How to Choose a Film Blowing Machine Supplier Output Material Film Width

September 13, 2026


Which number should a buyer check first - kg/hr, film width, or price? Check three figures before deciding on a film blowing machine supplier. Check output in kg/hr. Check the materials through which the screw may run. Check maximum film width. Then be sure the vendor builds machines, not simply sells machines.


Zhejiang Ruian Yunfeng Machinery Factory is one builder that merits mention. In Ruian, Wenzhou, Zhejiang, China, since 2001, it has built plastic machinery. 20 years in the trade.

This guide includes information on output, materials, width, factory inspections, models, build parts, and payment conditions.

First output: Matching kg/hr to Daily Demand

First of all, you do your own thing. Weigh your film every day. Divide it by how many hours you work each day. A blown film extrusion machine rating of around 60 kg/hr would be required in a 10-hour-shift plant using 600 kg of film. Then add another 15%-20%. It’s a peak speed, not an average day-to-day pace, as the statistic indicates.

Published Output Ranges by Build Type

  • YF-FE HDPE LDPE single layer: 33–40 kg/hr on the FE600, up to 80–100 kg/hr on the FE1500

  • YF-FEH high speed: 45–60 kg/hr on the FEH600, up to 90–100 kg/hr on the FEH1200

  • YF-FE3L ABC three layer: 110–180 kg/hr at 1200 mm, up to 280–380 kg/hr at 3000 mm


More output needs a bigger motor. Single-screw models use 11 kW to 30 kW. The FE3L3000 uses three 55 kW motors. The frame gets heavier too. It goes from 2,000 kg at 600 mm to 20,000 kg at 3,000 mm. Ask for output per model. Never take one number for a whole catalogue.

Material Range Decides Your Screw Design

Every film blowing table from Yunfeng lists HDPE, LDPE, and LLDPE. That covers most bag, liner, and packaging film work. One HDPE LDPE film blowing machine can run all three grades. They melt at close to the same heat.

Where Biodegradable Film Sits

Compostable film runs on its own model. The YF-FEJ is a biodegradable film blowing machine. It comes with a rotogravure printing machine. Its listed uses are fully degradable gloves, roll bags, flat shopping bags and garbage bags. The company says its focus is on biodegradable and PE material equipment. That is a narrower focus than most catalogues claim.

Why Screw L/D Ratio Matters

Screw L/D ratio is the screw length divided by the screw width. A longer screw gives the melt more time to mix.


  • 28:1 L/D on the listed single-screw spec tables

  • 30:1 L/D on the FE3L three-layer tables

  • 30:1 or 32:1 double alloy screws with vacuum heat treatment as the upgrade

  • PP film runs on its own model, the YF-PP, not on the PE lines

Film Width, Die Size, and Roller Width

Film width comes first. Die size and roller width follow it. Many buyers pick the width late. Then they learn the die head has to change to match. A plastic film extruder bought at the wrong width cannot be made wider later. New parts are needed.

Width Ladder Across Four Model Families

Model family

Max film width

Die size

Roller width

YF-FE single layer

600–1500 mm

Φ50–Φ250

700–1600 mm

YF-FE ABA

600–1200 mm

Φ50–Φ150

700–1300 mm

YF-FEH high speed

600–1200 mm

Φ50–Φ100

700–1300 mm

YF-FE3L ABC

1200–3000 mm

Φ300–Φ700

1300–3200 mm


Film thickness is not the same on every table. Keep the two figures apart. The YF-FE, YF-FEH, YF-FEJ and YF-FE3L tables list 0.08–0.2 mm. The YF-FE ABA table lists 0.08–0.1 mm.


Every table lists 380V / 50Hz power. Buyers on 220V, 440V, or 60Hz grids should raise this early. Ask before the order is signed.

Seven Questions Worth Sending First

  • Factory or trading company? Yunfeng answers plainly. It is a factory. It builds film extrusion machines, printing machines, bag making machines, and slitting machines.

  • Can I visit? The plant is in Ruian, Zhejiang. The nearest airport is Wenzhou. That is about one hour by air from Shanghai. Airport pickup is offered.

  • How big is the plant? A 10,000 m² base, with a yearly output value of 500 units.

  • How long have you built this? Started in 2001. More than 20 years in plastic machinery.

  • What do you own? More than 10 national patents.

  • Where do your machines run now? Products have gone to over 60 countries. These include the USA, Mexico, Canada, Spain, Russia, Singapore, Thailand and India.

  • Can I watch a test run? Testing is done with the buyer on site. Or it is filmed and sent as a video.


A seller who cannot answer the first one in a line is often a reseller.

Inside the Ruian Factory and Workshop

The current plant opened in 2019. The address is Zhixin Industrial Zone, No. 33 Tingchao Road, Shangwang Street, Ruian, Wenzhou, Zhejiang. Floor space is 10,000 m². The shop runs on 5S rules.

Factory Points a Buyer Can Check

  • Quality checks run from raw material buying to the finished machine.

  • An in-house R&D team works on the patents.

  • Honorary certificates are shown on the company Certification page.

  • The company joined the 36th China International Plastics and Rubber Industry Exhibition in 2024.


Ask for a live video walk of the workshop. Do not settle for photos. Photos get old. A walk shows machines being built, staff at work, and the bay where your line would sit.

Which Machine Type Fits Your Product?

Thirteen film blowing models are listed in total. Match the model to the film you sell. Do not pick the biggest number in the range.

Motors run on frequency conversion. This cuts power use. GE or Siemens motors are the upgrade choice. They carry a three-year warranty. Chint switches are fitted as standard. When you compare any blown film production line, ask for these part names in writing.

Payment, Testing, and After-Sales Terms

New purchasers' payment terms are straightforward. Before production begins, pay 30% T/T. Pay the remaining 70% on delivery. The machine warranty is one year.


To fix the equipment that year, engineers may fly out. The buyer pays for the flight, meals, and lodging. Reported phone or email support reaction time is 12 hours.


Prior to shipment, testing is done. You may attend if you bring your own material. Or you may request a test video. There is no lead time indicated on the site. Depending on the model and settings, it will vary. Any PE film blowing machine manufacturer asks to put it in writing in the quotation
