Blown Film Extruder features reverse air cooling.
Machinery & Machining Tools

Blown Film Extruder features reverse air cooling.

Backdraft(TM) Extruder, suitable for blown film and plastic processing, has design that removes heat and air currents from extrusion area to optimize bubble stability and energy efficiency. Individual dampers are connected to common air plenum in machine base, which is in turn connected to single exhaust fan. When closed, dampers prevent energy loss through convection cooling. Air is drawn...
