| Tolerance | Held via matched screens |
| Benefit | Less material, lighter parts |
FAQ
Q1: Can a molded pulp machine make thin-wall parts?
A: Yes. With fine, well-refined fiber and uniform vacuum and slurry flow, machines produce lightweight thin-wall parts with consistent walls.
Q2: Do thin-wall parts hold tolerance?
A: Yes, when screen geometry is matched to the part and vacuum is balanced, thin-wall parts stay within dimensional spec.
Q3: Why make thin-wall molded pulp?
A: Thin walls save fiber and weight while still protecting products, lowering material cost and freight.
