Method for shaping tubular films in downward and wet manner

摘要

A method for shaping a tubular film in a downward and wet manner is provided in which an extruded tubular film is coagulated in contact with a coagulation liquid which flows down along the inside surface of a cylindrical composite perforated wall composed of a cylindrical perforated wall and cylindrically piled up circular rings of coiled wire provided in a single layer and in contact with the inner surface of said cylindrical perforated wall, provided in a negative pressure chamber connected to the lower part of a coagulation liquid-supplying pool; in this coagulation, coagulation liquid is fully utilized by mixing with a reflux coagulation liquid formed when a part of coagulation liquid once flows out through said wall and is collected in a plurality of coagulation liquid-collecting weirs provided around the outer surface of said wall, and then flows again through said wall to the inside thereof; and said film is drawn downward while being supported on the inner surface of said wall by friction due to suction under negative pressure and taken up by pinch rollers.
