A Full introduction and tips for how to choose the most suitable cutting machine for your EPE foam die cutting.
We have lots of models for EPE foam die cutting of four column precision die cutting machine.
Below is the introduction and tips for how to choose the most suitable cutting machine for your EPE foam die cutting.
0) Structure of the hydraulic press.
First of all, at present in the market, the most popular die cutting machine is the 4-column 2-cylinder Auto balance connecting rod precision hydraulic cutting press, which is the replacement for the old mechanical, flat cutting press which is not durable, the replacement for the CNC cutting machine when the knife is running much slower than the die cutting(CNC is more suitable for 3D shapes cutting). The precision auto balance cutting machine is stage-cutting, which is "soft "cutting, and to prolong the cutting machine, cutting die using lifetime.
1) Cutting pressure.
For hydraulic die cutting machine, from 30 tons to 300 tons, popular also from 30 tons to 300 tons, as for different products packages.
2) Cutting area.
Hydraulic die cutting press machines in our factory, there are standard sizes, as well customized sizes.
At present, all sizes of die cutting machine area in the market can be customized from our factory.
Anyway, we are the biggest die cutting machine factory in China and we focus on hydraulic die cutting.
You can see from this page for the customized size.
3) Feeding type.
As for feeding system. we have manual type, to full auto type as well.
Then which is the most popular ones?
Actully for different foam materials types, the feeding systems can be used in different materials production.
We can make it as different feeding types:
1) Manual sliding table 30 tons - 50 tons. (Popular) For rolls + sheets.
2) Manual sliding table 60 tons -300 tons. (Common) For rolls + sheets.
3) Auto sliding table 30 tons - 50 tons. (Very less) For sheets.
4) Auto sliding table 60 tons - 300 tons. (Super Popular) For sheets.
5) Belt-clip feeding table from 60 tons -300 tons. (Popular) For rolls.
6) Cut on belt feeding conveyor from 80 tons - 300 (Popular) for thin rolls.
7) Sucker with roller auto feeding from 150 tons to 300 tons. (Popular) Must be EPE foam sheets/boards
8) Travel head with table/belt feeding from 30 tons to 100 tons. (From some special usage)
4. Some tips to choose the suitable feeding system for the cutting machine.
1) Based on the foam thickness to choose the pressure.
For manual type feeding table feeding system, it can be used for multi-layer thin rolls into long sheets.
Also it can be for sheets from 5mm to 50mm when using small pressure from 30 tons, 40 tons, to 50 tons.
When it goes to higher thickness, such as 50mm, 60mm, 80mm thickness, the cutting pressure from 60 tons.
2) Based on the products size to choose the working area.
The foam pacakges sizes really ranges from 20x20mm to 2000x2000mm size, some is just to protect a corner, but some is as the shockproof for screens.
Anyway, standard 1220x610mm, 1400x810mm can meet most requirements.
But when is larger, how to choose? No worries, we can make
3) Based on the budget to choose pressure and cutting area die cut press.
You can see that we can offer all levels of cutting press for different output, beginners to large market producers.
The keypoint for based on budget to choose, is the cutting dies which can be made big or small to suit for the cutting area.
Because you can arrange to cut out 1 pcs or 2 pcs from one cutting die, or full sheets by one cutting.
Also you can see, our cutting press machines are from low pressure to high pressure, standard area to large cutting area, manual feeding to full auto feeding, so the machine cost will be difference from 4000 USD to 100,000 USD.
For starters, to grow with us from small 30 tons is fine. I am sure that after 1-2 years, you will add more machines from us.
4) Based on human cost to choose the feeding type of the trimming press.
Have to say, different countries have different human cost so have different requirements for the machine auto type.
But please note that, the hydraulic cutting press machine no matter auto type or manual type, both can be operated by women and men.
Anyway, when you consider the worker cost and efficiency, just go ahead to the automatic type, such as belt-clip table feeding, conveyor feeding, and sucker roller feeding etc.
5) Based on testing or working videos.
Well, really hard to choose. Never mind. The fastest way to choose the correct model, no matter pressure, feeding way, is from the true working experience from yourself, other customers, or just testing.
We already filmed a lot of machine videos, also got many videos from our customers sharing for cutting machine for EPE foam.
