Die diameter and output

Author	Topic: Die diameter and output
yori Junior Member	posted 08-22-2002 01:25 AM I had the idea that if I use a larger die diameter, I can increase the output of a blown film line, due to the larger surface area at the bottom of the die (layflat remains the same, so the BUR goes down - 1.3:1 -> 1.1:1). Any input? IP: Logged
