The most important factors for the work of the film blowing machine are three factors:
One temperature (machine temperature, indoor temperature)
double helix
Three cooling systems

Energy Saving
The energy saving of the film blowing machine can be divided into two parts: one is the power part and the other is the heating part.
Energy saving in the power part: Frequency converters are mostly used. The energy saving method is to save the residual energy consumption of the motor. For example, the actual power of the motor is 50Hz, but you actually only need 30Hz in production, and the excess energy consumption is wasted. Wasted, the inverter changes the power output of the motor to achieve energy saving.
Energy saving in the heating part: Most of the energy saving in the heating part is the use of electromagnetic heaters. The energy saving rate is about 30%-70% of that of the old-fashioned resistance coil.
1. Compared with resistance heating, electromagnetic heaters have an extra layer of insulation, which increases the utilization rate of heat energy.
2. Compared with resistance heating, the electromagnetic heater directly acts on the material tube to heat, reducing heat transfer heat energy loss.
3. Compared with resistance heating, the heating speed of electromagnetic heater is more than a quarter faster, reducing the heating time.
4. Compared with resistance heating, the heating speed of electromagnetic heaters is faster, which improves production efficiency and puts the motor in a saturated state, reducing the power loss caused by high power and low demand.
The above four points are the reasons why Feiru electromagnetic heater can save up to 30%-70% energy on film blowing machines.

Frequency conversion application
Process principle
Add dry polyethylene particles into the lower hopper, and enter the screw from the hopper by the weight of the particles themselves. When the pellets come into contact with the threaded bevel, the rotating bevel faces the plastic and generates a thrust perpendicular to the bevel face, pushing the plastic particles away. Pushing forward, during the pushing process, due to the friction between the plastic and the screw, the plastic and the barrel, the collision and friction between the particles, and also due to the external heating of the barrel, it gradually melts. The molten plastic is filtered by the machine head to remove impurities and comes out of the die mouth. It is cooled by the air ring and blown through the herringbone plate, the traction roller, and the finished film is rolled into a cylinder.

The main structure
It is mainly composed of extruder, machine head, die head, cooling device, foam stabilizing frame, herringbone plate, traction roller, coiling device, etc.
extruder
The extruder is mainly composed of a screw, a barrel and a hopper, a speed reducer and a drive motor. The drive motor adopts an electromagnetic speed regulating motor (a variable frequency ordinary motor can also be used). The reducer is driven by a belt drive to cause the screw to rotate in the barrel; making it The plastic pellets in the hopper are heated externally and the molten plastic is extruded from the die opening through three-pass filtration.
Die head
This unit adopts an advanced spiral die structure. Based on the special characteristics of high-pressure, low-pressure, mixed materials, and recycled polyethylene materials, the main technologies such as spiral angle, setback angle, setting angle length, and die opening are designed. Parameters were selected and finalized after multiple comparative tests.
cooling device
Composed of cooling air ring, air duct, blower, etc.
Electrical control
Generally, the unit is equipped with a unit operation cabinet. Press the main button to turn on the main power supply and turn on the main switch of the motor. You can control the fuselage and tee through the sub-button switches respectively. Each button of the die is heated by electric heating. The two sets of coils in the key part use thermocouples. Automatic temperature measurement and automatic temperature control. During normal production process, the temperature can be automatically controlled to ensure stable and reliable production process. There are many types of film blowing machines, including PE, POF, etc.
The material blown out with brand new particles has uniform color and luster, clean, and the bag stretches well.
Some people also use recycled plastic bags to make particles. This kind of particles is generally called old material. When it is made into particles, it is usually gray. When making bags, pigments are usually added. The bags are unevenly colored, brittle and easy to break. , the price is also lower.
use
Although they are recycled plastic bags, they are generally waste bags in the bag making process. There is a big difference between them and ordinary garbage plastics.
The film blown by the film blowing machine is suitable for various high-end film packaging. This kind of film can be widely used in light and heavy packaging due to its good barrier properties, preservation, moisture-proof, frost-proof, oxygen-proof and oil-resistant. Such as various fresh fruits, meat products, pickles, fresh milk, liquid drinks, medical supplies, etc.

Heating retrofit
step
1.
It is necessary to remove the original heating ring of the modified part of the barrel.
2.
Measure the size of the barrel, generally including the circumference, calculate the required insulation cotton and estimate whether the winding position is sufficient based on the power of the original heating coil.
3.
Wrap the insulation cotton on the barrel and tie it tightly with a high-temperature bandage to keep the thickness of the insulation cotton at about 1.5-2.0CM. In order to make the installation more beautiful, a layer of 0.5mm insulation resin can be wrapped on top of the insulation cotton. plate.
4.
Wrap the electromagnetic wire on the wrapped barrel, and the electromagnetic wire should be wrapped as tightly as possible.
5.
Install electromagnetic heating control cabinet.

Note broadcast
⒈The operator cannot stand directly in front of the machine when operating the machine to avoid accidental injury to the operator. When feeding, be careful to prevent metal impurities in the raw materials and hard objects that may damage the machine such as small operating tools from falling into the barrel. Do not wear gloves when operating rotating machinery to prevent injury from being caught.
⒉ Check and add lubricating oil in the reduction gearbox and air compressor, and check the lubrication condition of each mechanical transmission component. Avoid dry operation that could damage the machine and make noise.
⒊When starting up the machine, you must first check whether each power supply connection is disconnected or leaking; check whether the instrument is damaged or abnormal. Before starting the machine, make sure that all components are safe and normal to avoid affecting production and causing accidents.
⒋ Within the range of film forming conditions, increase the molding temperature, cooling air temperature and blowing ratio; then the film turbidity will increase and the gloss will decrease; otherwise it will increase.
⒌When the material is discharged uniformly from the die mouth, you can wear gloves and slowly pull up the tube blank. At the same time, seal the end of the tube blank, slightly open the air inlet regulating valve, and put a small amount of compressed air into the center hole of the mandrel, and then carefully The ground guide passes through the foam stabilizing frame and herringbone plate, and penetrates into the traction roller and guide roller until it is rolled up (if embossing is required, it must go through the embossing roller)
⒍The compressed air pressure for inflating the tube blank must be appropriate, so as not to cause the tube blank to rupture, but also to ensure the symmetry and stability of the membrane tube, thus ensuring quality production.
⒎When cleaning the extruder and die opening, you can use a copper knife, rod or compressed air to clean, but be careful not to damage the screw and the smooth surface of the screw.
