Instability Phenomena in Film Casting Process

P. Barq
Abstract
This paper deals with instability phenomena in PET film casting. An experimental investigation makes it possible to confirm the occurrence of draw-resonance above a critical draw ratio, and to show interesting coupling effects between thickness and width fluctuations. A theoretical model is developed on the basis of some important assumptions: constant width, vertical film, isothermal regime and Newtonian behavior. It allows to calculate the response to a sudden increase of the chill roll velocity and to predict the critical draw ratio (DR = 20.3). Other types of perturbations of the roll velocity (sinusoidal oscillation, random fluctuations) are also treated using this model.
