In blown film installations, it is known to provide longitudinal stretching of the produced double layer film strip downstream of the draw-off, more precisely downstream of the reversing unit and upstream of the winder. It is also known to stretch the down-drawn film, wherein the film must then be preheated owing to the long cooling path from the draw-off. According to a first feature, the present invention specifies warming the film above the draw-off and then treating it mechanically. The film can thereby be brought with only little energy from a first level of warmth to a temperature level at which it can easily be worked. According to a second feature, the invention specifies providing a tractive force breakdown brake.

In a first phase, after completion of a production process for plastic films, the blowing head is heated by the heater that is present to a temperature above the melting temperature of the plastic remaining in the blowing head to liquefy the same. In a second phase, at the latest after the liquefied plastic has run out, at least the region of the blowing head that is in contact with the plastic is sealed off from the ambient atmosphere and purged of its oxygen-containing atmosphere. The head is then heated far above the decomposition temperature of the plastic still remaining, and the gaseous products thereby occurring are discharged. At the end of the decomposition phase of the remaining plastic, the blowing head is flushed through with a gas which contains at least a proportion of oxygen, in order to carry out an incineration of residual particles.

The apparatus for handling a finished roll and a winding shaft on a winding apparatus for webs of material is configured with spaced apart rails pivotal independently from one another between a winding station and a setting-down station. Each of the rails supports a carriage operative to support the winding shaft and release it upon pivoting the rails towards the setting-down station, where at least one of rails pivots away from the winding shaft so as to facilitate removal of the roll from the shaft.

An air turning bar for a take-off device for plastic films has a hollow cylindrical body having a depression in the region of the bar around which the film is wrapped. The remaining region of the bar is circular cylindrical. Air outlet openings are provided within the depression. Narrow circular cylindrical strips adjoin the ends of the depression which are provided in the longitudinal direction of the air turning bar.
