1. Introduction
Products produced
1) Sandwich panels
The blocks in dimensions of 2,5 x 1 x 1 m are produced by mechanical mixing inside a large
bucket and then poured into moveable carriages. The blocks are then cut for producing
panels and pipe insulation halves.
The foams are mainly produced in a density of 35 kg/m3 and occasionally panels are
requested with densities of 50 kg/m3.
The continuous line is from 1976 and has a total length of app. 30 m. and the double
conveyor has a working length of 7 m. The conveyor has rubber belts for transporting the
foam.
The mixing head is placed on a radial moving support which is pneumatically activated.
Note that the position sensors are not EX type and need therefore to be considered for the
conversion. The mixing head portal is enclosed inside a box and the work tanks are placed
on top of this box in a separate air conditioned housing.
After the foaming the line consists of side trimming and cutting to length of the panels. The
shreds produced by the trimming and cutting are collected through a suction system into
bags.
Note the bags suction device will be displaced to the outside area in order to avoid any
release of pentane inside the factory.
The line runs with a speed of about 4 to 4,6 m/min and the refilling of the worktanks is done
through intermediate tanks and pumping system. These intermediate tanks are placed inside
an airconditioned room.
This picture shows the conveyor and at the end the box in which the foam is poured. Above
the box is the room for placement of the foaming equipment
The machinery basically consists of a stirrer which can be moved up and down. Under the
stirrer a bin is placed which is than stirred and poured into metal moulds.
The moulds are displaced manually and after foaming transported to an outside location. The
room is air-conditioned and can be used for the new equipment according to the needs. The
idea is to replace completely the platform and stirrer with a typical blockfoam machine.
The complete wet part of the production line needs to be replaced with a 4 component high
pressure metering unit inclusive of a new mixing head.
Pumping and tank ancillary equipment for a pentane tank which will be provided by the
beneficiary according to designs of the Contractor (note the pentane tank will be
underground!).
A 4 component wet part is requested including a bin for pouring weights up to 200 kg. The
bin must be moveable so that the existing mould carriages can be used.
Common for both machines a safety system consisting of ventilation and gas sensors is
required. The safety system is allowed to be combined with both production lines.
Technical specifications
