Key Selling Points
When Volume Grows, a Batch Pre-Expander Becomes the Bottleneck
Batch by Batch, Capacity Hits a Ceiling
Every batch has to go through weighing, charging, heating, venting and unloading - part of every cycle is waiting time. You keep adding moulding machines and block lines, but the pre-expander can't keep up.
Intermittent Supply Means Intermittent Downstream
Pre-expanded beads in the silos rise and fall, moulding machines start and stop, and night shifts and holidays are hard to keep running. In peak season the only answers are more machines or overtime.
Several Batch Machines in Parallel: More People, More Space, Less Consistency
Running two or three batch machines side by side to reach volume means more operators, separate settings on each machine, and density differences between batches carried into the final product.
| Technical Parameters | Automatic Intermittent EPS Pre-expander | Industry Reference Level | Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary Foaming Density Range | 8–40 kg/m³ | 8–30 kg/m³ | Covers standard applications such as building insulation, packaging, and automotive interiors. |
| Secondary Foaming Density Range | 4.5–11 kg/m³ | Typically lacks secondary foaming capability. | Ultra-low-density, ultra-light filler-dual-purpose functionality in a single machine. |
| Density Tolerance Control | ≤ ±2.5%; the vibration-sensing controller can achieve ±0.3 kg/m³. | ±3–5% | The downstream molding reject rate has been reduced by over 50%. |
| Steam Consumption (In-tank Temperature Control Accuracy) | Temperature Difference: ±1% (Japanese-imported high-precision pilot-operated pressure reducing valve + proportional control valve) | ±2–3% | Fully enclosed, constant-pressure foaming ensures high thermal efficiency and uniform, consistent bead expansion. |
| Comprehensive Energy Conservation | Features a fully sealed drum design, saving over 50% more energy compared to continuous-type systems. | - | Long-term operating costs are significantly reduced. |
| Foaming time per batch | 60–80 seconds per cycle | 90–120s | High production efficiency: a single unit is sufficient to meet an annual production capacity requirement of less than 2,000 tons. |
| Barrel Material | Dual-Layer Interior and Exterior 304 Stainless Steel + High-Efficiency Thermal Insulation Layer | Ordinary Carbon Steel or Single-Layer Stainless Steel | Corrosion-resistant and non-contaminating, with a low outer wall temperature and minimal heat loss. |
| Control System | Omron/Mitsubishi PLC + 10-inch HMI Touchscreen | Domestic-brand or unbranded PLCs | Fully automatic cyclic control, with one-touch recall of stored recipes. |
| Fluidized Drying Bed | Standard features include automatic drying, screening, crushing, and pneumatic conveying to the curing silo. | Natural ventilation only | One-stop post-processing, significantly reducing manual intervention. |
| Configuration Capabilities | Yoshitake (Japan) Steam Pressure Reducing Valves, Proportional Valves, and Vibration Sensors | - | Core components from renowned brands ensure long-term reliability. |
| Compliance Certification | ISO 9001:2015 + CE Certification | Depends on the supplier | Seamless Global Customs Clearance |
Core Product Advantages
Precision Weighing Closed-Loop System
Utilizes a unique electronic weighing system combined with a vibration-based foaming level sensor to achieve a dual closed-loop density control mechanism.
Fully Enclosed, Constant-Pressure Foaming Vessel
Features a fully enclosed, constant-pressure foaming vessel design, comprising a double-layered stainless steel shell (inner and outer) with a highly efficient thermal insulation interlayer.
Secondary Foaming Capability
Equipped with dual functionality for both primary and secondary foaming, meeting the production requirements for products of varying densities.
Fluidized Drying Bed
Available as a standard or optional feature, the large-capacity fluidized drying bed enables comprehensive, one-stop post-processing.
PLC + HMI Fully Automated Control System
The equipment is centrally controlled via a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and a touch-screen Human-Machine Interface (HMI).
304 Stainless Steel Construction
Both the inner and outer walls of the fully enclosed foaming vessel are constructed from high-grade 304 stainless steel.
