Introduction to Blown Film Extrusion
Part 1 of the course series: “Blown Film Extrusion”
Dr Magdalena Laabs
What does Part 1 of the course include?
-
Video and audio – Some modules include recordings and supporting materials that help you better understand the key aspects of blown film production and how the process develops.
-
E-books and PDF materials – The detailed content helps you organise your knowledge of the technology, the process and line operation, and also makes it easier to return to the most important topics after completing the course.
-
Troubleshooting guidance – Las Practical guidance helps you better understand the causes of faults, assess the situation on the line and respond more precisely to problems that arise during production.
-
Knowledge-check quizzes – Review questions help reinforce your knowledge, organise the most important information and prepare you more effectively for the next parts of the series.
Practical knowledge for operators and process technologists
This part of the course has been developed to make the entire process easier to understand and to help you transfer the knowledge you gain to your day-to-day work more quickly.
You will learn the logic of the process, the functions of the line’s most important components, and the relationships between settings, operational stability and film quality.
The materials help you organise your technological knowledge, interpret the phenomena that occur during production more accurately, and make decisions with greater confidence in practice.
It provides a solid foundation both for those who are just beginning to learn and for those who want to structure their production experience more effectively.
Mnemonics and effective learning of technical knowledge
The course uses mnemonics and principles from memory science to make technical knowledge easier to retain and to help you organise a larger amount of information.
This makes it easier to connect theory with practice, understand the relationships between process parameters more quickly, and remember the functions of the various line components.
This approach not only helps you complete the course, but above all enables you to apply the knowledge you have gained later in real blown film production work.
It also enables you to revisit the material more effectively, retain important information more securely, and learn in a more conscious and structured way.

Meet the Trainer
Dr Magdalena Laabs
For more than 20 years, Dr Magdalena Laabs has combined practical experience with theory, supporting companies in the plastics industry in improving production processes, optimising processes and reducing losses. She specialises in blown film extrusion technology, and her experience covers both the development of technological solutions and their practical implementation in production plants.
She is the founder of Rolbatch Academy and the creator of online courses and corporate training programmes based on real cases and experience gained through collaboration with industry. She is also the author of books and industry publications and regularly publishes specialist content and articles on LinkedIn about plastics processing and recycling. In addition, she is an expert certified by the Polish Association of Mechanical Engineers and Technicians (SIMP).
“My aim is to share knowledge and provide practical solutions for industry, without unnecessarily complex formulae, but with real examples from everyday production work.”
