The PLA Straw Extrusion Line (also applicable for PP material) is an automated production line designed for manufacturing eco-friendly drinking straws, lollipop sticks, pen refill tubes, cotton swab sticks, and similar small cylindrical extruded products. By changing extrusion molds and configurations, the machine supports single-color, double-color, and multi-color production to meet different market requirements.
This production line adopts a high-speed screw extrusion system with excellent plasticizing performance, achieving stable output, consistent size tolerance, and smooth surface finish of the final products.
Wide range of applications
Suitable for PLA biodegradable straws, PP drinking straws, lollipop sticks, pen refill tubes, and industrial micro-tube extrusion.
Multiple color production options
Available in single color, double color, and three-color configurations depending on capacity and market needs.
High output & high precision extrusion
Screw with 28:1 L/D ratio ensures excellent melt plasticization and uniform extrusion stability.
Dual-cavity output optional
The machine can be configured to produce two sticks at the same time to increase production efficiency.
Flexible & customizable machine design
Models available from Ø50 to Ø65 and dual-screw combinations for double and triple color straws.
PLA (Polylactic Acid) – biodegradable & eco-friendly
PP (Polypropylene)
These materials ensure high production stability and meet international standards for food-contact products.
