Retrofitting & equipment upgrade

Upgrade of extruders and co-extruders

Boost the production capacity of your existing extruders by 20-30% and improve thickness variation tolerances by 50-70%.

What is it?

What is an extruder and co-extruder upgrade?

The goal of upgrading a blown film extruder is to enhance or improve its performance and capabilites by incorporating new equipment and technology. Updates can be applied to both mono and co-extruders, as well as extruders designed for films with or without barriers.

Octagon boasts a track record of clients who have successfully upgraded their outdated extruders, resulting in a remarkable 20-30% increase in production capacity and an enhancement of 50-70% in thickness variation tolerances.
