According to Statista's 2023 Global Plastic Packaging Market Report, the global plastic packaging market will exceed $350 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at an average annual rate of 4% over the next five years. At the same time, increasingly stringent environmental policies are becoming a key driving force behind changes in the packaging industry. The EU's Single-Use Plastics Directive explicitly mandates the gradual phase-out of single-use plastics and encourages the use of biodegradable and recyclable materials. China's 14th Five-Year Plan for Plastic Pollution Control also proposes a more effective plastic pollution control mechanism and a multi-faceted governance system by 2025. These policies are accelerating the upgrading of packaging equipment towards higher efficiency, energy conservation, and multifunctionality to meet the production needs of green packaging.

Technical Pain Points
Traditional film blowing machines have gradually exposed numerous problems over their long-term development. Poor film uniformity is a common problem in film quality. Large thickness variations lead to stress concentration during subsequent processing and use, affecting the sealing and strength of packaging products. High energy consumption is also a major drawback of traditional equipment. This not only increases production costs but also runs counter to current energy conservation and emission reduction priorities. Furthermore, the limited functionality of traditional film blowing machines makes it difficult to meet the diverse demands of high-end packaging, such as the stringent light and moisture-proof requirements for pharmaceutical packaging and the high transparency and aesthetics required for cosmetic packaging.

Innovation Significance
The dual-layer co-extrusion rotary die film blowing unit has emerged as a result. By integrating multiple core technologies, it achieves a qualitative leap in performance and effective cost optimization. This equipment can produce higher-quality, more functional film products while reducing energy consumption and production cycle time, making it a key component in the transformation and upgrading of the packaging industry and giving companies an edge in the fierce market competition.

II. Core Technology Analysis: Five Key Innovations Driving the Upgrade
1. 360° Precise Temperature Control of the Rotary Die: Breaking Industry Records in Film Uniformity
Technical Principle
The spiral mandrel die design is the core highlight of this technology. The molten material rotates 360° within the die for uniform distribution, and coupled with a high-precision temperature control system, the temperature is controlled within an accuracy of ±1°C. This design ensures stable molten material flow during extrusion, resulting in more uniform film thickness.

Data Support
A company laboratory test report (internal data, 2024) shows that film produced using this technology has a thickness deviation of only ±0.005mm, far below the industry average of ±0.01mm. Furthermore, the film's finish is improved by 30%, resulting in a smoother and flatter surface, reducing leakage and breakage caused by film defects.

Application Scenarios
High-end liquid food packaging, such as Tetra Brik and stand-up pouches, places extremely high demands on film uniformity and sealing. This technology effectively meets these requirements, ensuring food safety and quality stability during transportation and storage. For example, after adopting this equipment, a dairy company has significantly reduced its product packaging breakage rate and consumer complaints.

2. Dual-Layer Co-Extrusion Composite Process: One Machine with Multiple Functions Meets All Packaging Needs
Technical Principle
The independent feeding of two main machines is the foundation of the dual-layer co-extrusion composite process. This process supports the lamination of LDPE (inner barrier layer) and LLDPE (outer strength layer), and functional materials such as EVA (flexibility) and PA (high barrier) can be added as needed. By precisely controlling the extrusion ratio of each layer and the lamination process, films with diverse properties can be produced.

Data Support
SGS testing reports show that films produced using the two-layer co-extrusion process exhibit excellent barrier properties and tensile strength. Compared to single-layer production, which requires two passes to achieve a similar multi-layer effect, production efficiency is increased by 40%. Material costs are also reduced by 25%, primarily due to reduced scrap waste and optimized material usage.

Application Scenarios
In pharmaceutical packaging, films produced using this process offer excellent light- and moisture-proof properties, effectively protecting the quality and efficacy of drugs. In cosmetic packaging, the highly transparent films enhance the product's appearance and appeal. In industrial film applications, the puncture- and aging-resistant films meet various industrial packaging needs.
