Different products require different working ranges.
600 × 350 × 100 mm
750 × 450 × 100 mm
950 × 500 × 100 mm
The working area should be selected according to the product size and mold dimensions.
Dispensing Speed
Production efficiency depends on dispensing and movement speed as well as product complexity.
Some configurations can reach speeds of up to 600 mm/s, with dispensing frequency up to 50 cycles/s, depending on operating conditions.
Program Storage
For customized production, program storage can also be important.
A 2 GB memory card can store up to 65,536 production files, allowing operators to save and switch between different product programs.
Mechanical Stability
The motion system should remain stable during continuous operation.
Servo components, bearings, transmission systems and machine frame construction all contribute to long-term positioning performance.
12 vs 18 vs 24 Colors: Which Is Better?
There is no universal answer.
A 12-color machine can be the better choice for standard products with limited color requirements.
An 18-color machine may be more suitable for manufacturers with a wider range of product designs.
A 24-color machine can provide greater flexibility for complex multi-color and customized products.
Therefore, machine selection should be based on product complexity, current color requirements, production volume and future product plans rather than color capacity alone.
Zhenying Machines manufactures automated PVC and silicone processing equipment for soft PVC product manufacturers.
Its Multi Color 3D PVC Keychain Automatic Dispensing Machine can be configured with 12, 18 or 24 colors according to different production requirements. The equipment is designed for applications including 3D PVC keychains, toys, badges, labels, shoe patches and other customized soft PVC products.
Depending on the configuration, manufacturers can also select different working ranges and production specifications.
Zhenying Machines provides a complete production solution that can include:
- Automatic dispensing equipment
- Customized molds
- Raw material support
- Technical training
- Production process guidance
This approach allows manufacturers to select equipment according to their actual products instead of simply choosing the largest configuration.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a 24-color PVC dispensing machine better than a 12-color machine?
Not necessarily. A 24-color machine provides greater color capacity, but a 12-color machine may be more practical if the products normally require fewer colors.
How do I choose between 12, 18 and 24 colors?
Consider the maximum number of colors used in your products, product complexity, order variety and future production plans.
Can a 12-color machine make 3D PVC keychains?
Yes. If the product design requires 12 or fewer colors, a 12-color system can be suitable for 3D PVC keychain production.
What other specifications should I consider?
Working area, positioning accuracy, dispensing speed, program storage, material compatibility and mechanical stability should also be evaluated.
Which configuration is best for customized PVC products?
For frequently changing and highly detailed designs, an 18- or 24-color configuration can provide greater flexibility. The final choice should depend on actual product requirements.
Key Takeaways
- 12, 18 and 24-color PVC dispensing machines provide different levels of color capacity.
- 12 colors can suit standard multi-color products.
- 18 colors provide additional flexibility for more complex designs.
- 24 colors are useful for highly detailed and frequently customized products.
- More colors do not automatically mean better production performance.
- Positioning accuracy, working area, speed and program storage are also important.
- The best machine is the one that matches your current products and future production plans.
