JOIN SUSTAINABLE MANUFACTURING

The EPS manufacturing process does not emit polluting gases into the atmosphere

FABRICATION PROCESS

Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Machinery. Expander continued

Pre-expander

The pre-expander transforms the expandable EPS (raw material) into expanded EPS, achieving the necessary density depending on the production needs. It is an easy-to-use machine and a fully automated process.

Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Machinery. Steam boiler

Boiler

The steam boiler produces the water vapor necessary for the different phases of the expansion process (expansion of the raw material beads, welding and pressing of the block) It is fully automatic and requires minimal maintenance.

Expanded polystyrene (EPS) machinery. Concrete mixer

Concrete mixer

The plate mixer is for mixing high-quality materials.

Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Machinery. Silos system

Silos

The silos are used for the storage and rest of the expanded beads, while their stabilization occurs. The dimensions of the silos are very varied and adaptable to customer needs.

Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Machinery. Air compressor

Compressor

The compressor produces the air necessary for the movement of valves, flaps, etc. The tank is a storage of the air produced by the compressor.
