Special Features

Technical principles

Through the incorporation of a special chip and precise size calculations, coupled with clear pipe layout, our machine automatically adjusts the steam valve to match the foam's varying energy needs at different molding stages. This optimization slashes steam consumption during molding to a mere 5-15kg/cycle (usually 10-30kg/cycle). Additionally, our innovative super-speed vacuum boosting technology achieves an unparalleled vacuum level, tackling the industry-wide issue of high-temperature demoulding. By enabling demoulding at 85~95 degrees Celsius, steam consumption is further reduced to 3-8kg/cycle, ensuring both high efficiency and energy savings. Furthermore, our machine injects high-pressure steam into upper and lower air chambers, evenly filling thick foaming material with steam on both sides, resulting in superior sintering on both upper and lower surfaces.
