Product Description
The High Speed Single Screw PP Lollipop Stick Tube Drinking Straw Making Extruder is a dedicated small-bore tube extrusion line: one single screw extruder platform that produces lollipop sticks, drinking straws, cotton swab sticks, pen refill tubes and similar thin-wall PP tubing by changing the downstream structure and the extruding dies.
The problem it solves is the classic thin-tube bottleneck. Thin-wall, small-diameter tube is unforgiving: screw speed must be high enough to be economic, yet stable enough that wall thickness does not wander, and the plasticizing must be complete or the tube shows unmelted specks. This machine is built around those constraints — a high speed, high output single screw extruder with a perfect plasticizing effect, running one structure that can be re-tooled for several different products instead of several dedicated machines.
Key positioning points:
Multi function for multi application — one machine, several end products, several market segments
High speed and high output — the line is designed for volume production of small tube, not sampling
Perfect plasticizing effect — consistent melt quality for thin walls and clean surfaces
Two cavities option — the machine can be designed to make two sticks at one time, doubling output per cycle without a second line
Colour flexibility — single color, double color and multi-color options are available on the same platform
Model selection follows the product diameter you sell. Screw diameters of ø50, ø55 and ø65 with a 28:1 L/D cover the single-color range, while the two-color and three-color versions add a small co-extrusion screw for the stripe.
| Model | Screw Dia (mm) | L/D | Main motor power (kW) | Product size range (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single color | ø50 | 28:1 | 7.5 | 1-10 mm |
| Single color | ø55 | 28:1 | 11 | 2-15 mm |
| Single color | ø65 | 28:1 | 15 | 3-20 mm |
| Model | Screw Dia (mm) | L/D | Main motor power (kW) | Product size range (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Two color | ø55; ø25 | 28:1 | 7.5; 1.5 | 3-15 mm |
| Three color | ø55; ø25 × 2 | 28:1 | 11; 1.5 | 3-15 mm |
How to read the table when choosing:
Producing straws or thin cotton swab sticks in the 1-10 mm band → the ø50 single-color model with 7.5 kW main motor.
Producing lollipop sticks and standard straws in the 2-15 mm band → the ø55 model with 11 kW main motor.
Producing larger lollipop sticks and pen refill tubes up to 20 mm → the ø65 model with 15 kW main motor.
Producing striped straws or striped sticks where the stripe color must be visible → the two-color version (ø55 main screw plus a ø25 stripe screw, 7.5 kW + 1.5 kW).
Producing double-stripe or three-color products → the three-color version (ø55 main screw plus 2 × ø25 stripe screws, 11 kW + 1.5 kW).
All models share the same 28:1 L/D, so the plasticizing profile is comparable across the range and only the output scale changes. If your product plan is still open, the extruder range page gives the wider single screw and twin screw picture.
The extruder is the heart, but the finished stick quality depends on the units after it: the extruding die that sets the bore and wall, the vacuum sizing and cooling tank, the haul-off that holds the tube round, and the cutter. Because these are shared across the pipe and tube family, Chenxing configures them from the standard modules described under the pipe extrusion line and pipe extrusion line solution pages.
The machine is used to produce lollipop stick, drink straw, cotton swab stick, pen refill tube and similar products by changing different structure and extruding dies. Applied material is PP and similar polyolefins.
| End product | Typical use | Why this line fits |
|---|---|---|
| Lollipop stick | Confectionery production, food-grade stick supply | Straight, round, dimensionally stable stick at high output |
| Drinking straw | Beverage service, catering and retail packing | Thin wall, clean bore, single or striped color |
| Cotton swab stick | Medical and personal care consumables | Small diameter 1-10 mm range with strict tolerance |
| Pen refill tube | Stationery manufacturing | Larger diameter up to 20 mm with smooth inner bore |
| Other thin-wall PP tube | Packaging, industrial small tubing | Re-tool with different die and downstream structure |
Working conditions are the same as any extrusion workshop: a flat floor with the line length allocated, stable three-phase power, cooling water, and sufficient granule storage. The line runs continuously, so plant layout and material logistics matter more than any special environment requirement. For plant planning support and related equipment, see the application cases and solutions pages.
Understanding the customization boundary saves both sides time before an order is placed.
End product type — lollipop stick, drinking straw, cotton swab stick, pen refill tube and other thin-wall tube, by changing different structure and extruding dies
Color configuration — single color, double color and multi-color options, using the ø25 stripe screw arrangements shown in the parameter table
Cavity arrangement — the machine can be designed to make two sticks at one time (two cavities output)
Die and downstream tooling — tooling set to your product diameter, wall thickness and cut length
Line layout — arrangement adapted to your available floor space
Plant planning — technical support such as plant planning according to your requirements
Mechanical design — our experienced mechanical designer provides customized-design for very special requests on the production line
The extruder frame and screw series — the model is chosen from the ø50 ø55 ø65 range; a diameter outside the table means a different platform rather than a modification of this one
The 28:1 L/D — common to all models in this line
The product size range per model — ø50 covers 1-10 mm, ø55 covers 2-15 mm, ø65 covers 3-20 mm; tubes outside the range of the selected model belong to another extruder size
Material scope — the line is set up for PP and comparable polyolefins; other polymers need a re-check before quotation
Related forming equipment for other profiles and tube families is described under the profile extrusion line and Profile Extrusion Line Solution pages, and laboratory-scale trials can be run on the SJ 25/25 laboratory mini single screw extruder or the SJ 30/28 laboratory co-extrusion single screw extruder.
Quality control covers the machine build and the run-in before shipment.
An experienced R&D team ensures the feasibility of the product before it is put into production
Quality inspectors inspect raw materials before production begins
Patrol inspection is carried out during production, not only at the end
Re-inspection before delivery — each machine is checked again before it leaves the works
Screw, barrel and die are produced in-house, so the critical geometry is under our own control rather than a subcontractor's

What you get back: a written quotation naming the recommended model (ø50 ø55 ø65 single, two color or three color) with main motor power, the die and downstream configuration, delivery time under the current season, Incoterm, port and packing details — normally within 24 hours once the product information is complete.
It produces lollipop stick, drink straw, cotton swab stick, pen refill tube and similar thin-wall PP tube by changing different structure and extruding dies. Applied material is PP and comparable polyolefins.
Size drives the choice. The ø50 model covers 1-10 mm products such as straws and small cotton swab sticks; ø55 covers 2-15 mm; ø65 covers 3-20 mm for larger sticks and pen refill tubes. Main motor power is 7.5 kW, 11 kW and 15 kW respectively.
Yes. The two-color model uses a ø55 main screw with a ø25 stripe screw (7.5 kW + 1.5 kW) for 3-15 mm products, and the three-color model uses a ø55 main screw with 2 × ø25 stripe screws (11 kW + 1.5 kW) for the same 3-15 mm range.
