20140335213 | CALIBRATION DEVICE FOR CALIBRATING AN EXTRUDED FILM TUBE - A calibration device for calibrating an extruded film tube, above the frost line, forms an annular gap between the calibration device and the film tube. The calibration device includes a plurality of calibration segments and at least one blowing nozzle. The plurality of calibration segments are distributed around a longitudinal axis and form a central feed through opening for feeding through the film tube along the longitudinal axis. The calibration segments are adjustable for adjusting the diameter of the feed through opening. The at least one blowing nozzle for each calibration segment, feeds a calibration gas to the feed through opening. The at least one blowing nozzle is formed such, that the calibration gas is guided to the annular gap substantially parallel to a surface of the film tube and that the calibration gas flows through the annular gap in a single flow direction. | 11-13-2014 |
