-
Heating Chamber:
- The circulating fan below the heating chamber blows hot air into the oven, while the air suction port at the top allows remaining hot air to flow back. This design avoids powder accumulation and reduces fire risk.
- The inner wall of the heating chamber is constructed from durable stainless steel to ensure long-term stable operation.
- The thermal circulation fan is paired with a dual cooling system to support long-lasting and stable output.
- Rotating Arm and Head: Features a fully enclosed design, manufactured using casting and forging processes. Performance is greatly improved after heat treatment, making it exceptionally safe and reliable.
- Swivel Arm Load-Bearing Capacity: Accurately assessed and verified with the help of mechanical CAE analysis technology.
- Rotating Arm Ventilation Function: The design ensures uniform thickness and is equipped with an exhaust gas recovery and environmental protection device, effectively reducing exhaust emissions and optimizing the workshop environment.
Combustion System
Different kinds of burners are selectable, such as Weishaupt (German brand) and Maxon (American brand), which can be heated using natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, diesel oil, and electricity.
Control System
- PLC Control: Siemens’s PLC manages data over Ethernet with a standardized circuit. Each arm can be set up with three-stage heating, and each stage can be configured with different heating temperatures, times, main and counter shaft speeds, and circulation air volumes.
- Cooling Function: Supports cooling, delay, water mist, and multi-stage settings of air cooling.
- Storage Function: Stores production parameters of corresponding products. The position of the disassembly and assembly station is fixed to improve efficiency.
- Disassembly & Assembly Process: The rotating arm is wireless remote-controlled, ensuring safety and high efficiency.
Be able to continuously produce products when the molds are changed. Selectable raw materials: PE, XPE, PP, PA, PA6, PA12; 100% recyclable.
Optional Configurations
-
1. All-around real-time monitoring of the mold temperature
- During the heating and molding period, the dynamic changes of the temperature inside the mold will be transmitted in real time.
- During the heating and molding process, the material is monitored in real-time throughout the entire process.
- Pay close attention to the melting state of the material and the impact of melting on the material.
- Monitor the temperature of various parts of the mold, including the inside, outside, upper part, and lower part.
- During the heating and molding stage, the temperature inside and outside the mold is monitored in real time.
- During the cooling process, the temperature is also transmitted in real time.
-
2. Secondary charging system
- Facilitate the production of multi-layer products.
- Be used for the production of products with camouflage colors.
- Enable the realization of the PE foaming process.
- 3. Automatic positioning system: It can be used for local thickening, is suitable for the production of deep-cavity products, and can flexibly adjust the product thickness.
- 4. Color & Feeding options: It can also be used for the production of products with camouflage colors. Automatic feeding and weighing system (optional configuration).
- 5. Safety protection device: Safety protection device for the disassembly and assembly station (optional configuration).
