Do you want to know how edge banding is produced? Let YUEDA PLASTIC tell you:

The production process of edge - banding generally includes the following main steps:

I. Raw material preparation

• Material selection
  Edge - banding is usually made of materials such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and ABS plastic. First, appropriate plastic raw materials should be selected according to product requirements. Yueda Plastics will mix suitable raw materials according to customer requirements, and these raw materials generally exist in granular form.
• Mixing of additives
  Some environmentally - friendly additives, such as stabilizers, plasticizers, lubricants, etc., are added to the plastic raw materials as needed. These additives can improve the performance of the edge - banding, such as increasing flexibility and improving color stability. These raw materials and additives are fully mixed by a high - speed mixer.

II. Extrusion molding

• Heating and plasticizing
  The mixed raw materials are fed into an extruder. Inside the extruder, the raw materials are gradually plasticized through heating and the rotation of the screw, turning into a uniform melt. The temperature of the extruder is usually between 150 - 200 °C, and the specific temperature depends on the type of product being produced.
• Molding with dies
  The plasticized melt is extruded through dies with specific shapes to form the shape of the edge - banding. The design of the dies determines the cross - sectional shape of the edge - banding, such as common straight - line shapes, arc shapes, etc. Yueda Company has hundreds of dies that can meet various shape requirements of customers, and can also produce customized dies according to customer product requirements.

III. Cooling and shaping

• Cooling
  The newly - extruded edge - banding has a high temperature and is relatively soft. It needs to be quickly cooled by a cooling device to shape it. Yueda Company usually uses a combination of water - cooling and air - cooling methods.
• Traction and cutting
  The cooled edge - banding is pulled out at a uniform speed by a traction device to ensure the dimensional accuracy and straightness of the edge - banding. After reaching a certain length, the edge - banding is automatically cut into the required length by a cutting device.

IV. Printing
After the edge - banding is extruded and formed, the surfaces of some products need to be printed with various textures and patterns. Therefore, such edge - banding products need to enter the printing process. Yueda Plastics adopts the gravure printing technology for production, and all the inks used are environmentally friendly inks. The following is the relevant information:

• Principle: In gravure printing, the printing plate with the graphic and text parts recessed and the blank parts raised is immersed in the ink tank so that the entire plate surface is coated with ink. Then, the ink on the blank parts is scraped off by a scraper, leaving only the ink on the graphic and text parts. Finally, with the help of pressure, the ink on the graphic and text parts is transferred to the surface of the edge - banding.
• Features: It has relatively high printing precision and good color reproduction, and can present very delicate and realistic patterns as well as rich color gradations. It is commonly used for high - end edge - banding products with high requirements for printing quality.

V.Quality inspection and packaging

• Quality inspection
  The cut edge - banding needs to undergo quality inspection, including appearance inspection (such as whether the color is uniform and whether the surface is smooth), dimensional accuracy inspection, and physical property tests (such as flexibility, wear - resistance, etc.).
• Packaging
  The edge - banding that has passed the inspection is packaged. The packaging can be in rolls or strips, packaged according to customer requirements, and then labeled with product specifications, models, colors, and other information, ready for factory sales.
