TPE Sealing Strip Production Equipment Commissioning Successfully Completed

——A New Step Forward in Green & Smart Manufacturing

The commissioning of the company’s newly installed TPE sealing-strip production line was successfully completed today, with every performance indicator meeting or exceeding design targets. The milestone marks a major breakthrough in the field of environmentally friendly sealing materials and lays a solid foundation for large-scale commercial production.

Meticulous Preparation Ensures Smooth Commissioning

To guarantee a flawless start-up, a cross-departmental task force was formed. Prior to commissioning, technicians carried out comprehensive inspections and fine-tuning, covering raw-material preparation, process-parameter setting and quality-control standards. Multiple training sessions on operation and safety were also conducted. During the trial run the line operated stably; parameters remained within tight tolerances and the extruded TPE profiles exhibited smooth surfaces, precise dimensions and outstanding physical properties, fully satisfying quality specifications.

Engineers on site noted that the line adopts advanced single-screw extrusion technology coupled with an intelligent PLC control system, realizing fully automatic and highly accurate production while significantly boosting output and product consistency.

Cutting-Edge Technology Leads the Industry

Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) sealing strips require no vulcanization, making the process cleaner and more energy-efficient than traditional rubber extrusion. The material is 100 % recyclable and complies with national green-development policies. TPE profiles offer excellent low-temperature flexibility (-30 °C) and high-temperature stability (70 °C), low compression set and superior sealing performance, and are already widely used in automobiles, construction, doors & windows, and household appliances.

The newly commissioned equipment offers:

-Productivity several times higher than conventional rubber lines

-Stable product quality thanks to precision tooling and advanced temperature-control systems

-Lower energy consumption and zero vulcanization emissions

-User-friendly operation via Siemens PLC and HMI interface

Rigorous Quality Control, Outstanding Performance

During commissioning the quality-assurance department conducted exhaustive tests. Results showed that key indexes—tensile strength, elongation at break, hardness, compression set, aging resistance and weather ability—either met or surpassed industry norms. The profiles are odor-free, contain no halogens, heavy metals or plasticizes, and can be used outdoors for ten years without cracking.

Because no plasticizes are added, TPE strips eliminate the migration issues sometimes seen in PVC seals, offering a safer, more environmentally friendly solution. The soft-touch surface and excellent aesthetics also improve end-user experience.

Promising Market Outlook, Driving Industrial Upgrade

With tightening environmental regulations and growing consumer awareness, demand for TPE sealing strips continues to rise. Compared with EPDM or PVC equivalents, TPE offers lower processing costs, shorter cycles and full recyclability, making it the development direction of choice for the sealing industry.

Company executives stated that the successful commissioning enhances production capacity and technical capability, providing strong support for further domestic and international market expansion. The firm will continue to increase investment in green materials, optimize processes and elevate product quality to deliver best-in-class sealing solutions.

Continuous Innovation, Pursuit of Excellence

Immediately after the trial run the company held a technical debrief to analyze every detail and formulate improvement measures. The R&D team will deepen its study of TPE processing and applications, develop customized products and meet diverse client needs.

In addition, closer cooperation with universities and research institutes will be sought to introduce further advanced technologies, promote industrial upgrading and product innovation. Through sustained technological progress and quality improvements, the company is determined to become a leading player in the sealing-materials sector and to contribute to the green, smart and high-end development of China’s sealing industry.

The successful commissioning of the TPE sealing-strip production line is not only an important milestone in the company’s history but also tangible proof of its commitment to green development and industrial transformation. Upholding the principle of “Quality First, Customer Foremost,” the company will continue to provide customers with premium, eco-friendly and efficient sealing products and services, jointly forging a brighter future for the sealing-materials industry.
