Abstract

See full text

A process and apparatus for controlling the thickness of film made in a blown film machine having a rotating die, wherein a variable speed motor is used to control the haul-off speed of the film from the machine, by subdividing the die rotation into angular segments, measuring the blown film thickness at a point fixed in space and across each of the angular segments, and calculating an average film thickness for an angular segment, and comparing the measured thickness against a preselected desired thickness, and increasing or decreasing the speed of the variable speed motor to change the haul-off speed to bring the measured thickness into agreement with the preselected thickness.
