KNOW THE PRODUCT

The Mega factory of MAINPOL S.L. is specifically designed for companies with high EPS consumption. It allows these companies to produce their own expanded polystyrene with exceptional production performance, without the need for prior experience. With the lowest possible energy and personnel costs, this high-capacity factory facilitates a quick return on investment.

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. Blocker

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.

Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Machinery. Laminator / Pantograph

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.).

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. Windmill

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.

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.
