown film to be altered.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of regulating the thickness profile of inline stretched films which are manufactured in a blowing process. The films are positioned flat in a reversing take-off, which are laid and which are subsequently stretched monoaxially in a machine direction in a stretching unit. In accordance with the present disclosure, the thickness profile of the film is regulated such that a film produced by the stretching, having a deliberate thickening in its marginal region over the total film width, is of uniform thickness.
