“International Training Course Blown Film Extrusion”

This course is designed to provide a thorough overview of blown film extrusion, from

introductory through advanced topics. With an emphasis on hardware and processing, the course

will benefit all personnel involved with blown film. Other topics covered include blown film

materials and troubleshooting. During the course, "The Blown Film Extrusion Simulator" software

will be demonstrated.

Course Content

Introduction to Blown Film; Extrusion Fundamentals Overview (Five Hardware Systems, Six

Functional Zones); Blown Film Hardware – Upstream (Solids Feeding), Grooved Feed Throat,

Blown Film Dies – Side Fed Die, Bottom Fed Die, Spiral Mandrel Die, Co-extrusion Dies-Concentric,

Stack, Oscillating Dies); Bubble Geometry; Bubble Cooling-General, Air Rings, Internal Bubble

Cooling (IBC); Bubble Stabilization, Collapsing Frames, Haul-off, Winders – Surface Winders,

Axial Winders; Film Treatment; Line Control; Blown Film Materials -Polymer Types, Rheology,

Film Properties; Blown Film Processing- Melt Quality: Screw Design, Process Variables vs. Bubble

Geometry, Process /Structure / Property Relationship; Co-extrusion ?Dies, Interfacial Instability;

Troubleshooting – Extruder Problems (Surging, High Melt Temperature, Excessive Cooling, Low

Output), Film Problems (Melt Fracture, Thickness Variation, Bubble Instabilities, Die Lines, Gels,

Low Mechanical Properties), Poor Optical Properties
