3 layers extrusion line

Macchi 3100 mm

The Macchi 3-Layers is a high-capacity blown film co-extrusion line intended for production of general-purpose films with high width and output demands.It processes LLDPE, LDPE, mLLDPE, MDPE, HDPE, and in upgrade configuration also PP.The system uses a 700 mm 3-layer die head and reaches an output capacity of up to 900 kg/hour, depending on formulation.
