Foam production usually means huge investments and shifts in production
Companies already producing foam goods would like to achieve additional raw material savings and lower density products.
Breakthrough advances have been made with Optifoam™ for foam extrusion. Optifoam™ is a new retrofit and easy to adapt system to achieve:
Cost savings
Excellent melt quality
Material savings
|
|
|
|
Optifoam™ Delivers Constant High Quality Foam Products at Optimized Cost |
| |
The system combines the dosing of blowing agents via fluid injection nozzle with the proven Sulzer mixer technology resulting in a retrofit solution.
Optifoam™ provides the opportunity to produce physically foamed parts on a conventional extruder to achieve:
Cost savings
- Flexible and inexpensive solution
- Raw material savings (both resin and additives)
- Lower ecotax
- Accelerated foam production start-up
Improved positioning:
- Substitution of chemical blowing agents
- Using physical vs chemical agents allows ´greener´ solution
- Ahead of future regulations
Ease of use:
- Easy and rapid installation
- Fits / retrofits just about any extrusion systems
