What are the different types of automatic EPS molding machines?
EPS, short for expanded polystyrene, is a rigid porous plastic that comes in a variety of shapes and applications. It is most commonly used in fish tanks, consumer product packaging and building insulation. So how do tiny plastic beads form a giant box or even building material? Well, that's what EPS molding machines do. So, please allow me to introduce you the different types of fully automatic EPS forming machines in detail.

What is EPS molding machine?
EPS molding machine is a type of EPS machinery. After block molding machines produce large blocks of EPS, parts with custom design specifications are produced, such as packaging for electronics products. These blocks can be cut into shapes or sheets for packaging and construction applications. The main supporters of EPS forming machines are Process Control Bachmann, PLC Pneumatic Control Festo, Hydraulic Drive Parker, Electrical Components Schneider, Process Control Valve Gemü, Electrical Servo Drive Schneider and Gearbox Keb. Reliable EPS molding machines are often equipped with quick mold change systems, steam and air ratio controls, unloading and stacking robots, surface treatment of molded parts, and even electric drives with knee bars. All of the above components are installed for fast movement and soft movement.
How many types of EPS molding machines are there?
Generally speaking, there are two types of fully automatic EPS molding machines, energy-saving molding machines and basic molding machines. The most commonly used is the basic type of automatic EPS molding machine, which can foam products of various specifications, and the basic type EPS molding machine also ensures that they obtain low moisture content and stable dimensions. The basic EPS molding machine can realize four operation modes: fully automatic, semi-automatic, intermediate start and manual. The basic EPS molding machine also adopts mechanical demoulding, and the demoulding position can be adjusted according to the thickness of the product. The basic type of EPS molding machine adopts three kinds of safety protections such as door lock and pause switch, and emergency stop to ensure safe and reliable operation. The energy-saving type can also produce foamed products with low water content, but it has low energy consumption, short production cycle and stable dimensions. The energy-saving EPS molding machine also has a variety of interchangeable mold types and good equipment compatibility, which also helps to save mold costs.
What is the difference between different types of EPS molding machines?
The most significant difference between the two types of automatic EPS molding machines is energy consumption and cycle time. For example, the cooling water consumption of the basic model is about 20 to 35 kg per lap, while the water consumption of the energy saving model is only 15 to 30 kg per lap. The same is true for the steam consumption of the two, the steam consumption per lap of the basic type is 3 to 4 kg, and the steam consumption per lap of the energy-saving automatic EPS forming machine is 2 to 3.5 kg. As far as the cycle time of the two types is concerned, there is a big difference, the basic type takes 60 to 200 seconds to complete a cycle, while the energy-saving type usually only needs 38 to 60 seconds, which means it is much faster than the basic type. Based on these differences, the outputs of the two are not at the same level either,
