Hello everyone. I would like to Know if i have to change my blown film extruder line or screw , so i can produce PLA plastic film. I have already changed one of my extruders for the production of starch plastic film. i read somewhere that you can use PLA without change your equipment or screw and that it works fine with HDPE lines as well but with shorter neck. Is this true?

Thanks
