The Saturn Bubble Cage has become increasingly popular in blown film operations around the world. Originally designed for use with IBC systems for size control, they have been found to have advantages in non-IBC applications for controlling bubble stability and layflat width uniformity. One such advantage is allowing frost line heights up to 30% higher than normal, while keeping the bubble in control
