High Speed ABA Vertical Rotary Blown Film Machine vs Vertical Rotary Film Blowing Machine

Two machine choices for different production plans

The High Speed ABA Vertical Rotary Blown Film Machine is the stronger fit when your line must process HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE, CaCO3, or recycled inputs and you want an output range up to 160 kg/h. The High Speed Vertical Rotary Film Blowing Machine suits HDPE and LDPE production with a film-width range reaching 1200 mm and output up to 120 kg/h.

Both machines use vertical rotary traction, force feeding, a 32:1 L/D ratio, automatic roll discharge, and a leak-proof rotary design. The purchase decision comes down to material coverage, maximum output, width configuration, and the hardware selected for the target film.

Shared film specifications, with different operating ranges

The two machines share the same HDPE thickness range of 0.008-0.08 mm and the same LDPE thickness range of 0.02-0.15 mm. This gives a common starting point for buyers making either HDPE or LDPE bags within those ranges.

The ABA machine adds LLDPE, CaCO3, and recycled material to its raw-material range. Its film width is 200-1000 mm, with customization available. The vertical rotary machine has a 200-1200 mm film-width range, model dependent, and its materials are HDPE and LDPE.

Picture the choice around your product schedule. A plant changing between HDPE, LDPE, and recycled blends has a broader material brief to match against the ABA configuration. A plant making HDPE or LDPE film and requiring a width above 1000 mm should compare its target width with the vertical rotary machine's model range before ordering.

Output, screw, and motor selection

The ABA machine is rated at 25-160 kg/h, while the vertical rotary machine is rated at 25-120 kg/h. The ranges overlap at the lower end, so a production plan near 25 kg/h does not by itself separate the two options. The upper target does: a requirement above 120 kg/h falls within the ABA machine's range and outside the vertical rotary machine's stated range.

The ABA model range is 45/45-900 to 50/50-1200, with twin screw diameters of Φ45/45 or Φ50/50. Its main motor range is 15-18.5 kW. The vertical rotary machine has Φ45, Φ50, or Φ55 mm screws and 15, 18.5, or 22 kW main motor options. Both use force feeding and a 32:1 L/D ratio.

Send the intended material, film width, thickness, and hourly output together when you request a configuration. Those four items connect the product requirement to the available screw, motor, and model range more reliably than the machine name alone.

Die and gearbox differences

The ABA machine has die diameters from Φ80/150 mm to Φ100/250 mm and gearbox options 146#2 or 173#2. The vertical rotary machine has a Φ60-Φ250 mm die range and gearbox models 146#, 173#, or 180#.

These ranges give you different configuration points to review. A buyer comparing a specific die diameter should match the required diameter to the selected machine model, then confirm the associated gearbox and motor combination. For a planned film width of 1200 mm, the vertical rotary machine's width range reaches that figure, while the ABA machine gives a 200-1000 mm range with customization available.

Interfaces and maintenance in daily production

Both machines use automatic roll discharge and vertical rotary traction. That combination affects the handoff at winding: picture the operator receiving a finished roll through the automatic discharge function instead of manually removing every roll. The ABA machine also has modular assembly, quick disassembly, and accessible components for cleaning. The vertical rotary machine has zoned heating management, variable-frequency extrusion adjustment, and multi-zone thermal monitoring.

The maintenance emphasis differs between the two configurations. The ABA machine has modular access for routine cleaning and reconfiguration. The vertical rotary machine has a 38CrMoAlA nitrided steel screw, zoned heating coils, and automatic roll discharge. If your maintenance plan centers on rapid access and cleaning, review the ABA layout. If screw material and zoned temperature control are part of your equipment checklist, include the vertical rotary configuration in the quotation discussion.

Questions to settle before choosing

Choose the configuration that matches the run plan

Choose the ABA machine when your schedule includes LLDPE, CaCO3, or recycled material, or when the required output may reach 160 kg/h. Choose the vertical rotary machine when HDPE or LDPE film up to a 1200 mm width is the target. Send us the material list, film width, thickness, output, and preferred die diameter for a quotation.
