KNOW THE PRODUCT
MAINPOL's efficient factory, specifically designed for companies with medium-low EPS consumption, allows for the self-production of expanded polystyrene without prior experience. With high production performance and reduced energy and labor costs, this factory occupies a compact space and enables quick investment recovery.
JOIN SUSTAINABLE MANUFACTURING
The EPS manufacturing process does not emit polluting gases into the atmosphere
FABRICATION PROCESS
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.
Blocker
The blocker transforms the EPS beads already expanded into a compact block for measuring the inner mold, for subsequent cutting into various shapes, being fully automatic.
Cutter / Pantograph
The cutter transforms the EPS block into plates of different sizes depending on the needs. And the pantograph cuts the block into pieces with different shapes (vaults, caissons, cornices, etc.).
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.
Windmill
Grinding mill, designed to recycle EPS quickly and efficiently, grinds EPS into small portions for reuse, incorporating it back into the production process, or allocating it for other applications.
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.
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.
