Company Profile & Infrastructure

Wenzhou Yicai Machinery Technology Co., LTD. — Manufacturing Excellence Since 2010

The modern machinery sector requires high-level technical support, including advanced engineering design, complex manufacturing workflows, and precision automation. Wenzhou Yicai Machinery Technology Co., LTD. (formerly known as "Ruian Seven Star Machinery") has met these industrial needs since its foundation in 2010. In 2022, the company consolidated its operations under its current name, expanding its facility in Zhejiang Province, one of China's coastal manufacturing hubs.

Operating a dedicated 3,000 m² production facility, Yicai Machinery has built a complete processing setup that includes raw material inspection, structural fabrication, precision welding, system assembly, and trial testing. Our experienced engineering team develops production solutions designed to improve throughput and efficiency for our partners.

Our Primary Product Lineup Includes:

  • Multi-Layer Co-Extrusion Systems: Engineered for high-output sheet processing of PP, PS, PET, and barrier materials like EVOH.
  • Thermoforming Machinery: High-speed positive and negative pressure machines for cup, tray, and container production.
  • Industrial Curved Offset Printers: High-speed multicolour printing systems for cups, buckets, and lids.
  • Custom Thermoforming Molds: Engineered with integrated cooling channels for fast cycling and consistent parts.

As the global market places greater emphasis on circular economy practices and energy efficiency, Yicai Machinery is focused on developing systems that process post-consumer recycled materials (like RPET) and bio-based plastics (like PLA). We integrate reliable mechanical setups with automated control systems to ensure long-term durability and operational efficiency.

B2B Whitepaper: Engineering Plastic Sheet Extrusion Systems for Global Markets


1. Global Procurement Requirements & Material Trends

Modern B2B purchasers require extrusion systems that offer material flexibility and precise thickness control. Global regulations require manufacturers to shift away from single-use plastics toward high-performance co-extruded structures and circular plastics. High-barrier materials containing EVOH, APET/RPET structures, and bio-based plastics like PLA are increasingly used in food, pharmaceutical, and industrial packaging.

To meet these requirements, buyers need multi-layer extrusion systems with specialized screw profiles, stable melt flow control, and automated thickness adjustments. These systems must be designed to process materials with different melting points and viscosity indexes without causing thermal degradation.

2. Technical Roadmap: Extrusion Screw Kinetics and Control Integration

The efficiency of a sheet extrusion system depends on screw design and temperature control. Our equipment is engineered with specific technical configurations:

  • Screw Design & L/D Ratio: We utilize high-grade nitrided steel screws (38CrMoAlA) with L/D ratios of 30:1 to 33:1. This design ensures consistent plasticization and uniform melt temperatures, even at high output rates.
  • Precision Heating and Cooling: Multi-zone heating elements paired with active fan-assisted cooling systems maintain barrel temperatures within ±1°C, preventing degradation of heat-sensitive materials.
  • Melt Pump & Screen Changer Integration: Hydraulic screen changers and positive-displacement melt pumps stabilize pressure at the T-die, reducing gauge variation and ensuring uniform sheet quality.

3. Multi-Layer Co-Extrusion & Downstream Integration

Producing complex packaging sheets requires multi-layer structures, such as A-B-A or A-B-C layouts, where recycled core materials (regrind) are encapsulated between layers of virgin polymer. This setup preserves surface printability and food-contact compliance while lowering overall material costs. Our feedblocks and adjustable T-dies allow operators to control layer ratios and maintain consistent product properties across the entire sheet width.

4. Energy Efficiency & Operational Reliability

Because extrusion is an energy-intensive process, our lines feature variable frequency drive (VFD) motors, high-efficiency heating bands, and structured calender cooling systems. These components reduce power consumption per ton of processed material. High-torque planetary gearboxes handle continuous mechanical loads with minimal maintenance requirements.

Industrial Applications

High-quality packaging products produced with our sheet extrusion and thermoforming lines.

Technical FAQ & Troubleshooting Guide

Expert insights addressing common engineering queries regarding plastic sheet extrusion machinery.

1. What materials are compatible with Yicai Sheet Extruders?
Our extrusion lines are configured to process polymers such as PP, PS, PE, PET, and PLA. By using specialized screw geometries and multi-layer feedblocks, they can also run co-extruded barrier layers (like EVOH) to meet technical B2B packaging specifications.
2. How does the multi-layer co-extrusion system improve profit margins?
Multi-layer systems (such as A-B-A or A-B-C structures) allow you to use recycled material (regrind) in the center layer while maintaining virgin polymer on the outer layers. This configuration maintains product strength, printability, and food safety standards while reducing overall raw material costs.
3. What thickness ranges can your sheet extruders achieve?
Our standard lines produce sheet thicknesses from 0.2 mm to 2.0 mm, which are suitable for downstream thermoforming. For specific industrial applications, custom setups can be designed to produce thicker rigid sheets.
4. How is sheet thickness uniformity managed during high-speed output?
Uniformity is maintained by combining a positive-displacement melt pump, which ensures consistent pressure, with fine-tuning bolts on the T-die. This combination reduces thickness variation across the width of the sheet, even at high output rates.
5. What post-purchase support and installation services do you provide?
We provide complete installation support, including plant layout planning, on-site machinery calibration, operator training, and ongoing spare parts availability. Remote PLC diagnostics are also available to resolve control system queries quickly.
