Customer Pain Points

Problem Customer Faced

For Business (B2B)

Inability of Production Efficiency to Meet Market Demand?

Existing production lines are slow, lowly automated, with high failures and downtime, yielding insufficient output. They can't handle surging orders or rapid new launches, bottlenecking growth. Symptoms: slow cycles, poor machine coordination, heavy manual intervention.

High Energy Consumption and Maintenance Costs of Traditional Equipment?

Older equipment uses inefficient drives (pneumatic, high-power motors) and wear-prone structures, wasting electricity and air. Frequent repairs raise costs for parts, technicians, and services, keeping maintenance expenses high.

High Defect Rate Caused by Poor Equipment Stability?

Poor accuracy, complex setups, and fluctuations cause defects: inaccurate filling, loose caps, misaligned labels, bad seals, damaged film. High defects waste materials, add rework labor, raise costs, and damage brand reputation.

For B2C Clients

Large Equipment Footprint, Cannot Fit in the Workspace?

Traditional equipment prioritizes function, resulting in bulky designs. SMEs and creators face limited workshop/studio space; oversized machines can't fit or encroach on operations, preventing automated production implementation.

Difficulty Achieving Small-Batch Production?

Large lines suit mass single-item production but require lengthy, labor-intensive changeovers. SMEs need frequent switches for varied, small-batch products; replacing molds and adjusting parameters takes hours, with high costs, unfit for flexible manufacturing.

Complex Equipment Operation Requires Specialized Skills

Complex interfaces with jargon intimidate users, demanding extensive training. SMEs lack engineers, facing high costs, operational risks, and reliance on external support for issues.

How To Choose

How to Choose Your Machine: What You Need to Know

1. What are the characteristics of your powder material?

This is the foundation for selecting the right equipment. Is your powder a dry loose powder, or a wet powder containing oils? The material's flowability, particle size, specific gravity, and adhesiveness are the core key factors.
(1) Flowability: Determines the filling method. Powders with poor flowability require ultrasonic vibration compaction or mechanical stirring devices to ensure uniform filling, otherwise issues like uneven filling, unstable weight, or pressed compact cracking are highly likely.
(2) Particle Size and Composition: Does the powder contain mica, pearl powder, or large particles? This affects its compression characteristics and the wear on equipment materials, helping us recommend the most suitable pump types, mold steel grades, and surface treatment processes.

2. What are the mold specifications and shape requirements for your powder compact?

What shape of compact do you want to produce? Round, square, irregular (e.g., shell, flower), or complex 3D embossed patterns?
(1) Shape and Size: This directly determines the choice of upper punch, lower punch, and die mold. Simple round molds are low-cost and easy to change, while complex irregular molds require higher design and manufacturing precision.
(2) Embossing and Logo: Do you need to frequently change the surface pattern? Does the equipment support quick upper punch changes for flexible embossing switching? Defining these needs in advance helps us configure the most cost-effective and efficient mold solution for you.
SICI possesses an extensive mold library and design experience, enabling us to handle various complex shapes and embossing requirements.

3. What is the required fill rate?

What is your expectation for production speed? Is it for flexible production of new product R&D and small batches of multiple varieties, or for high-volume, continuous output of a single product?
Defining your target production efficiency (e.g., compacts/hour) is the key basis for choosing between a single-station press or a multi-station rotary press. Speed is closely related to the precision requirements for compact pressing pressure and dwell time. Clear objectives help us find the optimal balance between output and quality.

4. What level of automation do you need for the machine?

How much manual intervention do you anticipate in the production process?
(1) Semi-Automatic: Manual loading, automatic pressing by the machine, manual unloading. Suitable for small batches and the R&D stage.
(2) Fully Automatic: Unmanned operation throughout the entire process, from automatic filling, pressing, ejection, online weighing/vision inspection, to automatic cartoning.
Your choice should be based on long-term production plans, budget, and product consistency requirements. SICI can provide everything from single machines to smart integrated lines with quality inspection and packaging, meeting different levels of automation needs.

5.What is the size of your available floor space?

Space is a valuable resource. Understanding the dimensions and layout of your planned equipment placement site is crucial for machine selection.
Is it a space-limited laboratory or cleanroom, or a spacious industrial plant? This determines whether we recommend a compact benchtop press or can design a linear or U-shaped integrated line layout. SICI's equipment features a modular design, allowing flexible adaptation to your space constraints and enabling efficient workflow.

6.Do you require a customized machine?

Can a standard machine meet your needs? Or do you have special requirements, for example:
(1) Special Processes: Is two-layer/two-color pressing required? Is pre-pressing before main pressing needed? Is online connection to a curing process necessary?
(2) Special Functions: Is nitrogen purging required to prevent oil oxidation? Is 100% metal detection needed? Is a vision system for surface defect inspection required?
Customization means the equipment will be entirely designed and manufactured according to your unique process. SICI offers both proven standard machines and highly flexible customization services, ensuring the final solution perfectly realizes your product vision.
