Plastic wear plate, as a kind of high-performance engineering plastic sheet, is widely used in many fields such as machinery manufacturing, chemical industry, food processing, mining and so on with its excellent wear resistance, impact resistance, corrosion resistance and light weight and high strength. It can not only effectively extend the service life of the equipment, but also improve production efficiency and reduce maintenance costs.
1.Plastic wear plate production process
Raw material selection and pretreatment: According to customer needs and application scenarios, choose suitable plastic raw materials, such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyurethane (PU), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or nylon (PA) and so on. Raw materials need to go through pre-treatment steps such as drying, screening and mixing to ensure their quality and stability.
Mold design and manufacturing: According to the size, shape and thickness requirements of the wear-resistant plates, special extrusion or injection molds are designed and manufactured. The precision and durability of the molds are crucial to the quality of the wear-resistant plates.
Molding process: adopt extrusion, injection or calendering molding process to process the pre-treated plastic raw materials into wear-resistant plates. During the molding process, parameters such as temperature, pressure and speed need to be strictly controlled to ensure the dimensional accuracy and physical properties of the wear-resistant plates.
Post-processing and finishing: The molded wear-resistant plate is subject to post-processing operations such as trimming, deburring, cutting, punching, etc. to meet the specific needs of customers. Meanwhile, surface modification, such as spraying and printing, can also be carried out to improve the appearance quality and durability of the wear-resistant plates.
Quality inspection and testing: Strict quality inspection and performance testing of wear-resistant plates, including testing of wear resistance, impact resistance, corrosion resistance, hardness, thickness and other indexes, to ensure that they meet the relevant standards and customer requirements.
Packaging and shipment: The qualified wear-resistant plates will be packaged with necessary product description and warranty information, ready to be shipped to customers.
2.Customization of plastic wear-resistant plate
Demand analysis: Communicate with customers in depth to understand their application scenarios, wear-resistant requirements, size specifications, color and other specific needs.
Design program: according to the customer’s needs, design the wear-resistant plate size, shape, thickness and material and other parameters, and provide preliminary design drawings and samples.
Sample making and testing: Make samples according to the design scheme and conduct actual testing to verify the key performance such as wear resistance and impact resistance.
Optimization and Adjustment: Based on the test results and customer feedback, optimize and adjust the design scheme until it meets all the customer’s requirements.
Mass production: After confirming that the design scheme is correct, mass production will be carried out and the consistency and stability of product quality will be ensured.
After-sales service: Provide perfect after-sales service, including product consultation, technical support, maintenance and replacement, etc. to ensure customer satisfaction.
3.Plastic wear-resistant plate material introduction
Material: polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyurethane (PU), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), nylon (PA) and so on.
Characteristics:
Strong abrasion resistance: these plastic materials have excellent abrasion resistance and can withstand high-frequency friction and abrasion, extending the service life of the equipment.
