How Stretch Film Machines Produce Different Width Products

As an experienced manufacturer of multi-layer stretch film machines, we understand that customers have different requirements for product width. Let us explain the technology behind adjusting film width.

Production output scales exponentially with machine width. A compact 1.0m machine delivers 100–120 kg/h, perfect for agile manual-use roll production with quick changeovers. The 1.5m industry workhorse jumps to 320 kg/h, marking the threshold for true volume production. The real leap comes with the 2.0m high-speed industrial model: by integrating a wide-format T-die with massive extrusion capacity, it achieves 350 kg/h. This isn't mere width expansion—it's throughput embedded in every meter of width.

Energy investment matches capability. While the 1.0m unit operates efficiently at 60–90 kW, the 2.0m machines demand over 300 kW. This powers critical components: multi-zone heated T-dies for flawless melt distribution across the web, and high-torque motors driving larger screws and massive cooling rollers consistently. Every kilowatt is channeled to ensure consistent gauge and superior film clarity, even at maximum speed.

Physical dimensions reflect engineered stability. A 1.0m production line fits compact 6m spaces, ideal for limited facilities. The 2.0m line extends beyond 12m, housing a heavyweight frame designed for rock-solid stability.
