In Latin America’s rapidly evolving industrial landscape, the pressure is on. Rising electricity prices, labor shortages, and the urgent push for sustainability are reshaping how packaging manufacturers operate. Across countries like Mexico, Colombia, and Peru, production managers are looking for smarter, more energy-efficient machinery that doesn’t just meet demand—but also future-proofs their operations.
This is where Kung Hsing Plastics Machinery, a trusted name in extrusion technology from Taiwan, enters the story.
With over five decades of experience and an unwavering commitment to innovation, Kung Hsing has designed a 5-layer co-extrusion high-speed blown film line that responds directly to the needs of Latin American manufacturers. It’s not just a machine—it’s a total solution that brings together output, energy savings, and automation into one compact, powerful system.
Raising the Bar for Output—Without Raising Power Consumption
For many packaging plants in the region, boosting output has traditionally meant increasing manpower or sacrificing energy efficiency. Kung Hsing offers a better way. Its 5-layer blown film line features a 300 mm die head and can produce up to 600 kg of film per hour—almost double the output of typical machines.
What makes this achievement even more impressive is that it does so at a lower energy cost. Most machines consume around 0.5 kWh per kilogram of film. Kung Hsing’s solution? Just 0.37 kWh/kg energy consumption. This means that for every ton of plastic film produced, manufacturers are saving significant energy—translating directly into lower costs and a smaller environmental footprint.
Smart Automation: The Answer to Labor Constraints
Labor availability continues to be a challenge in Latin America, especially in industries that require technical know-how. Kung Hsing understands this reality. That’s why its machine integrates intelligent automation systems that remember material settings, automatically adjust parameters, and even alert operators on any abnormalities in production.
Operators no longer need to have years of experience to run high-precision production lines. The user-friendly interface and automated features significantly reduce the learning curve, helping companies train faster, operate smoother, and minimize downtime.
Built for Cold Chain and High-Barrier Applications
Food packaging trends are evolving, particularly with the growing demand for cold chain logistics. Meat, seafood, dairy—all require packaging that can withstand extreme cold while preserving freshness. Kung Hsing’s machine is tailored for exactly that.
With the ability to produce high-barrier films suitable for temperatures as low as -40°C, Latin American producers can confidently serve international markets and meet strict export packaging standards.
Beyond Equipment: A Partner in Progress
What truly sets Kung Hsing apart is not just its machinery—but its approach. The company combines Taiwanese manufacturing precision with a deep understanding of global market needs. For its Latin American clients, that means not only getting top-tier equipment, but also local technical support, access to spare parts, and tailored process consulting through regional partnerships.
for reliable partners who can support their transformation—partners who understand the balance between cost-efficiency, productivity, and sustainability. And Kung Hsing fits that role perfectly.
Looking Ahead: Innovation That Aligns with the Region’s Future
As Latin America invests in its manufacturing future, Kung Hsing is here to provide the tools—and the vision—to help companies thrive. Its 5-layer co-extrusion line is more than a high-performance machine; it’s a platform for growth, resilience, and responsible production.
For packaging manufacturers ready to step into a new era of smart, sustainable manufacturing, Kung Hsing is a name worth knowing.
