How to choose the right model of EPE Foam Sheet Extrusion Machine?

Many customers who are new to foam packaging industry are faced with the problem of how to choose a model when purchasing EPE foam sheet extrusion machines. Many greenhands will choose the machine model according to their financial situation and sales volume. Actually this is not right.

EPE product is a kind of packaging material which is large is size but light in weight. This feature determines that its transport range is relatively limited. Therefore, when choosing an EPE foaming machine, it should be determined from the EPE needs of the surrounding target customers.

For example, the surrounding customers are furniture factories, door and window factories, ceramics, bathroom products and so on. Most of the EPE products used by this customer can be satisfied in the thickness range of 0.3-5mm. The door and window furniture factory will need U-shaped and other special-shaped materials. In this case, the 105/120 foaming machine can be selected, meanwhile, you can add the die head and auxiliary parts for making profiles Then it can meet the needs of surrounding customers.

If the surrounding customers are in packaging field—- electronic products packaging, wine packaging, gift box packaging, etc,  this normally demands foam product thickness over 10mm. In this case, the customer needs a big machine -----180, 200, 220 or even 250. Big machine can make products which are thick with light density. Later when they make deep manufacturing the cost is lower and efficiency is high.

If customers wants to make thickness between 0.2-2mm, then it must be a small model of foam machine. 

In general, big models of machines make products with thickness of more than 3mm, small models of machine makes products with thickness of 0.2-5mm.
