Explore our industrial-grade extrusion technologies, engineered for building waterproofing, high-performance films, and multi-layer composites.
Modern building infrastructure demand resilience, lifespan efficiency, and environmental sustainability. In this structural paradigm, roof waterproofing is paramount. Failures in waterproofing systems account for over 70% of building defect litigation worldwide. Consequently, PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) and EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate) waterproof sheets have emerged as preferred polymer membrane technologies for flat roofs, industrial plants, and commercial buildings. The manufacturing systems behind these membranes—the PVC Waterproof Sheet Extrusion Line—requires robust polymer engineering, precise melt-flow control, and high-performance calibration mechanisms to ensure structural properties comply with standards like ASTM D4434 or EN 13956.
Modern PVC waterproofing membranes are engineered composites rather than single-layer films. High-quality systems feature multi-layer co-extrusion technology that embeds a reinforcement core—typically polyester mesh (scrim) or glass fiber—between two layers of PVC sheet. This three-layer configuration yields high dimensional stability, high tensile strength, and excellent resistance to wind uplift and thermal degradation.
Additionally, applying a non-woven fabric backing (fleece) through structural lamination allows the membrane to adhere directly to concrete substrates or polyurethane insulation boards. Gwell's extrusion lines integrate these unwind, lamination, and calibration steps into a single, continuous high-capacity production process.
Optimized conical or parallel twin-screw geometry provides uniform shear stress, preventing the thermal degradation of PVC resin while maximizing throughput.
Advanced T-Dies with automatic gauge adjustment maintain cross-directional thickness profiles within +/- 1% tolerance, saving polymer feedstock.
Integrated unwinding stations and laminators inject polyester reinforcement mesh directly into the molten polymer stream, producing premium reinforced membranes.

China GWELL Machinery combines robust group engineering resources with continuous technological innovation to produce high-performance industrial equipment. Driven by the philosophy that "Expertise creates customers' values," Gwell actively expands its presence in the international market, supplying extrusion machinery to key projects across Europe, North America, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East.
The manufacturing process of PVC waterproof sheet requires precise temperature control, compound formulation homogeneity, and physical sheet shaping. As polymer compounds transition through the extruder, temperature variations as small as 2°C can degrade the flame retardants, plasticizers, and UV stabilizers inside the PVC compound. Gwell's engineering design uses segmented barrels with cooling fans and temperature controllers to protect the polymer matrix throughout the process.
To process highly filled PVC compounds (including calcium carbonate, flame retardants, and liquid plasticizers), we utilize customized conical twin-screw extruders. The design features a large feeding diameter that transitions down to a small discharge diameter, providing deep compression ratios without overheating the material. This ensures low melt temperatures, low shear stresses, and high output rates.
To eliminate pressure surges that cause variations in sheet thickness, a high-efficiency melt pump is installed between the extruder and the T-die. This positive-displacement gear pump provides a steady feed pressure, while a hydraulic screen changer filters out un-plasticized gel particles and impurities, ensuring uniform mechanical properties across the sheet.
The core configuration of the sheet's surface structure occurs at the three-roll calender. We configure rolls with individual oil heating or water cooling channels. Depending on client requirements, we offer vertical, inclined, or L-type calendar configurations. Surface texture profiling (e.g., anti-slip textured roofs) is applied during this stage using a relief pattern engraving roller.
