GWELL GWC 80-156 WPC production line

GWELL GWC 80-156 WPC production line manufactured in 2015 is characterised by high production efficiency. WPC boards are made by combining natural components with thermoplastic polymers. This results in a material with the high aesthetics of wood and the exceptional durability of plastics, distinguished by full resistance to fungus, insects and various atmospheric factors.

The production line consists of:
– GWC 80/156 twin-screw extruder
– GWC 65/132 twin-screw extruder
– CUT 240 saw
– CAL 14000/6 calibrating table
– ROL 240 2-caterpillar haul-off
– unloading table

The WPC profile extrusion line is offered with optional heads for forming different types of profiles from these products. To date, the machine has only been in operation for a dozen days and has not been used at full production scale.

For an additional charge, equipment cooperating with the line can be purchased:
– GWELL 500/1000L mixer (69.050 € net)
– pulveriser (complete pulverising line + dryer, 14.290 € net)
– brushing machine (21.430 € net)
– grinding machine (13.100 € net)

Thanks to the additional equipment, the produced profile goes straight to the brushing machine and grinding machine, where its surface is scraped off to give the element a more rustic appearance.
