Product Description

The Epe Foaming Plastic Sleeve Fruit Net Mesh Extrusion Making Machine is specialized in producing expandable polyethylene (EPE) foam net meshes, which are widely used as protective sleeves for fruits, vegetables, and other delicate products. This machine combines advanced foaming technology with precise extrusion and shaping processes to create high-quality net meshes with uniform cell structure and excellent cushioning properties.

The production process begins with feeding EPE resin pellets, along with foaming agents and additives, into the extruder. The material is heated and mixed in the extruder to form a homogeneous melt, which is then forced through a specially designed die head to create the net-like structure. As the molten material exits the die, it expands rapidly due to the release of pressure, forming the characteristic mesh pattern. The foam net is then cooled, stabilized, and wound into rolls or cut into individual sleeves according to customer specifications.

The machine is capable of producing net meshes with different mesh sizes, wall thicknesses, and lengths, making it suitable for protecting a wide range of fruits, from small berries to large melons.

Features

High-Quality Foaming: The advanced foaming system ensures a uniform distribution of bubbles, resulting in net meshes with excellent impact resistance and softness, which effectively protect fruits from scratches and bruises.

Adjustable Mesh Parameters: The die head and extrusion speed can be easily adjusted to produce meshes with different hole sizes (ranging from 5mm to 20mm) and stretch ratios, adapting to various fruit sizes and shapes.

High-Speed Production: With a maximum output of 200 kg/h, the machine can meet the high-volume demands of fruit packaging industries, especially during peak harvest seasons.

Low Material Waste: The precision cutting and winding system minimizes material waste, ensuring a high utilization rate of raw materials (over 98%).

Easy Maintenance: The modular design of the extruder and die head allows for quick disassembly and cleaning, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

Application

Fruit and Vegetable Packaging: EPE foam net meshes are ideal for wrapping apples, pears, oranges, watermelons, and other fruits to provide cushioning during transportation and storage. They also help to prevent moisture loss and maintain product freshness.

Home Appliances and Electronics: The net meshes can be used as protective covers for small home appliances, such as blenders and toasters, and electronic devices, providing scratch resistance and shock absorption.

Flower and Plant Protection: They are suitable for wrapping flower pots, seedlings, and delicate plants to protect them from physical damage during handling and shipping.

Industrial Packaging: In industrial applications, these net meshes are used to wrap metal parts, glassware, and other fragile components, ensuring safe transportation and storage.

Faq

Q: Can the machine produce colored net meshes?

A: Yes, color masterbatches can be added to the raw material mixture to produce net meshes in various colors, as long as they are compatible with EPE resin.

Q: What is the minimum wall thickness of the net mesh?

A: The standard thickness ranges from 0.3mm to 1.0mm, but thinner or thicker meshes can be produced by adjusting the die head and cooling parameters.

Q: How long does it take to change the die head for different mesh sizes?

A: With the quick-release mechanism, die head replacement can be completed in approximately 30 minutes, minimizing production downtime.

Q: Is the machine suitable for producing biodegradable EPE net meshes?

A: Yes, it can handle biodegradable EPE materials, provided that the processing temperature and foaming conditions are adjusted according to the specific material requirements.
