— Integrated vacuum venting system eliminates separate drying units, reducing capex and floor space
— Twin screw direct extrusion delivers 600-1200 kg/h in standard configurations
— Segmented parallel twin screw design minimizes PET resin degradation
— Optimized heating/cooling and thin-wall calendering rollers reduce power consumption
— Virgin PET, recycled PET flakes (RPET), PETG, and masterbatch blends via multi-component metering
— 0.15-1.5 mm (PET), 0.2-2.0 mm (PETG), flexible width options
Four configurations for different applications
Designed for producing high-transparency PET sheets with excellent appearance and mechanical properties. Widely used in food packaging, medical packaging, and high-end thermoforming products.
Processes recycled PET flakes into quality sheets with integrated melting, filtration, and degassing.
Optimized for applications requiring excellent forming performance, including disposable containers, trays, cups, and packaging products.
The same twin screw extrusion line processes PETG (PET modified with glycol) — an amorphous co-polyester with superior impact resistance, exceptional clarity, and easier thermoforming vs. standard PET. PETG sheets serve medical device packaging, cosmetic packaging, point-of-sale displays, and high-end consumer goods, and home decoration (cabinet panels, wardrobe doors, wall panels, kitchen backsplashes). JWELL's multi-zone temperature control ensures stable processing within PETG's narrow thermal window (230-260 C).

Not all PET materials are the same. Understanding the differences between PETG, APET, CPET, and RPET is essential when choosing the right sheet extrusion solution for your application. Below is a comparison across key technical parameters: IV (Intrinsic Viscosity), melt temperature, mechanical strength, and processing characteristics.
— Measures polymer molecular weight. Higher IV = higher molecular weight = better mechanical properties but harder to process.
Temperature at which the material transitions from rigid to rubbery state.
Temperature at which crystalline regions melt. Amorphous materials (APET, PETG) have no distinct Tm.

• Choose PETG if you need maximum clarity + impact resistance + easy thermoforming (medical, cosmetic, display, home decoration)
• Choose APET if you need food-grade clarity at lower cost for standard packaging (trays, blisters, clamshells)
• Choose CPET if your sheets must withstand microwave/oven temperatures (meal trays, airline catering)
• Choose RPET if sustainability and cost are priorities, with acceptable clarity/toughness trade-offs
Features — Transparent, good gloss, easy to process. Relatively weak heat resistance and impact resistance compared to CPET.
Applications — Mainly used for food packaging — beverage bottles, food boxes, blister products (blister shells, trays, clamshell containers). Ideal for applications requiring crystal-clear visibility of the packaged product.
Features — Made from recycled PET bottle flakes/flakes. Environmentally friendly, reduces demand for virgin PET. Lower carbon footprint, supports circular economy goals. Mechanical properties slightly lower than virgin PET but sufficient for most packaging applications.
Applications — New bottles (bottle-to-bottle recycling), containers, packaging materials, textile fibers, strapping, sheet extrusion for thermoformed packaging.
Features — Glycol modification gives PETG superior toughness and impact resistance. Better heat resistance than APET, excellent thermoforming properties, crystal-clear transparency. No crystallization issues — easier to process, no drying required. Can be bonded, die-cut, and printed easily.
Applications — Medical device packaging (sterile trays), electronic product packaging, POS display racks, cosmetic packaging, home decoration panels (cabinet doors, wall panels), labels and signage, high-end folding cartons.
Features — Achieved through nucleation and controlled crystallization. High heat resistance — withstands microwave and conventional oven temperatures (up to 220 C). Opaque appearance (typically white or black). Excellent dimensional stability at elevated temperatures. Higher mechanical strength than amorphous variants.
Applications — Dual-ovenable meal trays (microwave + oven), airline meal containers, frozen food packaging, ready-meal trays. The go-to material when heat resistance is non-negotiable.
