Blown Film Screw Barrel (LDPE / HDPE)

Film gauge variation is mostly a melt-stability problem. Our blown film screws use a dedicated film profile — deep feed, gentle compression and a distributive mixing section — so the melt arrives at the die at a flat, cool temperature and the frost line stays put.

Supplied for mono-layer and multi-layer lines processing LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE and EVA, from mini film extruders to Ø120 heavy-duty lines. Tell us your resin blend and die size and we match the geometry.

Common Questions

Questions Buyers Ask About This Product

Our film gauge hunts — is it the screw?

Often, yes: a worn flight land or a badly designed mixing section pulses the melt. We can usually diagnose from your extruder model, resin and output readings — send them and we will tell you honestly whether the screw is the culprit.

Can one screw run both LLDPE and LDPE?

Within limits. A film screw tuned for LLDPE (higher shear tolerance) runs LDPE acceptably; tell us your main blend and we optimise for it.

Do you supply groove-feed for film?

Yes, for HDPE film on high-output lines; for LDPE/LLDPE smooth bore remains the standard.
