Bubble film needs three dedicated extrusion units — here is what the line contains.

Bubble Film / Air Bubble Film Machine Guide

How bubble film is made

The manufacturing process for a 3-layer air bubble machine involves creating a multi-layered film structure. For specific technical details regarding the raw material melting temperatures, the exact bubble forming mechanics, and the cooling process parameters, confirm with our engineers. The primary function of this machine is to produce a 3-layer film designed specifically for protective cushioning. For details on the specific types of plastic resins used, the required drying times for the materials, or the exact hopper capacities, confirm with our engineers.

The three extrusion units

The core of the production line relies on three specialized extrusion units. The bubble unit is equipped with a 105 mm screw and operates at 55 kW. The base unit utilizes a 95 mm screw powered by a 45 kW motor. Finally, the coating unit features a 90 mm screw and requires 37 kW. For information regarding the specific L/D ratios of these screws, the barrel heating zones, the exact screw materials, or the specific gearbox ratios for each unit, confirm with our engineers.

Width, winding and power

This machine achieves a maximum finished width of 3000 mm. The maximum winding diameter is 1300 mm. The extrusion uniformity is maintained at ±5%. The total power of the entire production line is 190 kW. Because of this power draw, you must confirm voltage and site power before ordering. For details regarding the specific winding tension control mechanisms, the exact dimensions of the main frame, the cooling water requirements for the machine, or the specific automation levels of the control panel, confirm with our engineers.

Applications

The resulting 3-layer bubble film is used for protective cushioning. It is applied in furniture packaging to protect items during transit. It is also used in electronics packaging to protect sensitive devices from impact. Additionally, it is utilized in e-commerce packaging for shipping goods safely. For specific details on the puncture resistance of the film, the exact load-bearing capacity, the specific industry certifications for the finished bubble film, or the expected lifespan of the packaging, confirm with our engineers.
