Abstract

A blown-film system, for producing plastic tubing, in which the rate of flow of air, into or out of the tube, is made directly dependent upon the deviation in position of the tube wall and in which stability in tube size is achieved by providing a control system that feeds back both tube circumference and air valve position to drive a valve motor.
