Loop Forming and Butt Welding Integrated Machine: Core Equipment for Producing Modular Plant Trellises for Pots

In the field of horticultural cultivation, modular plant trellises for pots are essential tools for supporting the growth of climbing plants. Their structural stability, dimensional accuracy, and production efficiency directly impact the market competitiveness of gardening products. The loop forming and butt welding integrated machine, with its fully servo-driven precision control, integrated processing flow, and efficient handling of 2-6mm low-carbon iron wires, has become core equipment for producing these trellises. It addresses industry pain points such as low efficiency, poor precision, and high costs associated with traditional processing methods, driving the automation and standardization of trellis production.

From an industry adaptability perspective, the loop forming and butt welding integrated machine highly aligns with the production needs of modular plant trellises. Trellises are primarily made from 2-6mm low-carbon iron wires, and the machine’s loop forming range perfectly covers this spectrum. Whether processing 2mm thin wires (for lightweight trellises) or 6mm thick wires (for heavy-duty trellises), the machine ensures stable processing. Additionally, the machine’s loop diameter can be flexibly adjusted between 25mm and 550mm, with detailed diameter ranges based on wire thickness:

• 2-2.5mm wire diameter corresponds to 25-300mm loop diameter

• 3-4mm wire diameter corresponds to 30-400mm loop diameter

• 4-5mm wire diameter corresponds to 40-400mm loop diameter

• 6mm wire diameter corresponds to 55-400mm loop diameter (loops larger than 400mm can be processed for wires above 3mm diameter)

This feature perfectly meets the diverse design needs of trellises, enabling precise production of both mini loops for small pots and large support rings for big frames, providing a wide range of basic components for modular trellis assembly.

Production efficiency is a critical metric for the batch production of trellises, and the loop forming and butt welding integrated machine excels in this regard. Taking an 80mm diameter trellis loop (a common basic component) as an example, the machine can produce 10-20 pieces per minute. Even for larger rings (e.g., support loops over 300mm), the production speed remains stable at 10-15 pieces per minute, far exceeding the efficiency of traditional manual bending and separate welding processes. This high performance stems from the machine’s fully servo-powered system: a 2.6KW/3000 RPM servo wire feeding motor achieves a wire feeding speed of 35 meters per minute, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted wire delivery; a 1.0KW servo cutting motor precisely cuts iron wires without deformation or burrs, reducing subsequent processing steps. More importantly, the machine integrates loop forming and butt welding functions, eliminating intermediate steps like "loop forming, transfer, and welding" in traditional processes, significantly shortening the production cycle for single components and helping businesses respond quickly to market orders.

Processing accuracy directly determines the structural stability and assembly compatibility of trellises, and the loop forming and butt welding integrated machine meets high industry standards in precision control. The machine achieves a circumference tolerance of just ±0.2mm, a loop diameter tolerance within 0.5mm, and flatness below 0.5mm, ensuring consistent dimensions and standardized shapes for every trellis loop. For modular trellises, component precision is critical—excessive diameter errors can cause gaps or assembly failures during拼接, while poor flatness can lead to tilting after installation, affecting plant climbing and overall aesthetics. The machine’s high-precision processing not only ensures smooth assembly but also guarantees support stability, preventing trellis breakage or collapse due to component errors and effectively protecting climbing plants.

In terms of power and supporting systems, the loop forming and butt welding integrated machine is professionally and reliably configured to ensure continuous production. The machine requires a 380V industrial voltage input for stable power output; a 50KVA welding power enables high-strength welding at wire joints, ensuring Firm  connections that are less prone to breakage and meeting the load-bearing requirements of trellises (particularly for heavy-duty trellises made from 6mm thick wires, where welding strength directly impacts service life). A 50% duty cycle allows the machine to operate continuously under high-intensity production conditions, avoiding frequent shutdowns due to overheating and adapting to batch production rhythms. Additionally, the machine requires a compressed air pressure of 0.6MPa to provide sufficient power for pneumatic components like loop forming and cutting, ensuring precise and smooth actions; a cooling water flow rate of 50L/minReal-time  cools welding components, preventing high temperatures from affecting welding quality and equipment lifespan, further enhancing production stability.

In summary, the loop forming and butt welding integrated machine, with its strong adaptability, high production efficiency, precise processing accuracy, and reliable supporting systems, has become an ideal equipment for producing modular plant trellises for pots. It not only helps businesses reduce labor costs and improve product quality but also flexibly meets diverse trellis design needs, enhancing their competitiveness in the gardening equipment market. The machine drives the trellis production industry toward efficiency, standardization, and automation, providing robust support for the advancement of the horticultural cultivation industry.
