PET sheets, made from Polyethylene Terephthalate, are flat, versatile plastic sheets produced through extrusion. They're widely used across industries due to their strength, clarity, and recyclability. You'll find them in everything from food containers to protective packaging. Their ability to balance durability with aesthetic appeal makes them a top choice for manufacturers.
Why are PET sheets so popular? They're durable, eco-friendly, and adaptable. They resist wear and tear while maintaining a clear, glossy finish, perfect for showcasing products. Their recyclability also aligns with growing environmental demands, making them a smart choice for businesses aiming to reduce their carbon footprint.
PET sheets are fatigue-resistant, non-toxic, and odorless. They withstand chemicals, weather, and temperature extremes, making them ideal for both hot and cold applications. Their high transparency and gloss enhance product visibility, while their toughness ensures they hold up during handling and transport.
PET sheets are used in vacuum-formed products like food trays, toy packaging, and stationery cases. They're also critical in electronics for antistatic packaging and in retail for high-end cosmetic and gift boxes. Their versatility spans food, medical, and industrial applications.
Extrusion is the process of heating PET resin until it's molten, then pushing it through a die to form a continuous sheet. The sheet is cooled and shaped to the desired thickness. This method ensures consistent, high-quality output, essential for large-scale production.
Extrusion delivers efficiency and uniformity, making it ideal for producing PET sheets in bulk. It supports the use of recycled PET, reducing waste and costs. This process ensures sheets meet precise specifications, critical for industries like packaging.
Single screw extruders are simpler but less efficient for complex materials. Twin screw extruders, like those used by JWELL, offer superior mixing and processing, especially for recycled PET. They reduce material waste and improve sheet quality.
Precision in temperature, pressure, and material flow is crucial. Even minor errors can cause defects like uneven thickness or cloudiness. Advanced machines with automated controls ensure every sheet meets exact standards.
According to different raw materials and product applications, Jwell Machinery has developed different extrusion systems such as single screw, twin screw, single and twin screw co-extrusion to meet different market application requirement.
The current measured output of CJWS95 twin-screw extruder can reach 1500kg/h
The current measured output of 150 single-screw extruder can reach 800kg/h
