| Extraction of Foam Parts | • This type of design allows you to extract the foam patterns in a flat horizontal mode. This means ease of extraction and less damage to foam parts. |
|---|---|
| Tooling Cooling | • MPV machine in our opinion has better cooling characteristics than the MPH machine. |
| Guide Rods | The MPV machine has four (4) guide rods in a vertical position, which means no weight from the tools are on the guide rods. The MPH machine has the guide rods in a horizontal position, carrying the complete weight of the tooling, platens, piping, etc. This will cause wear and distortion on the guide rods. |

- Horizontal operation (vertical parting line)
- Standard Styrologic steam chest system; chest design allows for positive and quick tooling change
- Tool flange faces are stainless steel
- Adjustable, 2-speed, pressure compensated hydraulic system.
- Four over-sized guide bars, containing expansion compensation bearings, provide quick motion, even load, plate to plate squareness with powerful locking forces
- Pressure bead fill system with a fine tune regulator for producing thin wall patterns; and connections for attaching fill guns.
- Even heat transfers to both tool faces controlled by independent steam valves
- PLC controls for machine functions. All process steps are freely programmed and continuously indicated on panel mounted touch screen operator interface
- Fixed and moving chests have adjustable water dosing system providing efficient atomization of a small quantity of water
- High power vacuum system containing liquid ring pump and accumulator designed for rapid evacuation of steam chests and stabilization of foam pressure along with minimizing foam moisture content.
- Integrated demolding foam part removal system to provide safe and damage free handling of foam patterns
