SUHUI plastic straw making machine is an automated PP, PE and PLA straw extrusion line with φ1–14 mm diameter range, 3–1000 mm cutting length, 8-zone temperature control and high-speed output up to 800 straws/min.
The SUHUI plastic straw making machine is an automated straw extrusion line for PP, PE and PLA drinking straw production. It is built for factories that need stable straw diameter control, high-speed cutting, repeatable output and a quotation-ready machine configuration for different straw sizes.
This machine supports straw diameters from φ1 mm to φ14 mm and cutting lengths from 3 mm to 1,000 mm. Standard models cover output capacities from more than 25 kg/h to 45 kg/h, with line speeds above 250 m/min depending on straw diameter, wall thickness, material and cutting length.
Buyers may also describe this equipment as a drinking straw making machine, drinking straw machine or straw machine. On this product page, those terms are kept as natural equipment synonyms while the main focus stays on machine configuration, output capacity and quotation requirements.

A plastic straw making machine is a compact extrusion system that turns plastic resin pellets into continuous straw tubes, then cools, pulls and cuts them into finished straws. For buyers, the most important questions are not only how the line works, but whether the machine can match the required material, straw diameter, output capacity, cutting length and downstream packing plan.
SUHUI configures each straw extrusion machine according to the target straw type and factory layout. The line can be used for conventional PP or PE drinking straws, and it can also be adjusted for PLA straw production when the resin drying, processing temperature and tooling requirements are confirmed in advance.

PLA straw production requires more careful process control than standard PP or PE straw production. PLA resin is sensitive to moisture and temperature, so poor drying, unstable barrel temperature or unsuitable line speed can lead to material degradation, bubbles, brittle straws or inconsistent extrusion.
For PLA projects, SUHUI reviews the resin grade, straw diameter, output target and factory conditions before confirming the machine configuration. The line can be adjusted with suitable temperature-zone settings, screw and die configuration, stable haul-off control and a drying or moisture-control feeding arrangement when required by the selected PLA material.
Buyers planning biodegradable straw production should confirm the PLA resin supplier, recommended drying conditions, target straw performance and local compostability or food-contact requirements before final quotation.
Before quoting a plastic straw production line, SUHUI checks the material, straw specification, target capacity, factory space and downstream handling requirement. This helps avoid under-sized machines, unnecessary modules or a line layout that does not match the buyer’s production plan.
| Configuration Item | What to Confirm | Why It Matters |
| Material | PP, PE, PLA or customized formulation | Different materials require different drying, temperature and tooling settings |
| Straw diameter | φ1-14 mm standard range | Determines die design, haul-off stability and cutting setup |
| Straw length | 3-1000 mm standard range | Affects cutting speed, tolerance and collection method |
| Output target | kg/h, straws/min or daily production target | Determines model selection and motor configuration |
| Downstream process | Manual collection, counting, packing or flexible straw processing | Determines whether extra modules are needed |
This plastic straw making machine can be configured for different straw and small tube products, including:
For overseas projects, buyers should confirm the required machine safety documentation, electrical standards, destination-market compliance requirements and import documents before placing an order. If CE-related documents, ISO quality documentation or other project files are required, they should be confirmed with SUHUI during the quotation stage.
Because the machine is used to produce drinking straws, final food-contact compliance depends not only on the equipment, but also on resin grade, additives, color masterbatch, workshop hygiene, downstream packing and local testing requirements. SUHUI can help buyers clarify the production configuration, but the finished straw’s food-contact certification should be verified according to the buyer’s target market and material supplier documentation.
In procurement searches, plastic straw making machine usually refers to the commercial equipment used for PP, PE or PLA straw extrusion. Drinking straw making machine is broader and may include both equipment buyers and users researching how straws are made.
This product page focuses on the quotation and machine configuration side: model selection, capacity, material compatibility, cutting precision, line layout and after-sales support. For a process explanation before choosing equipment, read the drinking straw making machine buyer guide.

The machine can process PP, PE and PLA resin pellets. Parameters such as barrel temperature, screw speed and haul-off speed can be adjusted through the PLC touchscreen according to material type, straw diameter and output requirement.
Standard configurations support straw diameters from φ1 mm to φ14 mm and lengths from 3 mm to 1,000 mm. Custom configurations can be discussed based on straw type, cutting method, output capacity and production layout.
SUHUI standard models cover more than 25 kg/h, 35 kg/h and 45 kg/h output capacity. Actual output depends on straw diameter, wall thickness, material, line speed, cutting length and downstream handling method.
Yes. The machine can be configured for PLA straw production, but PLA processing requires stricter drying, temperature control and parameter adjustment than PP or PE straw production. SUHUI reviews the PLA resin grade and can adjust the temperature setting, screw and die configuration, haul-off control and drying or moisture-control feeding arrangement according to the project requirement.
Quality is controlled through stable extrusion temperature, precision die forming, water bath cooling, consistent haul-off speed and high-speed cutting accuracy. The system can also connect with inspection, counting or packing modules depending on the production plan.
For export projects, buyers should confirm required machine safety documents, electrical standards, CE-related requirements, ISO quality documentation and local import rules before ordering. For drinking straw production, food-contact compliance also depends on resin, additives, color masterbatch, workshop hygiene, packing process and finished product testing in the target market.
