1,271,759. Making laminated tubular films. AMERICAN CAN CO. AND SKELLY OIL CO. 6 July, 1970 [15 July, 1969], No. 32654/70. Headings B5A and B5B. An extrusion die for producing laminated, tubular, plastic film comprises a die with an entrance and an annular exit linked by a passageway which contains a means for dividing the input of fluid plastic material into a plurality of separate streams. Each stream is further subdivided and the resultant substreams formed into ribbons which are then re-united edge-to-edge to form a film; one film being formed from each original stream. These films are then joined interfacially together and extruded from the die as a tubular laminate; the films being so joined that the joints between the ribbons in one film are covered by the ribbons in the adjacent film or films. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 2, the die is composed of a series of separable parts which are readily removable for cleaning. The base 12 of the die is of generally cylindrical form and has a die ring 13 overlying it with the die ring body 14 held between these two. A die mandrel body 15 is positioned within the ring body 14 and an overlying die mandrel 16 lies within the ring 13 and over, and in contact with the die mandrel body 15. The mandrel body 15 and the bevel 12 form a chamber 26 which contains a melt-spreader plate 27 7 which divides the plastic fluid entering via entrance 28 into two streams one passing above the plate and the other below. Fig. 3 illustrates this spreader plate 27 in plan view with details of the lower side given in dotted lines. The material which flows along the upper face reaches it via central passage 34 and then separates into sub-streams along passages 36 which are of constant width by the passage 34 but near the periphery diverge so that adjacent channels just meet at the circumference of the plate. The plastic passing along the lower fall is similarly sub-divided into substreams by similar channels 35, which, however, are offset from channels 36 in order that the joins in the material which has passed along the upper face do not coincide with that which has passed along the lower face. The latter material passes as a tubular film upwards along annular passage 32 where it is then laminated with the film formed from the upper stream and the combined laminate extruded via passage 31 and the narrower passage 30 to the annular exit 29 and is then blown. A further embodiment is described for producing a trilaminate; the principles of the design of which can easily be adapted for production of higher multilaminates. These dies may be rotated if required to be.
