Project
The JWELL JWS150+JWS65 ABS/HIPS co-extrusion sheet line is purpose-built for high-quality thermoplastic sheet production serving the refrigerator and white goods industry. With a rated output of 1,200 kg/h and a 750 mm sheet width, this line delivers consistent thickness, excellent surface finish, and reliable multi-layer structure — meeting the stringent demands of thermoforming applications for refrigerator inner liners, door panels, and freezer compartments.
In 2026, JWELL successfully completed the Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) for a JWS150+JWS65 ABS/HIPS co-extrusion sheet extrusion line ordered by a Belarus state-owned refrigerator manufacturer. The trial run achieved smooth startup, stable melt extrusion, and uniform sheet thickness across the full 750 mm width — all performance indicators met or exceeded the contractual specifications.
The FAT was witnessed by the customer’s technical delegation, who confirmed the line’s readiness for shipment and installation. The project marks JWELL’s first direct delivery to a Belarusian state-owned enterprise in the white goods sector.
Project snapshot:
The Belarus state-owned refrigerator factory operates under stringent quality and reliability standards typical of Eastern European state-owned manufacturers. The customer required a production line capable of consistent, high-volume sheet output while maintaining flexibility across multiple resin types.
The JWS150+JWS65 co-extrusion configuration pairs a 150mm main extruder with a 65mm co-extruder, enabling multi-layer sheet structures with a primary structural layer and a functional surface layer. This architecture is ideal for refrigerator applications where a virgin resin top layer ensures surface quality while the core layer can incorporate cost-optimized or recycled material.
The JWS150 single-screw extruder serves as the primary melt provider, delivering a stable and homogeneous melt stream at 1,200 kg/h rated output. Its optimized screw geometry ensures thorough plasticization of ABS and HIPS resins across a wide processing window.
The JWS65 co-extruder feeds the secondary layer through a dedicated T-die manifold, enabling A/B multi-layer sheet structures. This allows the customer to apply a premium virgin resin surface layer while optimizing the core layer for cost efficiency.
The three-roll calender system ensures precise thickness control and surface finish across the full 750 mm width. The haul-off unit, edge trimmer, and stacking system complete the downstream line for continuous production.
The ABS/HIPS sheets produced on this line serve a broad range of thermoforming and industrial applications, primarily in the white goods and consumer appliance sectors.
The primary application. ABS and HIPS sheets are vacuum-formed into refrigerator interior liners requiring excellent impact resistance, low-temperature durability, and smooth surface finish for food-grade contact compliance.
HIPS sheets are used for door panel inserts and trim components, where rigidity, dimensional stability, and aesthetic surface quality are critical.
HIPS sheets provide the necessary low-temperature impact resistance for freezer interior linings, maintaining structural integrity at -18°C and below.
The same ABS sheet quality is transferable to automotive interior trim, door panels, and dashboard substrates — expanding the line’s versatility beyond white goods.
HIPS sheets from this line can serve general-purpose thermoforming applications including food packaging trays, disposable containers, and protective packaging inserts.
Expanding into Eastern European state-owned enterprise sector. This project represents JWELL’s successful entry into the Belarusian white goods manufacturing supply chain. By delivering a proven, high-capacity extrusion line to a state-owned refrigerator factory, JWELL establishes a reference installation that can catalyze further adoption across the CIS and Eastern European region. The FAT success demonstrates JWELL’s ability to meet the documentation, quality, and technical standards required by state-owned procurement processes.
Validating the JWS150+JWS65 configuration at production scale. The FAT confirmed that the 150+65 co-extrusion configuration delivers stable 1,200 kg/h output with excellent thickness uniformity across 750 mm width — validating this architecture as a reliable solution for mid-capacity refrigerator sheet production. This adds another proven data point to JWELL’s extensive installation base.
