Single Screw for Film Extrusion

Film lives or dies on melt homogeneity. A mixing head breaks up unmolten gel particles and evens out temperature before the melt reaches the die, which is what stops gels and gauge bands showing up in the finished roll.

We specify the mixing section for your polymer — a gentle dispersive design for LDPE, something more distributive for LLDPE blends and metallocene grades.

Common Questions

Questions Buyers Ask About This Product

Will this remove gels?

A correct mixing section removes most unmolten material. Persistent gels usually point to die build-up or a temperature profile issue, and we will say so rather than sell you a screw.

Can you match my current output?

Yes — send the resin, output and current screw drawing and we match or improve it.

Nitrided or bimetallic for film?

Nitrided for virgin PE/PP. Bimetallic only if you run heavy CaCO3 or recycle content.
