Why ChinaEps for This Solution

Engineering specifically tuned for this application — not a generic line.

Higher Density 20-35 kg/m³ for Paint

Decorative trim must accept paint + handling without crushing. We tune pre-expander for higher density than fish box — paint sticks, surface stays smooth.

Long Profile Mold Library

Mold library 20-40 designs lets you produce any classic + custom ornament SKU. Quick-change carts enable 5-10 SKU/day production.

Integrated GL-1200 Coating

Coating is part of the line, not a separate workshop. Reduces buyer overhead + ensures surface finish consistency.

Small-Footprint Line

300-500 m² total — fits in existing furniture / construction factory expansion, no greenfield build.

Utility Consumption Calc

Steam · Air · Cooling Water

Per-equipment + total demand for sizing your boiler, compressor, and cooling tower.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why higher density than fish box?
Decorative trim is painted + handled by installers. Lower density crushes; paint pulls off. 20-35 kg/m³ density gives the right rigidity + paint adhesion. Fish box (16-22 kg/m³) is too soft for this use.
How many design SKUs can I produce?
5-12 SKUs per day per machine via quick mold change (30-45 min). Mold library typically 20-40 designs. Most decorative trim factories run 3-5 popular designs daily.
Why is the cycle slower (60-120s) vs fish box (35-50s)?
Surface ornament + embossing detail need slow steam + slow cool to avoid distortion. Fast cycle = shallow ornament + surface bubbles. Slow cycle = crisp design ready for paint.
Does the GL-1200 coater handle any paint type?
Standard water-based + solvent-based acrylic. Specialty (UV-cured, metallic) requires extra UV / IR drying tunnel. Most customers use standard acrylic for European-style classic finish.
What aging time do I need?
12-36 hours, longer than fish box (6-24h) because surface needs to fully equalize for paint absorption + embossing detail stability.
Can I run cornice + column on the same machine?
Yes via mold change. Cornice mold (50mm × 2m) → swap → column mold (200mm × 2.5m) takes 30-45 min. Recipe library in PLC loads correct steam + cycle for each design.
