Blown Film Extrusion Troubleshooting

Cause (s) Possible Solution (s)
Blow-up ratio
  • Use a smaller die head to increase the blow-up ratio
Improper die design or scratches
  • Clear die impurities
  • Fix scratches on the die head
  • Avoid seams by design
Material cracking
  • Change the material
  • Turn down heating temperature
Inappropriate raw material formula
  • Select raw materials with suitable Melt Index (MI)
  • Select compatible additives
Uneven gels mix
  • Use screw with a greater L/D
  • Adjust the melt temperature
  • Use multi-layer strainer meshes for filter, or reduce the die gap, to improve back pressure
