The PU sandwich panel equipment for standard size composite panel production is a complex integrated production system composed of multiple functional units. Each unit undertakes specific production tasks and cooperates closely according to the preset process parameters to ensure the smooth progress of the entire production process. The core of the equipment system is to realize the organic combination of the surface panel and the PU core material, and ensure that the composite panel meets the preset standard size and performance indicators. The main components of the equipment usually include uncoiling system, leveling and shaping device, preheating system, foaming and pouring unit, composite pressing mechanism, cooling setting system, precision cutting equipment, trimming and edge sealing device, and automatic conveying and stacking system. These components are connected through a precise transmission mechanism and controlled by a unified electrical control system, forming a continuous and efficient production line. The design of the equipment fully considers the production characteristics of standard size composite panels, and realizes the precise control of each process link, so as to ensure that the size deviation of the produced panels is within a reasonable range, and the performance is stable and consistent.

The uncoiling system is the starting link of the PU sandwich panel production line, which is mainly used to process the coiled surface panels, such as color steel plates, galvanized plates or aluminum plates. The core function of this system is to stably and smoothly uncoil the coiled materials, and perform preliminary leveling treatment to eliminate the deformation and wrinkles generated during the coiling process. The uncoiling equipment is usually equipped with a tension control device, which can adjust the tension according to the thickness and material characteristics of the surface panel, so as to avoid the damage of the panel caused by excessive tension or the unevenness of the panel caused by insufficient tension. After uncoiling, the surface panel enters the leveling and shaping device, which uses a series of precision rollers to further level the panel and press it into a preset shape, such as corrugated or trapezoidal, to enhance the stiffness and bearing capacity of the panel. For standard size production, the leveling and shaping device is set with fixed parameters, which can ensure that the width and shape of each batch of panels are consistent, laying a foundation for the subsequent composite process.

The preheating system is an important link affecting the bonding quality of PU sandwich panels. Its main function is to preheat the surface panel to an appropriate temperature before the composite process. The preheating temperature is usually determined according to the type of adhesive used and the characteristics of the PU raw material. Proper preheating can improve the fluidity and wettability of the adhesive, enhance the bonding strength between the surface panel and the PU core material, and at the same time promote the foaming reaction of the PU raw material. The preheating system usually adopts infrared heating or hot air heating, which can realize uniform heating of the panel and avoid local overheating or insufficient heating. The temperature control of the preheating system is very precise, and the temperature can be adjusted in real time according to the production speed and the thickness of the panel to ensure the stability of the preheating effect. For standard size production, the preheating parameters are optimized and fixed, which can effectively avoid the quality problems caused by inconsistent preheating conditions.

The foaming and pouring unit is the core part of the PU sandwich panel production equipment, which directly determines the quality of the PU core material. The PU core material is formed by the reaction of isocyanate and polyol, and the foaming and pouring unit needs to accurately mix the two raw materials in a certain proportion and pour them evenly on the surface panel. The key technology of this unit is the precise control of the mixing ratio and pouring amount. The mixing ratio of the raw materials directly affects the density, thermal conductivity and strength of the PU core material, while the pouring amount determines the thickness of the core material, which is an important parameter to ensure the standard size of the composite panel. The foaming and pouring unit is usually equipped with a high-pressure foaming machine, which can realize the uniform mixing of raw materials under high pressure and ensure the fineness and uniformity of the foam. For the production of standard size panels, the pouring amount of the foaming machine is set according to the preset core material thickness, and the pouring speed is synchronized with the production line speed to ensure that the thickness of the core material is consistent along the length direction of the panel. In addition, the pouring device is usually equipped with a uniform distribution mechanism, which can make the raw materials evenly distributed on the surface panel, avoiding the uneven thickness of the core material caused by local accumulation of raw materials.

After the foaming raw materials are poured, the surface panel with the core material enters the composite pressing mechanism together with the upper surface panel. The main function of this mechanism is to apply a certain pressure to the three-layer structure of the upper panel, core material and lower panel, so that the three are closely bonded, and at the same time, the foaming reaction of the PU core material is completed under the condition of controlled temperature and pressure. The composite pressing mechanism is usually a continuous double-track pressing machine, which can realize the continuous pressing of the composite panel. The pressure and temperature of the pressing machine are set according to the characteristics of the PU core material and the surface panel. Proper pressure can ensure the bonding strength between the panel and the core material, and avoid the generation of gaps. The controlled temperature can promote the curing of the PU core material and shorten the production cycle. For standard size production, the pressure and temperature parameters of the composite pressing mechanism are optimized and fixed, which can ensure that the density and bonding strength of the PU core material of each batch of panels are consistent. During the pressing process, the transmission speed of the pressing machine is synchronized with the front and rear processes to ensure the continuity and stability of the production line.

The cooling and setting system is used to cool and shape the composite panel after pressing. After the composite panel comes out of the pressing mechanism, the temperature of the PU core material is still relatively high, and it needs to be cooled to room temperature to complete the final setting. The cooling and setting system usually adopts air cooling or water cooling. Air cooling is suitable for general production occasions, while water cooling has higher cooling efficiency and is suitable for high-speed production lines. The cooling system is designed to ensure uniform cooling of the composite panel, avoiding deformation caused by uneven cooling. After cooling, the composite panel has formed a stable structure, and its size and performance have basically met the preset requirements. For standard size production, the cooling time and cooling temperature are strictly controlled to ensure that the size of the panel after setting is accurate and there is no secondary deformation.

The precision cutting equipment is used to cut the continuous composite panel into standard size panels according to the preset length. The key of this equipment is the precision of cutting. The cutting error directly affects whether the length of the panel meets the standard requirements. The precision cutting equipment usually adopts a CNC cutting machine, which can realize the precise control of the cutting length through the program setting. The cutting machine is equipped with a high-speed cutting blade, which can ensure the flatness of the cutting surface and avoid burrs or cracks. During the cutting process, the cutting machine can automatically track the speed of the production line, realizing synchronous cutting without stopping the line, which ensures the production efficiency. For standard size production, the cutting parameters are set in advance, and the cutting machine can automatically complete the cutting according to the preset length, which greatly reduces the manual operation and improves the cutting accuracy and consistency. After cutting, the panels of standard length enter the trimming and edge sealing device, which trims the edges of the panels to make the width of the panels accurate, and at the same time seals the edges of the panels to improve the waterproof and corrosion resistance of the panels. The edge sealing process usually adopts PU pouring or adhesive bonding, which can ensure the tightness of the edge seal and avoid the moisture entering the core material and affecting the performance of the panel.

The automatic conveying and stacking system is the last link of the production line, which is used to convey the finished standard size panels to the designated position and stack them neatly. The conveying system is composed of a series of rollers or conveyor belts, which can realize the stable conveying of the panels without damaging the surface of the panels. The stacking system usually adopts an automatic stacking machine, which can stack the panels according to the preset number and way. The automatic stacking system not only improves the stacking efficiency, but also ensures the neatness and stability of the stack, which is convenient for subsequent packaging and transportation. For standard size production, the stacking parameters of the stacking machine are set according to the size and weight of the panels, which can adapt to the stacking requirements of different standard size panels.

The PU sandwich panel equipment for standard size composite panel production has the characteristics of high automation, high production efficiency and stable product quality. The high degree of automation of the equipment reduces the manual intervention in the production process, which not only improves the production efficiency, but also avoids the quality problems caused by human factors. The continuous production mode of the production line can realize the mass production of standard size panels, which meets the large demand of the construction and industrial fields for standardized materials. The stable product quality is reflected in the accurate size, consistent performance and good appearance of the produced panels. The precise control of each process link ensures that the size deviation of the panels is within a small range, and the density, thermal conductivity, bonding strength and other performance indicators of the PU core material meet the preset requirements. In addition, the equipment has good flexibility and can adjust the production parameters according to different standard size requirements, realizing the production of multiple standard size panels on one production line, which improves the utilization rate of the equipment.
