EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) shape moulding machine is a type of
equipment used in the manufacturing process of EPS foam products.
The shape moulding machine is specifically designed to produce
various shapes and sizes of EPS foam products, such as blocks,
sheets, panels, and custom molded products.
Pre-expansion: The process begins with the pre-expansion of EPS
beads.
Aging: The expanded beads are then transferred to an aging silo,
where they are allowed to cool and stabilize for a certain period.
Molding: The aged beads are then fed into the shape moulding
machine.
Steam and pressure application: Once the mold is filled with the
expanded beads, steam is injected into the mold cavity. The steam causes the beads to further expand and fuse together,
conforming to the shape of the mold.
Cooling and demolding: After the desired molding time, the steam
supply is stopped, and the mold is cooled using either water or
air. The cooling process solidifies the expanded beads into a solid foam
shape.
EPS shape moulding machines are available in different sizes and
configurations to accommodate various production capacities and
product requirements.
These machines offer several advantages, including high production
efficiency, precise molding control, energy efficiency, and the
ability to produce lightweight and durable EPS foam products with
excellent thermal insulation properties.
