Introduction

Three layer blown film extrusion (also known as blow film co-extrusion) is a process of simultaneously extruding in molten stage three polymers which adhere to each other through a common die to form an integral film of unique strength and barrier properties. The selection of layers depends upon end properties required as well as items to be packed. Some combinations of layers are as under

Sl. No. Combination Application
1 LL/LD/LL Heavy-duty bags
2 LL/HD/LL Industrial base food oil, backed confectionery, dry vegetables, dry unit, hydrogenated oil, lube oil
3 LD/SCRAP/LD Garbage bags.
4 HD/LD/LD Industrial base food oil, backed confectionery, dry vegetables, dry unit, and hydrogenated oil, lube oil
5 HD/LL/Primacor Oil packaging.

This project is based on the combination of LLDE/LDPE/LLDPE layer which produces the heavy duty bags.


Market Potential

Now-a-days the Three Layers Coextruded blown film is playing a major role in the packaging industry. It is replacing the conventional packing materials like paper, aluminium foil, tin, glass etc. These films are considered for packing purpose because of specific requirement of self-life and protection to product. The other advantages are excellent resistance to puncturing, heat sealability, gas barrier, high mechanical property high bursting strength etc. Due to these properties these films are having very good scope for packaging.

Technical Aspects

Process of Manufacture

Raw materials are fed into the hopper, which gets heated in the barrel with the help of the heater. The melt in the extruders is conveyed forwarded by the screw rotation. The three extruders individually feed the three channels within the die. All the flow channels converge into a single flow channel, just a little distance before the material is blown out from the annular die orifice. The rotating die ensures even distribution of the melt flow while coming out of the die orifice. The rotating die ensures even distribution of the melt flow while coming out of the die office. The bubble is cooled by means of air circulation arrangements. The predetermined size of the blown film is obtained by inserting compressed air through the die. Iris rings, flattering boards, counter rotating nil rolls draw the film upwards and flatten it into a two layer lay flat film, which is wound on the winder. The film is also treated with corona discharge equipment and then printed on flexography or rotogravure printing machine in desired colours.
