Process Principle
PET sheet melt spinning → continuous filament air stretching → swaying filament laying → pre-needling + main needling for consolidation → heat setting → edge trimming and winding, obtaining three-dimensional filament needled felt, and delivering it to the molding process to manufacture battery underbody shield plates.
Production Line Equipment Composition
- Raw material transportation and drying system: PET sheet storage bin, transportation, crystallization drying (PET must be fully dried to prevent filament breakage during spinning)
- Extrusion and melt filtration: Screw extruder, melt filter, static mixer, ensuring stable melt pressure and temperature
- Spinning box + spinneret: Double-row spinning components, producing continuous PET filaments
- Air stretching system: Slit/tube high-speed air stretching, stretching filaments to enhance fiber orientation and strength (core unit for underbody shields)
- Cooling + swaying filament laying device: Side wind cooling with swaying mechanism that randomly lays filaments into an even fiber net, controlling surface density uniformity
- Needling unit (pre-needling + main needling): Pre-needling for initial entanglement and fiber net fixation; main needling for high-density needling to enhance thickness, tear resistance, and puncture resistance
- Heat setting machine: Eliminates internal stress, stabilizes dimensions, and controls molding shrinkage rate (critical for battery shield plates)
- Storage, edge trimming, tension control
- Automatic winding machine + online thickness/weight detection
- PLC centralized control system: Integrated control of temperature, pressure, speed, and stretching air pressure throughout the production line
