How to Save Costs while Increasing Production Yield for Narrow-width Films and Bags
How to Save Costs while Increasing Production Yield for Narrow-width Films and Bags
Producing narrow-width film and bags may be challenging in terms of profitability. You need to reach a certain production capacity to surpass the break-even point to make a profit, where you should control several costs, time, labor, and factory space.
It might sound challenging, but we have some good news for you. POLYSTAR provides several effective solutions to overcome this challenge.
Let's find out which solutions below fit you better!
1. Using A Mini Blown Film Machine for Narrow-Width Film and Bags
Small HDPE and LDPE films and bags can be produced with a small, simple yet efficient blown film extruder without compromising on film quality.
Producers can install several sets of this lower-cost and lower energy-consuming machine to produce different sizes of narrow-width films and bags, and/or different colors of films and bags at the same time.
2. Twin-Head Blown Film Machine for Different-Width Tube Films at the Same Time
The double-die head extruders (1 extruder, 2 die heads) can achieve higher production capacity for small-width film rolls. High extrusion output is dispersed into two separate channels of the die heads instead of one.
This allows you to reach higher extrusion output when you produce small-width tube films. Moreover, you can achieve two different film widths at the same time.
3. One Blown Film Machine for Different-Width Film Sheets at the Same Time
When it comes to producing sheet films, flexibility for different widths while maintaining the yield is crucial. Producing wider plastic film sheets and slitting them into narrow sheets via cold slitting knives before winding is a clever strategy.
In this way, producers do not need to use a slitter rewinder after the production. Instead, they can just slit the films during the blown film extrusion process, maximize output and achieve a more flexible production range just by changing the position of cold slitting knives.
4. Using Recycled Plastic to Reduce Material Cost in Blown Film Production
Recycled plastic in blown film production helps you save material costs. The key is suitable machinery and equipment that allows you to make a consistent quality production while using recycled materials.
POLYSTAR achieves this especially with the optimal screw design that allows you to use recycled materials, CaCO3, and Bio material along with the virgin material.
