The processing accuracy of its precision forming mold can reach 0.01mm, which can ensure that the occlusion error of the lock does not exceed 0.1mm, avoiding problems such as warping and gaps after floor installation.

In addition, its "bio-based raw material compatible system" can be adapted to environmentally friendly raw materials mixed with PVC and plant fibers, meeting the European "E0 level environmental standard" (formaldehyde emission ≤ 0.124mg/m³). It is the core equipment supplier of high-end European SPC floor brands (such as Quick-Step and Pergo).

TOP 7 Tongda Machinery, China - "Specialized, Refined, Characteristic and Novel" in Segmented Fields

Tongda Machinery is a "specialized, refined, characteristic and novel small giant" enterprise in the domestic SPC floor equipment field. Although its scale is not as large as that of Jinwei and Liansu, it is unique in thin SPC floor equipment. The thickness of traditional SPC floors is mostly 4-6mm, while its developed production line can stably produce 2-3mm thin SPC floors, and the flatness error of the plates is ≤ 0.2mm/m, meeting the demand for "light, thin and beautiful" in high-end commercial spaces (such as office buildings and hotels).

To solve the problem that thin plates are easy to break, Tongda Machinery innovatively adopts the "three-layer co-extrusion" technology: the surface layer is a wear-resistant layer, the middle layer is a reinforced base material layer, and the bottom layer is a buffer layer. Through the precise temperature control and composite process of the equipment, the flexural strength of the thin floor reaches 15MPa (far exceeding the industry standard of 10MPa). At present, 70% of the products in the domestic thin SPC floor market are produced by its equipment.

TOP 8 JSW (Japan Steel Works), Japan - A "Japanese-Style Benchmark" for Stability and Durability

The "stability" of Japanese-style equipment is fully reflected in JSW's SPC floor production line. The core components (screw and barrel) of its single-screw extruder are made of imported Japanese alloy materials, and after special heat treatment, their service life can reach 30,000 hours (the average domestic equipment is 15,000-20,000 hours), reducing the equipment replacement cost for enterprises.

At the same time, JSW's equipment has strong adaptability to raw materials: even if "highly filled raw materials" with calcium powder content as high as 70% (which can reduce production costs) are used, it can still maintain stable extrusion and avoid equipment blockage caused by many impurities in raw materials. This feature makes it popular in the Southeast Asian market where the quality of raw materials fluctuates greatly.
