CPP Cast Decorative Film Extrusion Line

These extrusion lines are specifically designed for decorative CPP films for:
Furniture surfaces – lamination for cabinets, wardrobes, desks (wood grain, marble, or solid color finishes)
Automotive interior parts – door panels, instrument panels, pillar trims requiring scratch resistance and soft-touch surfaces
Wall coverings and ceiling films – lightweight, printable, washable decorative layers
Packaging with decorative effect – gift wrapping paper, laminated packaging boxes, high-grade carton surface layers
Real case: A Turkish furniture film producer uses JCFPP-1650ZS-2 (die 1650 mm, net film width 1350 mm), output 380 kg/h, with ABA layer structure. They successfully replaced PVC film with CPP, achieving better heat resistance and lower VOC emissions for bedroom furniture.
Large-scale case: A Chinese decorative film manufacturer runs two JCFPP-2900ZS-4 lines (die 2900 mm, net film width 2600 mm), each output 750 kg/h. The ABCD 4-layer design enables them to produce in one pass a composite structure of white opaque bottom layer + colored middle layer + top UV-resistant layer + bottom primer layer for wall panel lamination.

Additional practical advantages reported by customers:
Quick die cleaning system (less than 2 hours for 2900 mm die)
Automatic thickness profile control (±1.5 μm accuracy across 2600 mm width)
Integrated edge trim cutting and recycling – recycled material directly back to extruder for ABA structure

We adopt a 4-stage QC workflow to ensure every roll of decorative film meets global standards (ASTM, ISO, or customer-specific standards).

Stage 1 – Online Monitoring
Melt pressure and temperature sensors on each extruder (alarm on deviation >2%)
Continuous thickness measurement (online β-ray or X-ray gauge) – full width data recorded every 0.5 seconds
Automatic die bolt adjustment – full width thickness variation kept within ±2%

Stage 2 – Sampling and Laboratory Testing (every 2 hours)

Stage 3 – Simulated End-Use Testing (once per shift)
Printability test – apply solvent-based/UV ink on treated surface (dyne level ≥ 38 mN/m)
Lamination peel test – bond film to MDF at 110°C, peel strength > 1.5 N/mm
Heat aging test – 48 hours at 80°C; no yellowing or delamination

Stage 4 – Final Roll Inspection
Winder inspection – check for meandering, wrinkles, bubbles
Metal detector and black light – detect any contaminants or pinholes
Roll weight and dimensions – conform to order requirements (e.g., 1350 mm width × 600 mm OD, 3-inch core)
Real case: A UAE customer producing decorative wall films used JCFPP – 2900ZS – 4 with online thickness feedback. They reduced thickness variation from ±4 μm to ±1.8 μm within one week, saving 8% in material.

Q1: What is the MOQ for this line?
A: We sell by individual line. MOQ = 1 complete extrusion line (extruder, die, chill roll unit, winder, and optional corona treater). A spare parts kit is recommended but not mandatory.

Q2: Can I produce film below 0.1 mm thickness?
A: Yes. The JCFPP series can produce 0.03 mm to 0.5 mm thickness. For decorative film, the common range is 0.08 – 0.25 mm. Below 0.05 mm, we recommend ABCD configuration for better melt stability.

Q3: How long does it take to switch between ABA and ABCD?
A: The line cannot be field-converted between 2-layer and 4-layer – you select the configuration when ordering. However, within the same configuration, changing layer ratios (e.g., A/B from 20/80 to 40/60) via the control panel takes about 15 minutes.

Q4: What raw materials are suitable?
A: Homopolymer PP, random copolymer PP, and special decorative-grade CPP resins. Also compatible with calcium carbonate filler (up to 40%) for cost reduction, and in-house recycled material (for core layer in ABA/ABCD, up to 30%).

Q5: How are the 1650 mm and 2900 mm die widths shipped?
A: The die and chill roll are packed in reinforced wooden crates. For 2900 mm (~9.5 ft wide), we use a 40-ft open-top container or flat rack. On-site installation support is provided.

Q6: What is typical power consumption?
A: Field measured:
JCFPP – 1650ZS – 2: Installed power 210 kW, actual consumption ~160 kW (at 400 kg/h output)
JCFPP – 2900ZS – 4: Installed power 380 kW, actual consumption ~290 kW (at 750 kg/h output)

Q7: Do you provide training and commissioning services?
A: Yes. We provide 14 days of on-site commissioning and operator training. Remote support via video call is also available during the warranty period (12 months).

Q8: How to quickly clean the die for color changes?
A: Use purging compound (PP-based) followed by manual scraping. For the 1650 mm die, one full cleaning takes about 1 hour; for the 2900 mm die, about 1.5 hours with two technicians.
