How to Optimize your Production of Plastic Pallets ?
Pallet is regarded as an important tool in the storage and transporting industry. Compared to wooden pallets, the market of plastic pallets is expected to increase massively. Based on latest business news (Strait Research), the global plastic pallet market size market was valued at USD 7,165 million in 2021. By 2030, it is predicted to reach USD 18,207 million with a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period (2022-2030). With more and more manufacturing invested in plastic pallets, how to optimize your plastic pallet manufacturing process becomes important. In this article, we provide 3 ways to improve your production of plastic pallets.
Why is Plastic Pallet the Best Choice for a Sustainable Future?
The features of plastic pallets are more durable, lightweight, and hygienic, which are making them a better choice for companies looking to raise efficiency of storage and transporting, saving their production cost and reducing the environmental impact.
3 Ways to Improve Your Plastic Pallet Manufacturing
Plastic pallets are an essential part of any warehouse or distribution center. They're used for storing and transporting goods, but they also have to be easy to use and maintain. That's why it's important to optimize your production of plastic pallets.

Today, not only consumers but also manufacturers put more and more focus on environmental issues. Moreover, based on a McKinsey & Company report, the global pandemic has increased the urgency of pursuing sustainability in retail. Especially for some worldwide enterprises, who claim to take responsibility to develop a sustainable economy. Therefore, recycled plastic pallets would be a great choice.
Using recycled material or adding specific percentage into material is a common way to produce recycled plastic pallets. It can bring sustainability and circularity to business. Nowadays, around 90% of pallets are manufactured with recycled plastic materials, which include HDPP, PP, PE, HDPE and others. However, using 100% recycled materials or adding crushed recycled materials needs to be aware of product quality, which might cause defects in the appearance of the product.
Another way to keep it sustainable is using servo motors to replace traditional motors. Moreover, with an electric plasticizing system, the machine can save even more. Based on our experience, the injection molding machine with servo motor and electric plasticizing system can save at least 50% energy. Also, it could raise efficiency and decrease product cycle time.
The product cycle time is a key performance in plastic pallet production. Manufacturers put lots of efforts to improve productive efficiency and reduce cycle time. One of the important factors is the conformity of mold and injection molding machines. Especially for big or thick products, the cooling system of mold could waste a lot of time. Through adjusting the water loop design of mold, it could decrease mold cooling time then shorten the cycle time. Take one of CLF's successful experiences as an example, our 3500 TPII machine can produce one 11kg-plastic pallet in 90 seconds.
The two-platen injection molding machine is the best solution for plastic pallet production. Due to the advantages of high stability, high customization flexibility, molding changing flexibility, high performance and space-saving , 80% of our customers who purchased TPII series are willing to keep investing.
So if you're a plastic pallets manufacturer or want to turn into one, or considering investing in different equipment, please refer to more key specifications of outward toggle type injection molding machines. Unlike other machines in the same category, we provide you with full technical support and reliable after-sales service for any extras parts outside of the standard package. In that way, we can jointly promote green production of plastic pallets!
