Abstract
A system and method for enclosing the blowing area of a biopolymer blown film production process. The enclosure surrounds the blown film tower and includes at least a climate controller to maintain an optimal temperature for the blown film process.
Claims12
A system for producing a biopolymer blown film, the system comprising:
- an enclosure surrounding a biopolymer film bubble, the enclosure including one or more temperature sensors;
- and
- a climate controller in electrical communication with the one or more temperature sensors, the climate controller configured to increase or decrease a temperature within the enclosure.
A process for producing a biopolymer blown film, the process comprising:
- blowing a biopolymer bubble in an enclosure, the enclosure comprising one or more temperature sensors operable to detect a temperature within the enclosure;
- comparing the detected temperature to a predetermined temperature;
- and
- increasing or decreasing the temperature of the enclosure when the detected temperature differs from the predetermined temperature.

A method for controlling the temperature in a system for producing a biopolymer blown film, the method comprising:
- inputting one or more temperature parameters corresponding to one or more zones in an enclosure of system;
- polling one or more temperature sensors for temperature data corresponding to the one or more zones;
- receiving the temperature data from the one or more temperature sensors;
- determining whether the temperature data is above or below the one or more temperature parameters;
- and
- outputting a control signal to increase or decrease the temperature of the one or more zones based on the temperature data.
