THERMO FOAMER

Homogeneously closed and textured molding surfaces

The THERMO SELECT process of the Kurtz THERMO FOAMER offers, on the basis of variothermal mould tempering with minimal steam consumption, a process for the production of highly sophisticated particle foam moulded parts with regard to structured and textured surface quality without visible bead structure for applications in the visible range.

Advantages of THERMO FOAMER with THERMO SELECT process

  • Visually attractive moulded part surface with structure and/or texturing, pleasant feel
  • Homogeneous temperature distribution in the part via variothermal mould temperature control - precise EPP moulded parts
  • Mould volume reduced by up to 75%
  • Up to 80% lower steam consumption
  • Significantly lower infrastructure - plug´n´play installation

Advantages expanded polypropylene

Automatically included in Thermo-Coating mouldings:

  • high energy and shock absorption
  • high structural strength with low weight
  • very good thermal insulation
  • very good chemical resistance
  • completely recyclable

Add-on: Thermo Coating / IMPFC In-Mould-Particle-Foam Coating

Combined with THERMO COATING, closed, smooth, textured and thus injection molding-like surfaces are created for particle foam components.

Mono-Material-System - Particle Foam with injection moulding surface

The Kurtz THERMO FOAMER is the solution for a moulded part production of material bonded composite parts such as EPP/PP with high demands on surface structure and dimensional accuracy.
