Production line and factory setup overview
Extrudes weather-exposed WPC decking and cladding from controlled wood flour/polymer compound, including profile calibration, cooling, embossing or co-extrusion where specified, cutting and batch inspection.
Recommended lowest-entry line configuration Do not launch until UV, water absorption, thermal movement, slip and fixing requirements have been tested for the exact profile.
Production process and implementation sequence
- Dry wood flour and compound mixing
- WPC extrusion and profile calibration
- Cooling and embossing/co-extrusion
- Cutting and fixing-slot finishing
- Weathering/sample inspection and packing
Products, capacity and market fit
- Profile geometry and formulation control determine acceptance.
- Use only a limited décor/profile range at launch.
- Verify surface quality and installer fit before dispatch.
- WPC exterior decking and cladding - Profile geometry, density, water uptake, UV surface, thermal movement, fixing system and colour consistency - Compounds, terraces, facades, hospitality and outdoor contractors
Core production machinery and line specifications
| Machine / stage | Function / value | Production note |
