Extrusion360 serves this industry by providing complete consulting and machinery solutions for film producers. We deliver end-to-end support – from selecting high-performance extruders and dies to integrating downstream components like cooling rolls, haul-offs, and winders – all tailored for plastic film production. Our expertise covers blown film, cast film, and stretch film extrusion lines, including advanced multilayer co-extrusion systems and turnkey installation services. We work with all major polymers (LDPE, LLDPE, PP, PET, PLA, and more) to ensure clients can produce quality films in any application. In this section, we outline how Extrusion360’s industry-focused solutions empower your plastic film extrusion operations with clarity, authority, and reliability.
Blown film extrusion is one of the most widely used methods for producing plastic films. In a blown film line, molten polymer is extruded through a circular die to form a tube, which is inflated into a bubble and cooled before being flattened into film. Extrusion360 offers versatile blown film lines designed for consistent quality and efficiency. Our solutions range from simple mono-layer extruders to complex multi-extruder setups for barrier packaging. Blown film lines excel in creating strong, balanced films. The biaxial orientation from the bubble process gives excellent moisture and gas barrier properties and high tensile strength, allowing even thin films to perform reliably. These lines are ideal for a variety of products, from general packaging and shopping bags to agricultural films. Extrusion360 can configure blown film systems for multiple layers to combine different materials for optimal toughness and barrier performance. We ensure each blown film line includes advanced components such as efficient air rings, internal bubble cooling, precise thickness control, and automated winding, all geared toward maximizing output and film quality.
Extrusion360 also specializes in cast film extrusion lines for applications where flat film or sheet with superior clarity is needed. In cast film extrusion, molten plastic is pushed through a flat die and rapidly cooled on a chilled roller, yielding a smooth film with excellent optical properties. Cast film lines provide films with outstanding clarity, gloss, and very uniform thickness. These systems are often chosen for high-clarity packaging, labeling films, and specialty applications like protective films. We supply turnkey cast film extrusion lines including high-precision extruders, automatic flat dies, temperature-controlled chill rolls, edge trim systems, and high-speed winders. Cast lines from Extrusion360 can be configured for CPP films, CPE films, multi-layer barrier films, and more. Our cast film equipment emphasizes consistency and throughput – ensuring consistent film quality across the web width and accommodating wide formats for maximum production. With options like modular feeding blocks for co-extrusion and advanced thickness monitoring, our cast film solutions allow manufacturers to achieve top-quality film at high speeds while maintaining tight tolerances.
For clients producing stretch film such as pallet wrap and industrial cling films, Extrusion360 offers specialized stretch film extrusion equipment. These are typically high-output cast film lines optimized for LLDPE and other stretchable polyolefins. Stretch film lines emphasize exceptional film strength, stretchability, and consistency to handle the demands of pallet wrapping and load stability. Extrusion360’s stretch film solutions feature multi-layer co-extrusion to impart cling, puncture resistance, and elastic recovery in the film. We integrate oscillating haul-offs, automatic thickness control, and turret winders to produce stretch film rolls efficiently. Modern stretch film equipment is built for speed and throughput. Our systems incorporate advanced cooling and winding technology to handle these speeds, ensuring the film’s uniformity and roll quality. Whether you need hand-wrap rolls or jumbo machine rolls, Extrusion360 provides the machinery and process know-how to manufacture stretch films with superior clarity, consistent cling, and high stretch ratios. We also offer in-line edge trim recycling and automated roll handling to minimize waste and labor in stretch film production.
Today’s plastic film products often require multiple layers to achieve the desired performance. Extrusion360’s machinery fully supports multilayer co-extrusion, enabling 3, 5, 7, up to 9 or more layer film structures. In co-extrusion, several extruders feed different polymers into a single die, creating a layered film in one pass. The advantage of multilayer extrusion is enhanced film performance. By combining materials, manufacturers can improve barrier properties, sealability, and mechanical strength of the film beyond what a single material could provide. For instance, a 5-layer food packaging film might include a core barrier layer for oxygen resistance, sandwiched between polyolefin layers for strength and heat-sealing. Our co-extrusion lines feature sophisticated feedblocks and dies to maintain precise layer thickness ratios and uniform distribution across the film width. Extrusion360 ensures that even with many layers, the film extrusion process remains stable and efficient. We also provide gravimetric dosing systems for accurate blending and layer ratio control. The result is high-performance films. If your operation needs to produce complex multilayer films, our team can deliver a turnkey co-extrusion system engineered to meet those requirements. Extrusion360’s multilayer extrusion technology empowers you to create innovative film products with confidence in their quality and consistency.
Our plastic film extrusion solutions are compatible with all major film materials, giving you the flexibility to produce films for any application. Extrusion360 provides expertise in processing a wide range of polymers, including:
LDPE: A workhorse resin for flexible films, valued for its excellent flexibility, clarity, and sealability. LDPE films are widely used in food packaging, retail bags, and general-purpose films. This material produces soft, impact-resistant films that easily conform and seal, making it ideal for everyday packaging needs.
LLDPE: A polyethylene variant known for higher tensile strength and puncture resistance. LLDPE is commonly used in stretch films, agricultural films, and other flexible packaging that demand greater toughness. It offers a balance of strength and flexibility, which is why it’s the primary choice for stretch wrap and heavy-duty liners.
PP: Often used for films requiring higher stiffness or heat resistance. Polypropylene exhibits excellent heat resistance and chemical inertness, making it suitable for cast films in high-temperature packaging or as a layer in co-extruded structures for its strength. PP films have good clarity and are frequently used in snack food packaging and lamination films.
PET: A polyester resin known for its high strength, transparency, and natural barrier properties. PET is used in specialty film applications – for example, as base film for imaging, or oriented into BOPET films for extremely high tensile strength and dimensional stability. In extrusion, PET can be cast into thick films or sheets to create packaging with excellent oxygen and moisture barrier and temperature resistance.
PLA: A biodegradable, compostable polymer used for sustainable film products. PLA films offer surprisingly high clarity and decent barrier properties for an eco-friendly material. They are derived from renewable resources and are ideal for environmentally conscious packaging, such as compostable food wrap or biodegradable agricultural mulch film. Extrusion360 supports PLA processing on our lines, including managing its lower melt temperature and ensuring the process yields stable, high-quality film.
In addition to the above, our systems can handle HDPE, EVA, EVOH, PA and numerous other polymers or additives often used in multilayer films. Whether you’re running a pure polyolefin film or a complex multi-resin structure, we configure the extruder screws, die design, and process settings to suit each material’s characteristics.
