1. Introduction to the Sandwich Panel Automatic Stacker
Sandwich panels are versatile composite materials widely used in construction, clean room engineering, and industrial applications due to their lightweight structure, excellent insulation properties, and durability. These panels typically consist of two outer layers—often steel or aluminum—sandwiching an insulating core made from materials like rock wool, EPS, glass magnesium, or magnesium oxide sulfide. The production process involves multiple stages, including forming, cutting, and stacking, with the latter being a critical step to ensure panels are organized for storage, transportation, or installation.
The Sandwich Panel Automatic Stacker is the cornerstone of Xinshuo’s fully automated production line, designed to handle this final stage with unmatched efficiency. By automating the stacking process, it eliminates manual labor, reduces the risk of panel damage, and ensures consistent output, making it an indispensable tool for manufacturers aiming to scale operations and improve quality control. As the global sandwich panel market continues to grow—projected to reach a CAGR of 6.7% from 2023 to 2030 (Grand View Research)—the demand for automation solutions like Xinshuo’s stacker is at an all-time high.
