Is there a single PP mat making machine?

No. A woven PP mat is made by a line of machines, not by one machine. Six of them are needed if you buy warp yarn in: a straw extruder, a warping machine, a jacquard weaving machine, a heat cutting machine, an edge sewing machine and a hydraulic baling press. A seventh, a monofilament yarn extruder, is added only if you want to make the warp yarn yourself. People searching for a mat making machine usually mean the jacquard loom, because that is the machine that actually forms the mat.

How much power does each machine need?

As printed in our catalogue: the LG55 straw extruder has a 7.5 kW main motor and 15 kW of heating, for a total of 23.5 kW on the LG55/2 and 24.5 kW on the LG55/4; the ZJ-2000 warping machine has a 4 kW main motor; each XY-KTC loom is 1.5 to 2.25 kW depending on its width; the XY-QDJ heat cutter has 6 kW of heating; and the GC3720 sewing machine runs on 220 V at 50 to 60 Hz. A monofilament line, if you add one, has 75 to 100 kW installed.

What is the total installed power of a complete line?

We do not publish one, because it depends on a number only you know. The catalogue gives power per machine, and a line can have one loom or several fed by the same straw extruder. Count the machines you are actually buying, add the per-machine figures above for that count, and allow for the two machines with no published figures. Send us your planned output and we will tell you the machine count your line needs.

How much floor space do the machines take?

The catalogue prints installed size for four machines: the ZJ-2000 warping machine at 2800 x 2100 x 1000 mm, the XY-KTC loom at 1200 mm deep and 2100 mm high with a length of 3950 to 7850 mm depending on the model, the XY-QDJ heat cutter at 4000 x (2200 to 3200) x 1000 mm, and the SJ-YS monofilament line at 26 to 32 m long by 1.7 x 1.7 m. No installed size is printed for the straw extruder, the sewing machine or the baling press.

Which figure decides the layout first?

The mat width you intend to sell. It fixes the loom model, the loom model fixes its installed length and power, and the cutting width downstream has to cover the same width. Almost every other dimension in the building follows from that one decision, which is why we ask for it before anything else.

PP mat making machine: power and floor layout

There is no single machine called a PP mat making machine. A woven plastic mat is made by a line of six machines — seven if you produce your own warp yarn — and the one most buyers have in mind when they use that phrase is the jacquard loom, the machine that actually forms the mat. This guide is for the other half of the job: the installed power and the floor space each of those machines needs, so that the building, the electrical supply and the layout are ready before anything is delivered. Every figure below is as printed in the Wenzhou Xiangyi Machinery catalogue, and where the catalogue prints nothing, this guide says so rather than estimating.

Key definitions

Installed power. The electrical load a machine is rated for, in kilowatts. It is what the supply to that part of the building has to be able to carry, not what the machine draws on average.
Heating power. The part of a machine's load that goes into heating rather than into motors. On an extruder and on a heat cutter it is the larger share.
Main motor. The drive motor of the machine. On several machines in this line it is the only motor figure the catalogue prints, which is why the printed total can be larger than the main motor alone.
Installed size. Length by width by height of the machine as it stands on the floor. It is not the same as the space the machine needs, which also has to include access, material in and product out.
Line configuration. Whether you buy warp yarn in or make it. This is the single choice that most changes the electrical load of the factory.
Specification on request. Our standing answer for machines the catalogue gives no parameter table for. We ask you for your requirement and come back with the machine, rather than printing figures we cannot source.

There is no single PP mat making machine

Searches for a mat making machine, a plastic mat weaving machine or a PP mat production line usually come from the same person at the same stage: someone who has decided to make woven mats and is working out what has to be bought and what has to be built. The answer is a set of machines in a fixed order, described step by step in the complete-line guide and on the production line page.

That guide answers which machines. This one answers the question that comes immediately after it, and that no machine page answers on its own: what does the building have to provide. Two numbers per machine decide it — how much power it is rated for, and how much floor it stands on. Both are in the catalogue, scattered across seven spec tables, and the point of this page is to put them side by side.

Installed power, machine by machine

Figures exactly as the catalogue prints them, in the order the machines run.

Machine	Model	Power as printed
Straw extruder	LG55/2	Main motor 7.5 kW; heating 15 kW; total power 23.5 kW
Straw extruder	LG55/4	Main motor 7.5 kW; heating 15 kW; total power 24.5 kW
Warping machine	ZJ-2000	Main motor 4 kW
Monofilament extruder	SJ-YS-65 / -80 / -95	Installed power 75 / 85 / 100 kW
Jacquard loom	XY-KTC900, XY-KTC1200	1.5 kW
Jacquard loom	XY-KTC1500, XY-KTC1800, XY-KTC2000	1.85 kW
Jacquard loom	XY-KTC2200, XY-KTC2700, XY-KTC3000	2.25 kW
Heat cutting machine	XY-QDJ	Heating power 6 kW
Edge sewing machine	GC3720	220 V, 50–60 Hz (no kW printed)
Hydraulic baling press	—	None printed; specification on request

Three things are worth reading out of that table before you take it to an electrician.

The loom is the smallest load in the line, not the largest. It is the machine the line is built around and it is rated at 1.5 to 2.25 kW. What makes looms matter electrically is that a factory usually has more than one of them, fed by a single straw extruder.

The two extruders dominate. The straw extruder's printed total is 23.5 or 24.5 kW, most of it heating rather than drive. The monofilament line is larger again at 75 to 100 kW installed — by a wide margin the largest single load in the catalogue, and the reason the warp-yarn decision below changes the electrical design of the building rather than just the machine list.

Two machines carry no kilowatt figure at all. The GC3720 sewing machine is printed as a 220 V machine with no power rating, and the baling press has no parameter table in the catalogue at all. Those are the two machines Xiangyi Machinery supplies with a line rather than builds, which is exactly why the figures are not ours to publish; the baling press guide sets out what we can and cannot tell you about the press.

We do not publish a total for the line, and you should be wary of anyone who does. A total needs a machine count, and the count is yours: one loom or six, one straw extruder or two, warp yarn bought or made. Add the per-machine figures for the machines you are actually buying.

Six machines or seven: the two configurations

The choice that moves the electrical load most is whether warp yarn comes in on a truck or is made on site.

Buy the warp yarn in — six machines. Straw extruder, warping machine, jacquard loom or looms, heat cutter, sewing machine, baling press. The named loads are the extruder at 23.5 to 24.5 kW, the warping machine at 4 kW, each loom at 1.5 to 2.25 kW and the cutter at 6 kW of heating.

Make the warp yarn — seven machines. An SJ-YS monofilament line is added ahead of the warping machine, and it brings 75 to 100 kW installed with it, depending on which of the three models you choose. That one machine is a larger load than any other in the line and it needs a long, clear run of floor. In exchange you make your own warp yarn from HDPE or PP rather than buying it; the monofilament extruder guide compares the three models in full.

Decide this before the supply is designed, not after. Adding a monofilament line to a building wired for the six-machine configuration is an electrical project, not a delivery.

Installed size and the space each machine needs

Machine	Installed size as printed	Weight
Straw extruder LG55	None printed	1000 kg (LG55/2), 1100 kg (LG55/4)
Warping machine ZJ-2000	2800 × 2100 × 1000 mm	1365 kg
Monofilament extruder SJ-YS	26 × 1.7 × 1.7 m (SJ-YS-65), 28 × 1.7 × 1.7 m (SJ-YS-80), 32 × 1.7 × 1.7 m (SJ-YS-95)	Not printed
Jacquard loom XY-KTC	1200 mm wide and 2100 mm high on every model; length 3950 to 7850 mm by model	1000 to 2200 kg by model
Heat cutting machine XY-QDJ	4000 × (2200–3200) × 1000 mm	500 kg
Edge sewing machine GC3720	None printed	Not printed
Hydraulic baling press	None printed	Not printed

The monofilament line is the figure that surprises people: it is 26 to 32 metres long. It is an extrusion and drawing line rather than a single machine, and a building that cannot give it a straight run of that length cannot take it, whatever the power supply can do. That length, more often than the kilowatts, is what rules the seventh machine out of an existing building.

The looms are the opposite case. Each one is a constant 1200 mm wide and 2100 mm high, and only the length changes with the weaving width — so a row of looms is predictable to lay out, and the aisle between rows is set by access rather than by the model. Take the installed length from the row for the model you choose rather than from the range above, and leave room for the warp beam to be loaded at one end.

Note what is missing from both tables. The straw extruder is printed with a weight but no installed size, and the sewing machine and the baling press have neither. Ask us for those three when the layout matters, and see the full catalogue tables on the machines page.

How to prepare the building, in order

Fix the mat width first. Everything downstream follows from it. The width chooses the loom model, the loom model gives you its length and its power, and the cutting width has to cover the same mat.
Count the looms, not just the machines. One loom or six is the difference between a small load and a real one, and it also decides how many straw extruders feed them. Work from the output you need.
Decide warp yarn in or warp yarn made. Six machines or seven. If it is seven, check the 26 to 32 metre run before you check anything else.
Add the per-machine figures for your own count. Use the printed figures above, machine by machine, for the machines on your list. Do not scale a published line total from somewhere else.
Leave the two unpublished machines as open items. The sewing stations and the baling press have no figures from us. Carry them as to-be-confirmed in the layout and ask us for them before the drawing is fixed.
Check the result against what the building actually has. Available voltage and available power, not nominal capacity. This is the step at which machine lists most often change, and it is far cheaper to change one now than after delivery.

What to send us

So that we can confirm power and layout for your line, send:

The width, or widths, of mat you want to sell.
How many mats per day or month you plan to make.
Whether you will buy warp yarn in or make it yourself.
The voltage and power available at your factory.
The floor area and the longest clear run you have.
Which machines you already have, if you are extending a factory rather than building one.

With those we will come back with the machine list, the per-machine power and size for every machine on it, and the figures for the sewing and baling steps that are not published here. Send us an enquiry with the first four and we can start from there.
