Blown film extrusion line

Macchi E18

GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The Macchi 3-Layers E18 is a high-capacity blown film co-extrusion line designed for the production of general-purpose films where high film width and output rates are required. It processes LLDPE, LDPE, mLLDPE, MDPE, HDPE, and, in its upgraded configuration, also PP. This system features a 700 mm three-layer die head and achieves an output capacity of up to 900 kg/hour, depending on the formulation.
