Continuous Foaming Machine

Model FM-150

The FM-150 Foaming Machine is designed

for 150 to 250 kg per min output. This yields The following are general specifications for the

produces.
The variation of density in the block is
reduced to a minimum. The outer skin of the
block is thin and with fewer hard-points,
therefore less trimming is required.
The FM-150 is designed for continuous
production of flexible Polyurethane foam in
rectangular blocks with flat top
configuration. The FM-150 is working on a
low-pressure system with multiple mixer
inlets and re-circulation. The catalyst
metering systems has as standard three
main steams and auxiliary facilities for
additional streams, extra colors, / catalysts.
The Closed foaming tunnel has a manually
(or Motorized) adjustable fall-plate system,
sidewalls, and infinitely variable speed
driven conveyor.

The FM-150 machine is equipped with a
complete control system for the different
pumps and other mechanical systems.

 ANCILLARY EQUIPMENT

Fincorp can also supply the required tanks

(Polyol, TDI, M/C) for the foaming machine.
It has been customary that the customer will
provide this of they are available locally.
In addition, the use of Calcium carbonate as
filler has increased in the last few years, this
lead to our developing the necessary
equipment to mix and pump the calcium
carbonate filled polyol. This usually requires
a Pre-Mixer (out Turbo-mixer) and a day
tank with separate stream to the mix head.
Please consult with us for further details.

An FM-150 equipped with a well engineered

and accurate block cut-off machine like the

Machine will cut blocks to length with a
smooth straight surface which thereby
eliminates any further trimming.

CURING AREA

A suitable outdoor (or well ventilated indoor)

curing area is required. The size of the area
should be adequate to fit the production
capacity of the machine. A concrete floor is
advisable as to prevent damage to the rolling
carts (customer supplied). The foam will
need to cure for 8 hrs before being sent to
the cutting or storage area.
