Plastic pallet inserts are key components that enhance the performance and functionality of plastic pallets by embedding them in specific materials or structures to provide greater load-bearing capacity, durability, or other special properties. They are widely used in logistics, warehousing, food processing, pharmaceutical industry and other fields, is an indispensable part of modern supply chain management.
1.Plastic pallet insert production process
Design planning: according to customer demand and pallet use environment, design the shape, size and material of the insert.
Mold manufacturing: according to the design drawings, manufacturing molds for the production of inserts.
Raw Material Preparation: Select plastic raw materials that meet the requirements, such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene (PP) or copolymerized polypropylene (EPS30R).
Injection/blow molding: The raw material is heated to a molten state and then injected into the mold at high pressure to be molded by the injection or blow molding process.
Cooling and shaping: The molten plastic is cooled and hardened in the mold to form the final shape of the insert.
Post-processing: The inserts are trimmed and deburred to ensure that they meet the quality requirements.
Quality Inspection: The inserts are inspected in terms of size, appearance, performance, etc. to ensure that they are qualified.
2.Plastic pallet inserts customization
Demand communication: Communicate with customers to understand the specific use of the pallet, load-bearing requirements, the use of the environment and so on.
Program development: according to customer needs, develop the design of inserts, including shape, size, material and so on.
Sample production: according to the design scheme, make samples for customers to confirm.
Mass production: After the customer confirms the samples, mass production will be carried out.
After-sales service: Provide after-sales service such as installation guidance and performance consultation of inserts.
