Abstract
A thermoplastic resin film manufacturing method and manufacturing device are disclosed wherein an air volume sprayed by the auxiliary cooling device onto the surface of the film on the opposite side thereof to the cooling drum side thereof is set to be larger than the suction amount by an exhaust mechanism between nozzles, to avoid the suction of the air containing the high concentration of oligomer around the extrusion die into the auxiliary cooling device, thereby preventing precipitation and deposition of the oligomer onto spraying nozzles within the auxiliary cooling device and the suction surface of the exhaust mechanism between nozzles.
Claims3
An apparatus for producing a thermoplastic resin film, in which when a molten thermoplastic resin is cast from an extrusion die onto a cooling drum, to be cooled and solidified on the cooling drum, for producing a thermoplastic resin film, air is sprayed by spray nozzles toward the film on a side of a film surface not in contact with the cooling drum (hereinafter referred to as the anti-cooling drum-side surface), while the air near the film is sucked by an inter-nozzle exhaust mechanism simultaneously on the side of the anti-cooling drum-side surface, wherein suction faces of the inter-nozzle exhaust mechanism are installed at positions recessed from tip faces of the spray nozzles in a direction farther away from the film,
- wherein the inter-nozzle exhaust mechanism is perfectly separated from the spray nozzles and installed behind rear faces of the spray nozzles, and through openings are formed between the respective spray nozzles, and
- wherein the distance between the tip faces of the spray nozzles and the surface of the thermoplastic resin film is 5 to 30 mm.
