Abstract

The invention relates to a multi-layer blowing head for a blown film installation, to a blown film installation, and to a method for operating a blown film installation. Specifically, according to the invention, a component is included on the opposite side of a distributor plate of a distributor plate set for a spiral distributor, wherein part of the spiral distributor is formed out of the opposite side of a distributor plate. The blowing head according to the invention for forming a multi-layer melt flow makes it possible, in the case of suitable operating parameters, to prevent the occurrence of spiral strips or at least to make said spiral strips less pronounced.

First claim

1 . blowing head for a blowing film installation,
for forming a multi-layered annular melt stream in a ring channel by means of several set of spirals leading in the direction of the ring channel, and for exiting the melt stream from a ring slit nozzle for forming a film hose pipe, wherein the ring channel leads in an extrusion direction to the ring slit nozzle, with a distributor plate package, which forms a pre-distributor, a set of spirals and a distribution plate channel, wherein in a distribution flow direction the pre-distribution leads over the set of spirals and the distributor plate channel into the ring channel, wherein the set of spirals comprises a spiral channel exit direction, which is arranged parallel to the extrusion direction in or against the extrusion direction, wherein a first set of spirals is arranged with respect to the extrusion direction of the blowing head is at least partially disposed upstream of a first distributor plate channel, wherein the spiral channel exit direction of this part points in the extrusion direction, or the spiral channel exit direction of a first set of spirals points radially outward with respect to the extrusion direction at least partially, characterized in that a second set of spirals is arranged with respect to the extrusion direction of the blowing head at least partly downstream of a second distributor plate channel, wherein the spiral channel exit direction of this part points in the extrusion direction.

2 . Blowing head according to claim 1 , characterized in that the second set of spirals is arranged in consideration of a volume predominantly, preferably completely, in relation of the extrusion direction downstream of the distributor plate channel.

3 . Blowing head according to claim 1 , characterized in that
the second set of spirals is predominantly arranged in a channel course view, preferably completely, downstream of the distributor plate channel with respect to the direction of extrusion.

4 . Blowing head according to claim 1 , characterized
in that the second set of spirals is arranged in a channel course view, at least a last third of the channel course, downstream of the distributor plate channel, preferably at least a second half, in particular the entire channel course.

5 . Blowing head according to claim 1 , characterized
in that the distribution plate package consists of layered plates in extrusion direction, wherein, in any case, the plate which is arranged downstream with respect to the extrusion direction plate comprises the set of spirals as recesses.

6 . Blowing head according to claim 5 , characterized in that the distributor plate package consists of stacked plates in the direction of extrusion, wherein, anyway, with respect to the extrusion direction, the downstream plate of the distribution plate package comprises a set of spirals and comprises the distributor plate channel as recesses.

7 . Blowing head according to claim 1 , characterized
in that, with respect to the extrusion direction, the downstream plate of the distribution plate package forms the outermost laying channel in relation to the ring channel.

8 . Blowing head according to claim 1 , characterized
that the blowing head comprises in addition to the distribution plate package described above another distributor plate package.

9 . Blowing head according to claim 1 , characterized
that the blowing head comprises in addition to the distribution plate package described above an axial spiral distributor part.

10 . Blowing head according to claim 8 , characterized in that the distributor plate package is arranged on top.

11 . Blowing film installation with a blowing head according to claim 1 .

12 . Method for operating a blowing film installation for forming a multilayered annular melt stream in a ring channel by means of several, in the direction ring channel leading, set of spirals,
and for exiting the melt stream through a ring slit nozzle to form a film hose pipe, wherein the ring channel leads in an extrusion direction to the ring slit nozzle, wherein the layers of the film hose pipe are produced with a distributor plate package and melt is guided through by a pre-distributor for each melt, and is guided by a set of spirals and a distributor plate channel, wherein in a distribution flow direction the pre-distribution leads over the set of spirals and over the distributor plate channel into the ring channel, wherein the melt in guided through a set of spirals in spiral channel exit direction parallel to the extrusion direction or against the extrusion direction, wherein the melt of a first layer is guided, with respect to the extrusion direction of blowing head at least in part by an upstream of a first distributor plate channel arranged set of spirals in the extrusion direction of the blown head, or the melt of a first layer is guided, at least partially, with respect to the extrusion direction of the blowing head radially outward, characterized in that the melt of a second layer is guided with respect to the extrusion direction of the blowing head, at least in part, by a downstream of a second distributor plate channel set of spirals arranged against the extrusion direction of the blowing head.
