Unstable cooling line height of polyolefin plastomer films (Variant: Enhanced Measures)
Problem Phenomenon
The cooling line (frost line) height of the blown film fluctuates greatly, and the film thickness and quality are unstable.
The cooling line height reflects the stability of cooling conditions and directly affects film performance.
In particular, additional attention is needed on the original basis; this problem is more prominent and requires focused attention.
Cause Analysis
（1）The air volume or air speed of the air ring is unstable
（2）The extrusion temperature fluctuates
（3）Ambient airflow interference
（4）The screw speed fluctuates
（5）The cooling air temperature fluctuates
（6）On the original basis, additional attention is needed: fluctuations in process parameters or changes in equipment status have aggravated this problem
Solution
（1）Check the air ring fan and valve to ensure stable air volume
（2）Stabilize the extrusion temperature, with the fluctuation controlled within ±3°C (180-230°C range)
（3）Install wind shields or isolation curtains to reduce ambient airflow interference
（4）Stabilize the screw speed
（5）Use constant temperature cooling air to reduce temperature fluctuation
（6）And strengthen process monitoring; on the original basis, additional attention is needed to pay special attention to parameter stability
Key Takeaway
Unstable cooling line is caused by fluctuations in cooling or extrusion conditions, and the air ring parameters and environmental conditions need to be stabilized.
Targeted preventive measures need to be taken in different production scenarios.
