Compared with EVA laminating machine, the most significant advantage of the POE laminating machine is a low water vapor transmission rate and high volume resistivity, which ensures the safety and long-term aging resistance of components in high temperature and high humidity environments, and ensures long-term use of components. Specifically, the superior performance of POE film over the EVA film machine is that the POE film machine is a copolymer of ethylene and octene, which is a saturated aliphatic chain structure with fewer carbon atoms in the molecular chain, showing good weather resistance and UV aging resistance. It has excellent heat and low-temperature resistance, so POE film has better aging resistance than EVA film machines.

EVA film(Ethylene):

• Because of the application of solar film, EVA film has good durability to resist high temperatures, ultraviolet rays, moisture, and so on.
• EVA film can store at room temperature. Although long time, the adhesion EVA will not change.
• EVA film’s high adhesion can not only adapt to encapsulation but also dressing in the field.

POE film(polyolefin):

In addition to the characteristics of EVA film, the biggest advantages of the POE film produced are low water vapor transmission rate and high volume resistivity, which ensures the safety and long-term aging resistance of the module under high temperature and high humidity environment. Can be used longer than EVA film. Therefore, the performance of POE film is better than that of EVA film.

POE can replace rubber, flexible PVC, EPDM, EPR, EMA, EVA, TPV, SBC, and LDPE, and other materials, used in different products, such as automotive baffles, flexible conduits, conveyor belts, printing cylinders, sports shoes, wire and cable, auto parts, durable goods, extrusion parts, compression molding parts, sealing materials, pipe fittings and fabric coatings, etc., can also be used as a low-temperature impact modifier to improve the low-temperature impact resistance of PP, and can also be used as a low-temperature impact modifier. It is used in the automotive field as a thermoplastic elastomer.

POE can be processed and formed using common thermoplastic processing equipment. The forming processing temperature and processing pressure should generally be slightly higher and can be processed at extremely high processing speeds. It can be injection molded, extruded, or processed into a sheet or film by a calendar, and can be blow molded, and thermoforming can be used to manufacture products with complex shapes. Various pigments can be added to make different colors as needed.

EVA/POE/EVA film:

EVA/POE/EVA film has three layers, including EVA and POE film advantages and lower cost than POE film.

What are the difficulties in the manufacture of EVA photovoltaic film

EVA photovoltaic film is different from other EVA products and puts forward higher requirements for raw materials, processes and equipment.

1. EVA sensitivity to temperature

One of the biggest characteristics of EVA raw materials is that it is very sensitive to temperature. When the resin is plasticized in the screw, if the temperature is too high or the temperature is too low, the products will be scrapped immediately. The precise control of temperature will directly affect the upper limit of quality of the final product. For this, GWELL Machinery has designed a special screw for EVA, so that EVA can be completely plasticized during the plasticizing process, and there will be no over-plasticization caused by local over-temperature. Not only the temperature is very important in the yield rate of the product, but also the speed of the production line is extremely important. Ten years ago, the EVA photovoltaic film could not have a very high line speed. At that time, the line speed was only 2 meters per meter. In about seconds, after continuous optimization, the speed of the production line has now reached an astonishing 16m/min. It can be said that it is not inferior to the tens of millions of equipment in Germany. This is also an important reason why GWELL has gradually become the leading company in this market in the past ten years.

2. Strict control of winding tension on EVA

Don’t underestimate the influence of the internal stress of EVA photovoltaic film on the quality of photovoltaic film. EVA photovoltaic film is in the hands of downstream module manufacturers. If a film is bulged, the entire module will be scrapped, which is undoubtedly very heavy for module manufacturers. The second reason for this phenomenon is that The internal long force of the EVA film is too large, resulting in excessive stretching. There are strict requirements for the winding tension control of the equipment. The winder of GWELL machinery can strictly control the tension of the product within 20N, which ensures the yield of the product. At the same time, the functions realized by the fully automatic winder developed by GWELL can minimize the waste of products.

EVA, POE photovoltaic film production line

EPE=EVA+POE+EVA is a three-layer co-extruded solar film. Compared with single-layer EVA and POE films, it achieves high performance and saves costs.

General description of the solar film The EVA POE Solar Film Extrusion Line  Machinery Co., Ltd. adopts the casting process to produce EVA POE solar cell encapsulation film. The EVA film production line can also produce POE film at the same time, realizing a dual-purpose machine, and also taking into account the three-layer co-extrusion of EVA, POE, and EVA, which improves the multiple uses of the product and meets the different needs of customers. At present, the main models of film equipment are divided into 160 single machines, 180 single machines, double 160 co-extrusion, double 180 co-extrusion, and 160/180 co-extrusion types.
