Single-Inlet Air Ring
Easy to maintain an operate, it’s integrated in the blown film line through just one cooling air supply line.
The CRX Series of single-inlet air rings from Hosokawa Alpine are said to offer exceptional bubble stability and rate. A lower pressure drop is designed for maximum output. The series is billed as easy to maintain and operate and is integrated in the system through just one cooling air supply line.

Compatible with existing Alpine cooling inserts, the CRX can be furnished with optional monomer suction between cooling ring and die head.
Alpine introduced the air ring at K 2022 in Dusseldorf.
