What a blown film machine costs in 2026
Blown film lines are priced by film width, layer count and cooling technology. The indicative factory-direct ranges below cover E-SHION's current lines and are starting points for a configuration quote.
- Mini blown film lines — roughly $12,000–$28,000
- Monolayer lines — roughly $18,000–$45,000
- ABA / 3-layer co-extrusion lines — roughly $35,000–$90,000
- 3-layer lines with internal bubble cooling (IBC) — roughly $60,000–$150,000
- Air bubble film lines — roughly $25,000–$65,000
Ranges are indicative for new machines with standard configuration, excluding customs duties and installation travel.
What drives the price
- Folded film width — from 500 mm mini lines to 2600 mm industrial lines.
- Number of layers — monolayer, ABA or full 3-layer co-extrusion with different resins.
- Cooling technology — IBC internal cooling raises output and thickness consistency and adds cost.
- Automation — automatic air rings, ultrasonic bubble control, PLC and touchscreen.
- Tower height and output — higher towers and 500 kg/h output change the whole line.
- Certification, voltage and shipping — CE/EAC, 220V/60Hz or 380V/50Hz, FOB/CIF/door-to-door.
Mini line or production line?
A mini blown film machine suits startups, laboratories and small shops. A monolayer line or ABA 3-layer line makes sense once daily film demand justifies continuous production. For high output with tight thickness tolerance, a 3-layer IBC line is the standard choice.
How to get an exact quotation

Frequently asked questions
Why do IBC machines cost more?
IBC adds internal cooling fans, ultrasonic sensors and control loops that increase output by 30–50% and improve thickness uniformity — the payback comes from higher production per shift.
Can a line be built for 220V/60Hz?
Yes, machines are adapted for 220V/60Hz, 380V/50Hz or custom voltage and frequency at the factory.
What is included in the price?
The line, CE documentation, standard spare parts, testing before shipment, and installation and operator training on request.
What is the typical lead time?
20–40 days depending on the line, plus shipping time to your port.
