A blown film installation for producing a film web from a recycled material, the blown film installation comprising:
- an extruder for melting and homogenizing the recycled material into a melt;
- an annular nozzle for extruding a film tube;
- a guide for a melt flow between the extruder and the annular nozzle via an annular nozzle melt pump, for conveying the melt to the annular nozzle;
- a tube formation zone for longitudinal and transverse drawing of the film tube;
- a cooling means for the film tube moving in the machine direction;
- a collapsing section beyond the tube formation zone for collapsing the film tube into a double-layer film web;
- and
- a pair of draw-off rollers beyond the cooling means for drawing off the film tube, wherein the extruder is configured as a twin-screw extruder.
Use of a twin-screw extruder for feeding an annular nozzle of a blown film installation.
