Wood Plastic Composite (WPC) Production Line and Factory Setup

A Wood Plastic Composite (WPC) production line is an integrated industrial system designed to mix wood powder, polymer and additives, extrude profiles through a twin-screw extruder, cool, cut and package finished WPC profiles. The line produces durable outdoor profiles for decking, fencing, window frames and outdoor furniture.

From an industrial perspective, WPC manufacturing is important because it combines precise mixing of wood flour (typically 60–80 %), polymer (HDPE, PP or PVC) and additives, controlled melting and extrusion at 170–200 °C, cooling and cutting to produce profiles with consistent cross-section and weather resistance. The process relies on a defined sequence of unit operations that must be correctly engineered and integrated.

Primary raw materials typically include wood powder, polymer granules (HDPE/PP/PVC), adhesives, colorants and stabilizers. Core machinery consists of mixers (500–1000 L), twin-screw extruders (screw diameter 65–92 mm, power 75–110 kW), cooling tanks, cutters and packaging machines. Typical capacity 150–400 kg/h.

The Industrial Department supports investors establishing a new WPC factory as well as existing plant owners requiring repair, overhaul, capacity expansion or automation of current lines. Projects can start from an empty site or from an operating facility that needs technical upgrading.

Whether the goal is a green-field turnkey WPC plant in Iraq, Kurdistan Region, Afghanistan or other regional markets, or the modernization of an existing line in Iran, engineering, machinery supply or manufacturing, installation, commissioning and ongoing technical support can be provided under defined contractual scopes.

Production Line Overview

The WPC production line is engineered as an integrated process system covering raw-material mixing, twin-screw extrusion, cooling, cutting and packaging. Design capacity is determined during the engineering phase and can typically range from 150 to 400 kg/h depending on final product mix and market requirements.

Product types include decking, fencing, window frames and outdoor furniture profiles. The overall process flow follows a defined sequence: mixing of wood powder, polymer and additives; extrusion through twin-screw extruder; cooling; cutting to length; packaging.

Main machinery groups include mixers, twin-screw extruders, cooling tanks, cutters and packaging machines. Supporting infrastructure covers electrical power and process water.

Manpower requirements depend on the degree of automation. Quality control covers profile dimensions, surface quality and packaging integrity. Finished profiles are stored under protected conditions before distribution.

Products

An industrial WPC production line can manufacture decking, fencing, window frames and outdoor furniture profiles of various cross-sections and colors according to market requirements.

Raw Materials for WPC Factory

Raw material selection and quality control are critical for profile strength and weather resistance. The main materials used are described below.

Main Raw Materials

  • Wood powder (60–80 %) – Provides the wood-like appearance and feel.
  • Polymer granules (HDPE, PP or PVC) – Bind the composite and provide durability.
  • Adhesives, colorants, stabilizers – Improve bonding, appearance and UV resistance.

Secondary / Optional Materials

  • Packaging materials and cartons

Storage and handling conditions must be controlled to preserve material quality and prevent moisture uptake in wood powder.

Manufacturing Process

The industrial WPC process follows a defined sequence of unit operations.

  1. Mixing – Wood powder, polymer and additives are mixed in a mixer to a homogeneous blend.
  2. Extrusion – The blend is melted and shaped in a twin-screw extruder at 170–200 °C and forced through a die to form the desired profile.
  3. Cooling – The extruded profile is cooled in a cooling tank to solidify.
  4. Cutting – The continuous profile is cut to standard lengths.
  5. Packaging – Finished profiles are packaged.

Machinery & Equipment

Each main machine performs a specific function. Support is available for design, manufacturing or procurement, customization, installation, commissioning, repair, overhaul, refurbishment, automation and spare-parts supply according to the agreed project scope.
