A Guide To Manufacturing

Blown Film Processing Instructions

STAGE 01 01

Material Preparation & Blending

Accurately weigh and proportion the ingredients according to the technical formula. Blend the materials thoroughly in a dry mixer to ensure uniform dispersion of the filler within the virgin resin before feeding them into the extruder.

STAGE 02 02

Feeding & Plasticization

The blended mixture is fed from the hopper into the barrel of the extruder where multi-zone heating and screw shear melt it into a homogeneous compound.

STAGE 03 03

Annular Die Extrusion

The molten polymer compound is forced upward through an annular die head to form a continuous, hollow tubular parison.

STAGE 04 04

Bubble Inflation & Cooling

Air supply is continuously regulated to maintain the bubble size and film thickness. An external air ring blows cooling air around the circumference of the film bubble to solidify the structure.

STAGE 05 05

Collapse & Nip Roll Extraction

After cooling, the tubular film passes through stabilizing guide frames and is flattened by a set of nip rolls (take-up rolls).

STAGE 06 06

Surface Treatment & Winding

The flattened film is guided through edge slitters before being wound into finished film rolls by the automated winding system.

Sector 02 HDPE / PP / PVC

Energy Savings

5% – 15%

High thermal conductivity of CaCO3 filler accelerates heating and vacuum sizing cooling cycles.

A Guide To Manufacturing

Pipes & Profiles Processing Instructions

STAGE 0101

Raw Material Mixing & Drying

Proportion virgin HDPE/PP/PVC resin with filler masterbatch and stabilizers. Pre-dry if moisture content exceeds threshold before feeding into the hopper.

STAGE 0202

Single / Twin-Screw Extrusion

Feed the dry blend into the extruder where controlled barrel temperature zones (180°C – 220°C) melt and homogenize the polymer compound.

STAGE 0303

Pipe & Profile Die Forming

The homogeneous melt passes through a precision annular pipe die or profile calibration die to establish outer diameter and wall thickness.

STAGE 0404

Vacuum Sizing & Spray Cooling

The extruded pipe enters the vacuum calibration tank and multi-stage water spray cooling troughs to lock in dimensional roundness and ring stiffness.

STAGE 0505

Caterpillar Haul-Off & Marking

Multi-belt caterpillar haul-off units pull the cooled pipe at constant speed while inline laser/inkjet printers apply specification markings.

STAGE 0606

Planetary Cutting & Stacking

Dust-free planetary saws cut the pipe or profile to exact commercial lengths before automated belling, socketing, and bundling.

Sector 03 PP / HDPE / ABS

Reduced Resin Consumption

15% – 40%

Depends on molded part geometry, wall thickness, and impact strength requirements.

Optimized Production Costs

15% – 28%

Lowers unit part cost while reducing shrinkage, warpage, and sink marks in thick-wall moldings.

Energy Savings

5% – 12%

Faster heat transfer shortens mold cooling cycle time by 10–20%, increasing shots per hour.

A Guide To Manufacturing

Injection Molding Processing Instructions

STAGE 0101

Formula Dosing & Tumbling

Blend PP/HDPE resin with high-MFI filler masterbatch (15% – 40%) and color masterbatch in a gravimetric or vertical mixer.

STAGE 0202

Barrel Plasticizing & Metering

The reciprocating screw melts the blend across heating zones (190°C – 230°C) with optimal back pressure to ensure streak-free dispersion.

STAGE 0303

High-Pressure Mold Clamping

The hydraulic or all-electric clamping unit locks the core and cavity halves under precise tonnage prior to melt injection.

STAGE 0404

Melt Injection & Holding Pressure

Molten polymer is injected at controlled velocity into the cavity, followed by packing/holding pressure to prevent sink marks.

STAGE 0505

Accelerated In-Mold Cooling

Chilled water channels rapidly extract heat from the molded part; CaCO3 filler accelerates solidification for shorter cycle times.

STAGE 0606

Mold Opening & Robotic Ejection

The mold opens and ejector pins or robotic arms remove the finished part with high dimensional accuracy and gloss.

Sector 04 PP HOMOPOLYMER

Raffia & Rope
