In the case of a die head and a process to produce multilayer tubular film made from thermoplastic polymers, the advantages of radial distributors and axial distributors should be combined. This is achieved in that at least one distributor is a plate distributor and at least one distributor is an axial distributor, whereby the plate distributor is located in an annular element of the axial distributor upstream of the melt merge zone to the ring-shaped die.

Die head and process to manufacture multilayer tubular film

The invention relates to a blow head for producing blown tubular films from thermoplastic materials. Films produced by conventional blow heads often have dull strips or wavy areas, the so-called spiral strips. The aim of the invention is to avoid these negative film properties. For this purpose, the blow head comprises a plurality of annular gap-shaped melt channels arranged concentrically around the center axis of the blow head, the spiral distributor of the inner melt channel being arranged on the inner limiting wall in relation to the center axis of the blow head and the spiral distributor of the outer melt channel being arranged on the outer limiting wall in relation to the center axis of the blow head.
