Production line and factory setup overview
Produces routed MDF membrane doors by board cutting, CNC route design, sanding, vacuum membrane pressing with PVC film, trim, hardware drilling, inspection and protective packing.
Recommended lowest-entry line configuration Start with a limited routed design family and a compatible MDF, PVC film and adhesive/vacuum process. Confirm film stretch, routing depth, adhesion, heat settings, edge wrap and kitchen/door moisture exposure before purchasing a larger press.
Production process and implementation sequence
- MDF receiving and cutting
- CNC routing/design machining
- Sanding and dust removal
- Adhesive application
- PVC film layup
- Vacuum membrane pressing and cooling
- Trim/hardware drilling
- Adhesion/appearance/packing release
Products, capacity and market fit
- Approve a physical sample and applicable standard.
- Launch with a defined product range and documented tool settings.
- Keep material and quality records for each batch.
- MDF membrane and CNC-routed doors - MDF grade/thickness, routed design, PVC film, adhesive, vacuum/heat cycle, edge wrap, surface quality, hardware machining and moisture-use limitation - Kitchens, wardrobes, interior doors, furniture workshops, retailers and housing projects
Core production machinery and line specifications
| Machine / stage | Function / value | Production note |
|---|---|---|
| Panel saw and CNC router | Cuts and routes door designs | Program/design tolerance |
| Sanding/dust extraction | Prepares clean film surface | No routed-fibre defects |
| Glue application station | Applies membrane adhesive | Coat weight/open time |
| Vacuum membrane press | Wraps PVC film over routed face | Heat/vacuum/cycle control |
| QC/hardware bench | Releases finished doors | Adhesion/edge/hardware check |
Raw materials, utilities and factory requirements
- MDF boards, PVC membrane film, compatible adhesive, cleaning materials, hardware, cutting/router tools, sanding consumables and packaging
- Stable electricity, covered raw-material storage and protected finished-goods handling
- Guarded equipment, documented maintenance, essential spares and product-specific safety controls
Indicative low-entry investment and implementation plan
These planning ranges prioritize economical machinery, local labor and local civil works. Final pricing follows confirmed capacity, product specification, delivery terms and site conditions.
