With the improvement of global environmental awareness and technological innovation in the building materials industry, Wood Plastic Composite (WPC) has become an ideal substitute for traditional wood because it combines the beauty of natural wood with the durability of plastic. As an industry-leading manufacturer, the automated WPC production line launched by Sharc Machine Company provides efficient and sustainable complete solutions for the production of building materials such as flooring, wall panels, and fences with advanced technology and flexible configuration.
Diversified product line: covering all-scenario applications
Sharc’s WPC production line can produce profiles of various specifications to meet the diverse needs of indoor and outdoor decoration:
Floor profile: supports the production of solid/hollow floors, with a width of 100-300mm and a thickness of 15-30mm, suitable for scenes such as terraces, courtyards, and commercial spaces.
Wall panel profile: The width is the same as the floor, and a variety of surface texture designs such as wood grain and stone grain are achieved through embossing rollers, suitable for indoor wall decoration or exterior wall cladding.
Other products: covering fences, benches, DIY floor tiles, outdoor chairs, etc., and even the second generation of composite profiles can be produced through co-extrusion to improve surface texture and durability.
Core raw materials: mainly recycled PE particles and wood powder, with calcium carbonate, compatibilizers, lubricants and other additives, which not only reduce costs, but also conform to the concept of circular economy. The surface layer can be equipped with PE particles, and personalized design can be achieved through embossing or mold forming.
Intelligent production process: Precision process guarantees quality
The production line adopts a fully automated process, which is efficient and controllable from raw material mixing to finished product molding:
Ingredient mixing: According to the formula ratio, the raw materials are evenly stirred by a high-speed PVC mixer to ensure that the wood powder and plastic are fully combined.
Granulation: The mixed material is made into granules through the granulation line to remove moisture and optimize the uniformity of the material, laying the foundation for subsequent extrusion molding.
Extrusion molding: The granules are melted and plasticized by a conical twin-screw extruder, and the preliminary profiles are extruded through the mold. The co-extrusion process can simultaneously coat the surface material (such as the wear-resistant layer).
Surface treatment: Optional online or offline embossing equipment can be used to achieve different textures (such as walnut and marble) by replacing the embossing roller.
Cooling and shaping: The profile is quickly cooled and solidified on the cooling table to ensure dimensional accuracy and surface flatness.
Cutting and stacking: Automatic stacking after fixed-length cutting, optional post-processing processes such as sanding and wire drawing to improve product finish.
Technical advantages: double improvement in performance and efficiency
The Sharc WPC production line breaks through the bottleneck of traditional building materials production with innovative design:
High-efficiency production capacity:
SC-65 model: production capacity 150-180kg/h, suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, main motor power 37kW.
SC-80 model: production capacity 250-320kg/h, meet large-scale production needs, main motor power 55kW.
Quality assurance:
Equipment precision control: core components such as screws and molds are made of high-wear-resistant materials to ensure that the profile size error is <±0.5mm.
Co-extrusion process upgrade: The second-generation profile has an outer layer coating technology, and its UV resistance is improved by 30%, and its surface wear resistance reaches Mohs level 3.
Environmental characteristics:
Recycled plastics account for up to 70% of the raw materials, reducing wood consumption and oil dependence.
The production process has low energy consumption and no exhaust gas emissions. The finished products can be 100% recycled and reused, and meet EU RoHS and other environmental protection standards.
Core competitiveness of WPC products: subverting the limitations of traditional building materials
Compared with natural wood, WPC products produced by Sharc have significant advantages:
| Characteristic | WPC Products | Traditional Wood |
| Water Resistance | Moisture-proof and mildew-proof, no expansion in an environment with humidity > 80% | Easy to absorb water and deform, need regular anti-corrosion treatment |
| Decorative | Multiple colors available, realistic texture, customizable | Single color, limited surface treatment |
| Security | Flame retardant grade B1, self-extinguishing when exposed to fire, no toxic gas | Flammable, burning releases harmful fumes |
| Maintenance Costs | No paint or wax required, easy to clean | Need to be painted and treated with insect repellent regularly |
| Service Life | 15-20 years in outdoor environment | It is easy to rot when used in the open air, and its service life is 5-10 years. |
Selection and service: one-stop solution
Sharc provides customers with full-process support:
Customized solution: According to production capacity requirements, product specifications and budget, match the best model (such as SC-65 is suitable for initial production, SC-80 is suitable for large-scale production).
Technical support: Provide equipment installation and commissioning, operation training and remote operation and maintenance services to ensure stable operation of the production line.
After-sales guarantee: 2-year warranty for core components, lifetime supply of accessories and process upgrade guidance.
Application scenarios and market prospects
WPC products are widely used in:
Outdoor scenes: terrace floors, garden fences, park benches, and swimming pool surrounding paving.
Indoor scenes: kitchen walls, balcony ceilings, commercial space background walls.
Municipal engineering: plank roads, landscape sketches, sound insulation barriers, etc.
With the advancement of the global “carbon neutrality” goal, WPC materials are expected to have an annual market growth rate of 12% in the next five years due to their low-carbon and renewable characteristics, especially in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific.
Choosing Sharc WPC production line is not only an investment in efficient production, but also a commitment to a sustainable future. Through technological innovation and environmental protection practices, Sharc is promoting the green and intelligent transformation of the building materials industry, helping customers seize the initiative in the competition.
