A manufacturing apparatus and manufacturing method are provided for manufacturing stably from a thermoplastic resin a resin film product having a small and uniform thickness and smooth surfaces, which has been impossible with a conventional tube extruding method or and blown film extrusion method. It comprises a heating extruder ( 1 ) for extruding a molten thermoplastic resin in a tubular form, and a core unit ( 2 ) opposed to an inner surface of said thermoplastic resin extruded in the tubular form, and molding said thermoplastic resin to a tubular resin film ( 20 ) while exuding a gas to said inner surface. A stabilizing device ( 4 ) is disposed between a nozzle ( 3 ) of said heating extruder ( 1 ) and said core unit ( 2 ) for stabilizing a shape of said thermoplastic resin extruded in the tubular form. |
