One of the world's largest manufacturers of blown film extrusion lines is the result of a merger in 2009 between Reifenhäuser GmbH and Kiefel Extrusion GmbH based in Troisdorf and Worms, both specialists in this field with many years of experience in the industry.

The Reifenhäuser Blown Film Division is part of the REIFENHÄUSER Holding Company, which is managed by the family of the same name and is the world market leader in blown film extrusion with more than 7000 installed lines and the largest Research and Development centre in the world market.

It offers the widest range of technology for blown film extrusion, both in extruders (mainly manufactured by another division of the Holding called Reiloy / Extrusion Systems, heads, cooling equipment (single ring, high lift, Reverse, ECP, etc.), guiding and collection systems, as well as a wide range of winders and stretching technology to improve the flatness of ULTRA STRETCH and MDO ULTRASTRETCH film with stretching ratios of up to 1000%.

All this allows us to adapt perfectly to the customer's requirements both in quality and productivity for absolutely all types of applications. Another highlight and differentiating feature is the fact that all system components are manufactured in-house, which is a fundamental part of the Reifenhäuser philosophy.

Its product range goes from the single-layer extruder to 12-layer machines for products as diverse as HDPE or LDPE film or complexes formed by LD/LLDPE/mLLDPE/PP/EVA/PET/PA/EVOH, etc.

The range covered by Reifenhäuser Blown Film goes from:

• Extruders from 40 to 120mm of diameter
• Die heads from 3 up to 12 layers

• All kinds of cooling rings, conventional and high performance as the ULTRA COOL
• All possibilities of measuring and controlling the film thickness
• Oscillating haul-off from 1000 to 4300mm
• Winders from 1000 mm to 4300 mm of useful width that cover from the most basic needs to the most sophisticated ones
• ULTRAFLAT flattening systems to improve the flatness of the film. The latest quality standard in blown film that improves ostensibly its further processing.
• ULTRASTRETCH - MDO`s for in-line and off-line applications with interesting applications to improve the recyclability of packaging films

As well as a lot of additional equipment to adapt to the market needs in blown film.

The final applications are as varied as:

• Laminating films
• Food packaging films with barrier effect in up to 12 layers
• Industrial packaging films such as stretch, shrink and stretch hoods, etc.
• Films for the manufacture of bags, sleeves or similar
• Large dimension films for agricultural applications such as mulching, greenhouses, or geomembranes and bulk liners
• Agricultural stretch film silage agristretch for grass bale packaging
