Foam net covers can be used for packaging of fruits, vegetables, flower buds and bottles. Our company has many years of practical experience and professional engineers and technicians, we developed many different sizes and specifications of nets according to market demand.
The EPE foam net extrusion line can produce 700,000-1.2 million Apple nets every 24 hours. The driving motor adopts frequency control. It has advantages of high speed regulation accuracy, low energy consumption and reliable operation.
The power consumption is about 18kwh per hour which can save 50% of electricity, and output is increased more than 30%. In addition, the production line can produce foamed sheets, foamed tubes, foamed rods, foamed strips and profiled materials by changing different die heads and auxiliary machine parts.
Foaming net products are made from low-density polyethylene (LDPE) as raw materials, butane gas (or LPG) as a foaming agent, monoglycerine (GMS) as an anti-shrinkage agent as well as other auxiliary materials.
1 ton of raw materials plus butane gas and auxiliary materials can produce more than 1 ton of products. 36 hours of production can make one ton of raw material, the profit is quite good.
The following is an analysis of the profit of the product: ( for making 1 ton of LDPE material based on the price of raw materials in the market at this time)
LDPE material：about 1190USD/ton
Butane Gas：250kg x 0.86 USD/kg=215 USD
GMS：20-25kgx0.97 USD/kg=24USD
Talcum Powder：2-4kgx0.14USD/kg=0.56USD
Electricity：500kwhx0.14 USD/kwh=70USD
Labor: 36 hours(3 shifts, 12 hours per shift) for making 1 ton of material, two workers for one shift, payment for one labor one shift is 18USD, so the labor cost is 18x6=108USD.
Total：1190+215+24+0.56+70+108=1607USD
One ton of material can make 1.1 tons of foam nets. If we pack 1kg of fruit nets as one bag, then we can get 1100 bags of nets. The sales price of one bag is 2.9USD, so we can get 1100 bags x2.9USD=3190USD. The profit is 3190-1607=1583 USD.
