The Jwell HDPE geomembrane extrusion line achieves sheet widths up to 8,000mm (8 meters) in a single pass — one of the widest single-pass geomembrane production capabilities available in the global market. This ultra-wide capability is enabled by the proprietary waterproof sheet T-die design with CAD-optimized manifold geometry, paired with a high-precision three-roll calendar that maintains uniform sheet profile across the full width.
For landfill liner and reservoir lining projects, the field installation advantage is substantial. An 8-meter wide geomembrane panel covers 40-60% more area per panel compared to the 4-5 meter panels typical of narrower production lines. This directly translates to:
– 60% reduction in field seam welding — fewer seams mean lower installation labor costs and reduced welding equipment time
– Reduced leakage risk — every seam is a potential leak path; fewer seams directly improve containment system integrity
– Faster installation — larger panels cover more ground per shift, accelerating project timelines
– Lower QA/QC cost — seam testing (destructive and non-destructive) scales linearly with seam count
The 8-meter width has been validated in production installations including the Kazakhstan 7-meter project, where Jwell’s equipment produces wide-width geomembrane for environmental containment applications under demanding Central Asian climate conditions.

The extrusion system is built around three precision components that determine sheet quality and production stability:
Nordson Melt Pump (USA): Positioned between the extruder and the screen changer, the Nordson melt pump stabilizes melt pressure and flow rate, eliminating the pressure fluctuations inherent to single-screw extrusion. This ensures consistent sheet thickness across the full web width and length, reduces thickness tolerance to within ±0.05mm, and enables lower scrap rates during production start-up and steady-state operation. The melt pump decouples the melting and pumping functions, allowing the extruder to focus on plasticization while the gear pump delivers a constant, surge-free flow to the die.
38CrMoAlA Screw & Barrel: The screw and barrel are manufactured from 38CrMoAlA nitrided steel — a premium grade specifically engineered for plastic extrusion applications. The nitrided surface layer of 0.5-0.7mm provides exceptional wear resistance, with screw surface hardness of HV≥740 and barrel surface hardness of HV≥940. Under normal operating conditions with virgin HDPE resin, the screw and barrel deliver 5-7 years of service life. The screw geometry is optimized for HDPE geomembrane grade resins (MI 0.05-0.15 g/10min), delivering consistent melt homogeneity at output rates up to 1,000 kg/h.
Hydraulic Screen Changer (Double Column Double Position): The double-column, double-position hydraulic screen changer enables continuous filtration without production interruption. When one filter screen becomes clogged, the hydraulic system shifts to the second position, allowing the dirty screen to be replaced while production continues. This design eliminates the 15-30 minute downtime associated with single-position screen changers, maximizing production uptime for 24-hour continuous operation.

The T-die is the single most critical component for achieving uniform geomembrane thickness across wide sheet widths. Jwell’s waterproof sheet T-die incorporates five advanced design features:
1. CAD-Optimized Manifold: The die manifold is designed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation to optimize melt flow distribution across the full die width. The manifold geometry ensures that melt velocity and pressure are uniform from center to edge, eliminating the thickness variations that plague dies designed by trial-and-error methods.
2. Lengthening Die Lip: The extended die lip provides a longer flow path for the polymer melt, allowing residual stress to relax before the sheet exits the die. This produces a flatter, lower-stress sheet with reduced post-extrusion shrinkage — critical for geomembrane dimensional stability during field installation.
3. Micro-Adjustable Upper Die Lip: The upper die lip features precision adjustment mechanisms (individual thermal bolts or mechanical adjusters) that enable operators to fine-tune the die gap at each position across the width. When integrated with the online thickness gauge feedback, this enables real-time closed-loop thickness control.
4. Changeable Lower Die Lip: The lower die lip is designed as a replaceable insert, allowing rapid changeover between different thickness ranges (1-4mm standard production, up to 10mm maximum capability). This enables a single die to serve multiple product specifications without purchasing a second die.
5. Restrictor Bar Adjustment: An adjustable restrictor bar upstream of the die lip provides coarse flow distribution tuning, enabling optimization for different resin grades and output rates without re-machining the die.
The T-die supports a standard thickness range of 1.0-4.0mm for geomembrane production, with maximum capability of 10mm for specialized applications. Surface finish and chroming ensure HDPE release without sticking or surface defects.

The three-roll calendar is the heart of the sheet forming and cooling process. Jwell’s roller calendar system is engineered to geomembrane-grade precision standards that directly impact sheet flatness, surface quality, and thickness uniformity:
Material & Manufacturing: The rollers are forged from 42CrMo alloy steel — a grade commonly specified for heavy-duty mechanical components requiring high strength and toughness. Each roller undergoes precision machining to achieve the following specifications:
Hydraulic Gap Adjustment: The roll gap between the top and middle rollers is adjusted via a hydraulic system, enabling precise, repeatable gap setting across the full roller face. This hydraulic adjustment provides:
– Continuous gap control — operators can fine-tune sheet thickness without stopping production
– Uniform pressure distribution — hydraulic cylinders apply equal force across the roller width, preventing edge-to-center thickness variation
– Recipe-driven positioning — the PLC stores gap positions for each product recipe, enabling one-touch changeover between thickness specifications
Temperature Control: Each roller is individually temperature-controlled via a closed-loop pressurized water circuit, maintaining temperature uniformity of ±1°C across the full face width. This eliminates the thermal expansion variations that cause localized thickness bands — a defect visible as periodic striping in geomembrane sheet.
For textured geomembrane production, the middle roller accepts interchangeable patterned sleeves that create the surface roughness required for slope stability in landfill and reservoir applications.

HDPE geomembrane produced on this line serves as the primary impermeable barrier in municipal solid waste and hazardous waste landfill cells. The wide-width capability (up to 8,000mm) allows installers to cover large base areas with fewer panels, reducing field seam lengths and long-term permeability risk for environmental compliance.
Key requirements for landfill liner geomembrane include:
– Thickness: 1.5-3.0mm per GRI-GM13 standard (2.0mm most common for municipal solid waste)
– Width: 7,000-8,000mm preferred to minimize seam count and installation time
– Surface: Smooth for base liner / Textured for slope liner (friction angle ≥27° for slope stability)
– Carbon black: 2-3% for UV resistance during exposed service before soil cover
– Seam weldability: Consistent thickness and surface for hot-wedge or extrusion welding
Jwell’s geomembrane line produces sheet that meets GRI-GM13 specifications for all physical, mechanical, and endurance properties required by landfill engineering standards worldwide. The scanning thickness gauge ensures every square meter of geomembrane meets the minimum thickness requirement — critical for regulatory compliance where undershoot areas constitute reject material.
Applications within landfill systems: Base liner, side slope liner, leachate collection system liner, final cap/closure liner, and leachate evaporation pond liner.
Open-pit and underground mining operations utilize HDPE geomembrane liners for heap leach pads, tailings storage facilities, and process water containment. HDPE’s chemical resistance to acidic and alkaline leach solutions (pH 2-12), combined with its high tensile strength and puncture resistance, makes it the industry standard for mining containment applications.
The extrusion line’s ability to produce both smooth and textured geomembrane variants suits the demanding mechanical stresses of mining environments:
– Heap leach pads: Textured geomembrane on slopes prevents ore stack slippage; smooth geomembrane on the base facilitates solution collection
– Tailings storage facilities: 2.0-3.0mm HDPE geomembrane provides long-term containment of process water and tailings supernatant
– Process water ponds: Lined with 1.5-2.0mm HDPE geomembrane for recycling of leach solution
– Diversion channels: HDPE-lined channels route clean water away from contaminated areas
The 8-meter wide production capability is particularly valuable for large mining projects where the total liner area may exceed 1 million square meters — wider panels reduce installation time and seam inspection requirements in remote mining locations where labor and equipment mobilization costs are high.
Industry standards: HDPE geomembrane for mining applications typically meets GRI-GM13, with additional project-specific requirements for tensile, puncture, and stress crack resistance validated by ASTM D-6392 (seam peel and shear testing).
The Jwell HDPE geomembrane extrusion line can produce sheets up to 8,000mm (8 meters) wide in a single pass. This ultra-wide capability is achieved through our proprietary waterproof sheet T-die design with CAD manifold and high-precision three-roll calendar. Producing 8-meter wide geomembrane reduces field seam welding by up to 60% compared to narrower production methods — a major cost and quality advantage for landfill and reservoir projects where seam count directly impacts installation labor cost, QA/QC testing cost, and long-term leakage risk.
For applications requiring narrower widths (e.g., tunnel waterproofing at 2,000-4,000mm), the line is configurable with a narrower die and downstream equipment, reducing equipment cost and factory footprint.
Yes, the line produces smooth, single-side textured, and double-side textured HDPE geomembrane. The texturing system uses interchangeable patterned roller sleeves integrated into the three-roll calendar. Surface type changeover requires a roller sleeve swap, which typically takes under 45 minutes with calibrated gap and temperature parameters stored in the PLC for each surface recipe.
Textured geomembrane surfaces achieve a friction angle of 27-33 degrees, meeting GRI-GM13 and ASTM D-6097 specifications for slope stability in landfill and reservoir embankment applications. The texturing does not compromise the sheet’s waterproof integrity or thickness uniformity, as the pattern depth is controlled to within 0.1mm of the nominal sheet thickness.
Jwell HDPE geomembrane extrusion lines are CE certified and manufactured under ISO 9001 quality management systems. The geomembrane produced on our lines has been tested to comply with:
– GRI-GM13: Geosynthetic Research Institute standard for HDPE geomembrane (thickness, tensile, puncture, tear, carbon black content, UV resistance, stress crack resistance)
– ASTM D-6384: Standard terminology for geosynthetics
– ASTM D-5397: Notched constant tensile load (NCTL) test for stress crack resistance
– JIS K 6732: Japanese industrial standard for waterproofing polymer sheets
– CRCC: China Railway Construction Corporation certification for railway tunnel waterproof membranes (including strict requirements for thickness uniformity, tear strength, and surface flatness)
By using NSF-approved HDPE resin, manufacturers can achieve NSF/ANSI 61 certification for potable water contact applications.
The Nordson melt pump, imported from the USA, is positioned between the extruder and the hydraulic screen changer. Its primary functions are:
1. Pressure stabilization: Eliminates the pressure fluctuations (±5-10 bar) inherent to single-screw extrusion, reducing them to ±0.5 bar — a 10:1 improvement that directly translates to sheet thickness uniformity.
2. Flow rate consistency: Delivers a constant, surge-free melt flow to the T-die, eliminating the thickness variations that appear as periodic bands in geomembrane sheet.
3. Throughput optimization: By decoupling the melting and pumping functions, the extruder can focus on plasticization while the gear pump handles pressure development — enabling higher throughput at lower melt temperatures (reducing HDPE thermal degradation risk).
4. Scrap reduction: Stable pressure and flow reduce the start-up scrap period and maintain tighter thickness tolerance during steady-state production, lowering overall scrap rates by 15-30%.
The Nordson brand was selected for its proven reliability in high-output HDPE applications and global availability of replacement parts and service.
The screw and barrel are manufactured from 38CrMoAlA nitrided steel — a premium chromium-molybdenum-aluminum alloy steel specifically engineered for plastic extrusion applications. Key specifications:
The barrel surface is harder than the screw surface (HV 940 vs. HV 740) by design — the barrel is the more expensive component to replace, so the harder surface ensures longer barrel life relative to screw life. The screw is designed as the wear component, expected to be replaced or refurbished at 5-7 year intervals under normal HDPE processing conditions.
For applications involving recycled HDPE material (which may contain contaminants), mineral-filled compounds, or abrasive additives, Jwell offers enhanced wear packages including bimetallic barrel liners (Xaloy X-800 or equivalent, 58-62 HRC) and wear-resistant screw surfaces extending service life by 50-100%.
