Thin Wall Flat Dripper Drip Tape Production Line
A line dedicated to light gauge flat dripper tape, where material use per metre is minimised for single season crops.
RAL 5021 · semi-matt finishProduct introduction
How the Thin Wall Flat Dripper Drip Tape Production Line is engineered, and which sub-assemblies protect the performance your customers actually buy.
Thin wall tape uses less resin per metre than any other drip product, which makes it the lowest cost option for crops that only need the tape for one season. The wall can go down to 0.12 mm.
Running a very thin wall at high speed demands tight control of melt temperature, haul-off tension and cooling. The BENK MACHINE thin wall line addresses this with a dedicated screw geometry, a matched calibration sleeve and a servo haul-off that holds tension constant through the reel.

Technical advantages
Every sub-assembly below is selected to protect the performance your customers buy.
Lowest material cost per metre
A thinner wall directly reduces resin consumption, which is the largest single cost in drip tape.
Stable thin wall running
Screw geometry, cooling and servo haul-off are matched so the wall does not thin out or surge at speed.
Suited to seasonal crops
Cotton, potato and short cycle vegetables where the tape is retrieved or ploughed in after harvest.
Fast changeover
Emitter spacing and tape size are changed from the PLC recipe with quick change tooling.
Regrind friendly
The extruder accepts a high regrind ratio, which further reduces cost for single season products.
Turnkey delivery
Extrusion, insertion, punching, inspection and winding are supplied as one line.

Why buy from BENK MACHINE
Extrusion specialists, not traders
BENK MACHINE designs and builds extrusion and drip irrigation equipment in Zhangjiagang with an in-house R and D and process team, so machine selection is matched to your resin and product instead of a catalogue number.
Evidence before shipment
Every machine is assembled and run in our works. You receive trial video, gauge and output records, and are welcome to attend the factory acceptance test.
Total cost, not lowest price
Energy efficient drives, permanent magnet motors and optimised heating reduce kWh per tonne, which usually matters more over five years than the initial purchase price.
Real commissioning support
Our engineers install, commission, train your operators and stay involved until the machine hits the specified output and quality on your material.
Spares and response
Critical spares are stocked for fast dispatch, and the Siemens Ethernet control platform allows remote diagnosis before a service visit is needed.
Upgrades as you grow
Co-extrusion, gauge control, automation and downstream equipment can be added later, protecting your original investment.
