  • Patent number: 12350877
    Abstract: The invention relates to a stretching device for stretching a plastic film in the transport direction thereof, having a first roll, which can be driven by a first drive and can be rotated at a first rotational speed, and having a second roll, which can be driven by a second drive and can be rotated at a second rotational speed, wherein the second rotational speed is greater than the first rotational speed, and the second roll is arranged downstream of the first roll in the transport path of the plastic film, wherein at least one of the rolls is a roll through which air can flow inwards from the outside. According to the invention at least one roll through which air can flow can be continuously cleaned.

  • Publication number: 20230173740
    Abstract: The invention describes a stretching device for stretching a plastic film in its transport direction, having a first roller that can be driven by a first drive and can be rotated at a first rotational speed, and having a second roller that can be driven by a second drive and can be rotated at a second rotational speed, the second rotational speed being greater than the first rotational speed, the second roller being arranged downstream of the first roller in the transport path of the plastic film. The device is characterized by means of varying the amount of air between the plastic film and flat elements of the first roller and/or the second roller on which the film rests.
