How to Choose Plastic Extrusion Machinery

Here is about millions plastic extrusion machine factory all over the world . When you plan toestablish a factory, how to find a suitable supplier?In this lesson , we will teach you step by step how to do ?

First, let’s make a small investigation for the famous

brand and price average.

This is a customs record of the plastic extrusion machinery export .

We only count the top 9 country : Germany, China, Italy, Japan, Austria, USA, and India which is

the biggest export country all over the world . From the customs record, we noticed, Germany is

about twice export value of China . And China is about twice value of India too .

Which country have the good price ? Let’s do a small Calculations:

India 2713 2712216 57946910 21359 1000

From this sheet, we see the USA price is most expensive, but Germany price cheaper than USA. Ican’t understand why USA plastic extrusion machinery cheaper than Germany .Germany isfamous all over the world for good quality machines . But why their price lower than USA? Is itbecause they provide good quality but good price machine too when compare to USA extrusionmachine? We need to make a research later and reveal the truth .But we understand from the chart that China price is about 1/3 of USA price. And half when

compare to Germany price . India sell the most cheap machines .

Second: choose which country to import the

machines.

USA plastic extrusion machines

is very high price, but, I learned from some friends, they said they are high technology, if yourproducts is something new, and only USA have such technology or precision standard, you haveto buy from USA. But some our clients take video of USA machine and send to China to producein case to reduce cost. For example, the micro soft FEP cathether, USA machine price is among$15 million usd. But China copy cost is about $1 million usd.

Germany plastic extrusion machine

is good quality and fair price too . If you want the high quality and compact technology, buy fromGermany is a good choice.

China plastic extrusion Machinery

Now, we talking about China machinery. We all understand China have the full industrysupply chain . Every goods can produced in China and you can find every part supplier. So ,thespare cost is less. But with the crazy rapid real estate rising, nowday, China human cost is higherand higher when compare to other Asia country and Middle-east country . If you don’t like to payhigh cost for the machinery you need to buy, China will be a good choice for you . You can findevery kinds of quality standard with about 1/2 price compare to Germany machine .

India plastic extrusion machine

India have very cheap price, but because human not every educated, so the technology isunder middle level. If just the normal and no quality requested products, India country machineis a good choice .

Third: Find out the standard technology or parameter

of plastic extrusion machines (let’s undersand what

we buy)

We can do this by search from wiki “Plastics extrusion is a high-volume manufacturingprocess in which raw plastic is melted and formed into a continuous profile. Extrusion producesitems such as pipe/tubing, weatherstripping, fencing, deck railings, window frames, plastic filmsand sheeting, thermoplastic coatings, and wire insulation”We understand this description into a picture :

So , now, we understand the main parts should be Extruder part and Mould&Die part.Extruder provide good performance to melt the plastic . And mould&Die formed the plastic topipes/tubing,stripping, or window frames,coating etc .

Products:

We need to analyze what our product should be ? What’s the produce name ? What materialto make? What precision? What size ? And How many pcs you need to produce per 24hours/day .( The machine usually work 7*24 hours)

Extruder:

After we analyze our products, we need to confirm what kinds of extruder to produce ourproducts. Extruder the above chart, we can understand Screw&Barrel is the soul of a extruder. Itcontrol how many kgs plastics it can melt, if the plastic melt evenly, if the plastic can beextruded out evenly and successfully.Then the motors , a good motor is stable and enough power, Some clients buy bad machine butfind the machine can have enough power to run. In China, we usually use the Siemens Brand .

Motor is like the picture .

Extruder have 2 kinds:1. Single Screw Extruder:Picture like blow

And here is some parameter of single screw extruder.

2. Twin screw extruder:Picture like blow

And here is some parameter of single screw extruder.

Mould&Die

Its second import parts besides screws. Good moulds can ensure the shape and precisions.

Cooling Tunk

When the products extruded from die, it’s high temperature and soft. Weneed to cooling it and fixed the form.It have vacuum and water cooling 2 kinds.Different products need different cooling tunk . We can ask our supplier to

design the solution for us .

Hual Off

Haul off the products from extruder at constant speed,. They are the necessarydevice among plastic extrusion product line .

All in a words: the plastic extrusion produce line is the DIY of :Extruder+Mould&Dies+ Cooling Tunk+Haul off+ Cutter+ (Stocker or Windermachine)

Fourth:How extrusion machinery factory located in

China

In China, the extrusion factory mainly located at 4 places .1: Qingdao, It’s mainly for bigger machine, like sheet, marble , WPC machine .2.Shanghai,Zhangjiagang City, They are near Jwell headoffice, influced by Jwell brand, it have thewhole plastic extrusion machinery supply chain. Like Gear box, Screw, And many dies& Mouldfactory. They can provide quicker delivery .3.Hebei Weifang : This city is traditional for heavy industrial. It have many many small factory toproduce all kinds of tube, hose .4.Guangdong Province : Advanced technology , influenced by Carton Fair and HK, it can got themost advantaged technolgoy.

Fifth:How to find real and correct factory in China?

60% China factories not master good English. So , something you called as “ LED PC covermachine” In China may called as “ LED PC tube machine” . Here I will teach you one method toverify is your words how China factory called . Let’s go http://www.alibaba.com ,

Go to see the pictures listed: please ignore the one shown as “ Sponsored Listing” . If thepicture is what you want, then congratulations, you got the right keywords what Chinese called .Contact with such suppliers, you can get what you really want .

Sixth:How to choose a suitable factory

We need to find at least 20 companies in China and got quotation from them .Choose the one who have good price , not lowest,Feeling which one is easy to communicated . Machines is not one time business, it need long andreliable sales after service. A good communicated supplier which will cooperated closely withyou .

Especailly, go to visit . Can’t escape this step . What you see is what you can believe.If a factory provide 100% refund promise, they must be a reliable supplier.Others will added laterly, welcome to wrote email to kate@ygplasticmachine.com to discuss .We are happy to help you .

Seventh: How to control the risk when put a order

Alibaba provide the FREE trade assurance service . Or go with LC paymentterms.https://tradeassurance.alibaba.com/bao/buyer_advertise.htm?spm=a2700.7724838.0.0.71pqqe&tracelog=from_list_item

Or , let a Chinese agent to help you buy the machines and control quality .Time is short, In later articles, I will explain the temperatures and haul offspeed in plastic extrusion .Again, I’m also new in this field. If something wrong explained , welcome tocontact with kate@ygplasticmachine.com or whatsapp: 008618565573654skype: kate.tin . Let’s grow up together .
