Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber production uses several machine groups. Each one handles a stage in the process, from raw material handling to melt spinning, mixing, cutting, and testing.

 

Raw material processing and melting equipment

In UHMWPE fiber production, a core structure includes a first limit wheel, an extrusion wheel, and a second limit wheel. Raw material melts at high temperature. A threaded rod manually adjusts extrusion wheel pressure. A motor drives fiber forming. This setup suits high-precision raw material processing.

 

Melt spinning equipment

UHMWPE melt spinning equipment combines a twin-screw extruder, a pre-filter, and a booster pump. The connection between the die head and the metering pump controls spinning pressure. Fiber setting and discharge take place inside the spinning box, which helps maintain fiber uniformity. Hansheng Automation can machine custom spinneret plates, metering pump parts, and extrusion components from customer drawings, in single pieces or small batches.

 

Energy-saving mixing equipment

Energy-saving production equipment uses a mixing tank and a multi-directional motion structure. A lifting plate moves vertically while mixing blades rotate, which mixes raw material efficiently. Modular design, such as access boxes and support bases, lowers maintenance cost and fits large-scale production.

 

Cutting and testing equipment

Fiber-reinforced composite cutting equipment includes a machine tool, a drive mechanism, and pressing components. A feed mechanism precisely controls cutting depth. It is used to prepare mechanical property test samples and support accurate material analysis.

 

Integrated manufacturing equipment

A typical example is patented equipment from Qingdao Xintai Technology. A heat treatment box integrates electric heating rods and conveying components. This allows continuous heating and crystallization of fiber, improves mechanical properties, and reduces energy loss between production steps.

 

Beyond UHMWPE fiber equipment, our precision component customization covers more than one industry. We machine yacht precision components, RC car precision components, medical device parts, filling machinery parts, tobacco packaging machinery parts, printing machinery parts, and food machinery parts. Hansheng Automation works from customer drawings and delivers one-off or batch parts to the required material, tolerance, and surface finish.
