Blown Film Cooling

Blown Film Cooling

Leading blown film extrusion equipment supplier of patented, highest-output cooling air rings, automatic & manual gauge controls, and the Quick-Change Digital IBC control system. “Intensive Cooling” is Addex’s patented revolutionary approach to cooling the bubble. Addex’s totally new aerodynamic air ring design is responsible for dramatic increases in output while preserving bubble stability.
Intensive Cooling optimizes performance for both high- & low-melt strength processes. The most popular configuration replaces the conventional dual flow’s low-velocity, diffused-flow lower lip with a very high-velocity, focused air stream, which is mounted flat-to-the-die to create an entirely new lock point above the die lip.
Guaranteed minimum of 10%-15% average increase in output rate. Customers have reported actual outputs considerably higher. It is not uncommon to see a 30% increase in output, especially for stiffer materials.
Intensive Cooling operates over a wide range of configurations & materials, supporting fast changeovers and enhanced bubble stability, even at higher output rates, yielding an even broader range of processing parameters such as Blow Up Ratio, thickness, and melt strength. When combined with Addex’s patented auto-profile External Gauge Control (EGC), processors experience significant improvements in thickness variation. The combination of higher output & quality associated with Intensive Cooling Auto-Profile easily justifies retrofitting both.
