Home > News > Company NewsCompany News In the competitive world of plastic extrusion, standing still means falling behind. For manufacturers of polypropylene (PP) corrugated sheets (also known as hollow sheets or fluted boards), the pressure to lower production costs while increasing throughput has never been higher.
Enter Wuhan Handern Machinery Co., Ltd. – a company that doesn’t just follow trends; it sets them. After a year of dedicated R&D, Handern has launched its revolutionary 5th Generation PP Hollow Sheet Extrusion Line. This isn’t a minor facelift; it is a complete re-engineering of the PP corrugated sheet making machine.
If you are looking to upgrade your production line or establish a new facility, here is why the new 5th Gen model makes the 4th generation obsolete.
We know that talk is cheap in the machinery industry. That is why Handern provides hard data. When comparing the new 5th Generation machine to the previous 4th generation model, the results are undeniable:
↓ 30% Electricity Savings: The new servo-driven systems and optimized screw design reduce friction and heat waste. You save nearly a third of your power bill immediately.
↑ 50% Increase in Production: Faster screw speeds combined with a more efficient cooling calibration table mean you produce significantly more sheet per hour without sacrificing quality.
↓ 2 Fewer People per 24 Hours: Automation is the name of the game. The 5th Gen line simplifies the control system, reducing the need for manual intervention. You can run a full shift with two fewer operators, saving you tens of thousands of dollars in labor costs annually.
One of the biggest headaches for PP sheet manufacturers is the cost of raw materials (filler). Handern has solved this with an eco-industrial breakthrough.
The upgraded, newly developed Phosphogypsum PP Hollow Sheet Extrusion Line allows you to utilize industrial solid waste (phosphogypsum) as a filler.
What does this mean for you?
Lower Raw Material Costs: You reduce the amount of pure PP filling required, significantly cutting your Bill of Materials (BOM).
Solve Waste Problems: Effectively turn industrial solid waste into a valuable revenue stream.
Green Credentials: Market your sheets as environmentally friendly, utilizing recycled industrial byproducts.
Traditionally, manufacturers have relied on a two-step process: extrude pellets, cool them, cut them, then re-extrude them into sheets. This is inefficient.
Handern invented the global-first one-step manufacturing process.
No Pelletizing Required: Go directly from powder or recycled flakes to finished corrugated sheet.
Shorter Line Length: Because we removed the intermediate steps, the pp corrugated sheet making machine line is physically shorter.
Smaller Factory Footprint: A shorter line means you need less plant floor space. You can either lower your real estate costs or fit more lines into your existing facility.
Innovation is great, but reliability is better. Wuhan Handern doesn’t just sell prototypes; they sell proven workhorses.
Did you know? Handern has the highest global sales volume annually for PP hollow sheet extrusion lines. Currently, there are over 2,000 lines running stably in the field. When you buy a Handern machine, you aren’t taking a risk; you are copying the market leaders.
The PP Corrugated Sheet Making Machine from Handern is designed for versatility. It produces sheets used for:
Automotive parts packaging
Greenhouse roofing
Signage and hoardings
Industrial dividers and returnable packaging
Stationery folders (PP board)
In a market flooded with generic extruders, Handern stands out because they focus on Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) .
Energy: 30% cheaper to run.
Labor: 2 fewer staff per shift.
Material: Cheaper fillers (Phosphogypsum).
Space: Shorter footprint.
Process: One-step (no pelletizing).
The plastic sheet industry is a margin game. If your current line requires more electricity, more people, and more floor space to produce less product, you are losing money to your competitors.
Wuhan Handern’s 5th Generation PP Corrugated Sheet Making Machine is the solution for the modern manufacturer. With 2000+ happy customers and a track record of 50% increased production, the choice is clear.
