Blown Film Machine

Blown Film Machine Manufacturer

Cygnet Machinery is the successful manufacturer and supplier of Blown Film Machinery in India which provides the world-standard solutions of plastic film extrusion to businesses in the packaging industry, agriculture, FMCG, and industrial industry. Blasted film extrusion equipment is based on the requirements of the modern industry with high productivity, power consumption, high film quality and ability to continue its work over a long period of time.

We offer custom-made solutions to your needs whether it is a small single-layer machine or a multi-layer high-output blown film line depending on your needs in production. Plastic films are created using a blown film machine to form the plastic material by extrusion and inflation. The machine heats plastic raw materials in form of granules, pushes it through a circular die and inflates it into a thin film bubble.

What is Blown Film Plant?

A Blown Film Plant is a type of plastic processing machinery used to manufacture thin, flexible plastic films that are widely used in packaging, agriculture, and industrial applications. It works on the principle of blown film extrusion, where plastic granules are melted, extruded through a circular die, inflated into a bubble, cooled, and then converted into rolls of film.

Blown Film Plant works by feeding plastic granules such as LDPE, LLDPE, or HDPE into an extruder, where they are melted through heat and screw rotation. The molten plastic is then pushed through a circular die to form a thin tube, which is inflated with air to create a film bubble. This bubble is cooled and stabilized using an air ring to achieve the desired thickness, clarity, and strength. It then passes through a collapsing frame, turning the bubble into a flat film sheet. Finally, the film is wound into rolls using a winder, making it ready for printing, cutting, and packaging applications.

Key components of a blown film plant include:

  • Extruder: Melts and feeds the polymer resin into the system.
  • Die head: Shapes the molten polymer into a thin film.
  • Air ring: Inflates the film bubble to control its size and thickness.
  • Cooling system: Cools the film to solidify it while maintaining its shape.
  • Winder: Rolls the finished film for storage or further processing.
 

Benefits of Blown Film Machine

  • Versatility: Blown film machines can produce films of various thicknesses, widths, and properties, catering to diverse applications such as packaging, agriculture, and industrial uses.
  • Enhanced Strength: The stretching process involved in blown film production results in films with superior mechanical properties, including high tensile strength and durability.
  • Excellent Barrier Properties: Multi-layer blown film plants can create films with enhanced barrier properties, protecting contents from moisture, oxygen, and other environmental factors, which is crucial for food packaging.
  • Cost-Efficiency: Blown film machines, particularly mono layer plants, offer a cost-effective solution for producing high-quality films, making them suitable for both small and large-scale operations.
  • Customization: The ability to adjust production parameters allows manufacturers to create customized films tailored to specific needs, ensuring optimal performance for each application.

Applications of Blown Film Machine

  • Packaging: Blown film is extensively used in the packaging industry for creating bags, wraps, and pouches.
  • Agricultural Films: Blown films are utilized in agriculture for greenhouse covers, mulch films, and silage bags. These films help in crop protection, soil moisture retention, and temperature regulation, promoting better growth and yield.
  • Industrial Applications: In industrial settings, blown films are used for stretch films, shrink films, and protective wraps.
  • Medical Packaging: Blown film machines produce films for medical packaging, such as sterile barrier pouches and wraps.
  • Construction: In the construction industry, blown films are used for vapor barriers, insulation, and protective covers.
  • Pharmaceuticals: Blown films are used in the pharmaceutical industry for packaging medicines, ensuring product safety and stability by providing moisture and light protection.
  • Retail: Retailers often use blown films for shopping bags and merchandise packaging.
