ABSTRACT:
In a blowing head for making tubular films from thermoplastic material, a lateral inlet for supplying molten material opens into a first annular passage having an upper boundary wall, which extends in a plane which is substantially radial with respect to the blowing head. A second annular passage is provided, which is concentric to the first annular passage and leads to a die orifice, from which the tubular film is extruded. The said second annular passage is separated from the first annular passage by a tubular partition, which has a flow guiding surface, which adjoins both annular passages. The axial length of said tubular insert, measured from the upper boundary wall to the flow guiding surface, decreases from the inner end of the inlet to the diametrically opposite line of confluence of the streams of molten material diverging from the inlet in such a manner that all flow paths for the molten material flowing from the inlet to the die orifice are substantially equal in length. In one aspect of the invention, the film blowing head is formed with concentric axial passages for supplying and withdrawing inflating and cooling air and one or each of the inner and outer walls defining the second annular passage is formed between the line of confluence of the streams of molten material and the die orifice with coolant conducting bores, which are connected to coolant supply and withdrawing lines. In a second aspect of the invention, a heating cuff extends in heat transfer relation to one or each of the inner and outer walls which define the second annular passage, with the exception of the region that extends axially from the line of confluence to the die orifice. Both aspects of the invention may be combined.
