Pulp Molding Machines | Mass production of compostable plates | Production Rate: 300 plates/hour (Industry Standard) ▲400 (Base) ▲▲500 (Advanced) (ISO 9283 tested) Automation: Manual/Semi (Industry) ▲Semi (Base) ▲▲Full PLC (Advanced) (ISO 13849) Material: Mixed fibers (Industry) ▲80% Bamboo (Base) ▲▲100% Bamboo (Advanced) (EN 309) | High output, eco-friendly, automation reduces labor costs, customizable designs | Higher initial cost, requires skilled operators, slower than plastic-based machines |
Injection Molding | High-volume plastic containers | Production Rate: 600 units/hour (Industry Standard) Material: Non-compostable plastic (ISO 1043) | Fast production, durable products, low per-unit cost | Non-eco-friendly, high energy consumption, limited to plastic materials |
Extrusion Blow Molding | Hollow plastic items (e.g., bottles) | Production Rate: 400 units/hour (Industry Standard) Material: Plastic (ISO 1043) | Versatile shapes, cost-effective for hollow items | Non-compostable, energy-intensive, limited to plastic |
Rotational Molding | Thick-walled plastic containers | Production Rate: 100 units/hour (Industry Standard) Material: Plastic (ISO 1043) | Durable, thick-walled products | Slow production, non-compostable, high energy use |
3D Printing | Prototyping/small-batch custom designs | Production Rate: 10 units/hour (Industry Standard) Material: Supports compostable materials (ASTM D6400) | High customization, no molds required, low setup costs | Slow for mass production, costly per unit |
CNC Cutting Machines | Custom cutting of pre-made materials | Production Rate: 200 units/hour (Industry Standard) Precision: ±0.1mm (ISO 2768) | High precision, flexible design adjustments | Limited to pre-cut materials, slower than molding |
