EPS Shape Moulding Machine for Lost Foam Casting

An EPS shape moulding machine for lost foam casting  is a specialized piece of equipment used in the lost foam casting process. it's a vertical type EPS shape molding machine with Hydraulic system. It uses expandable polystyrene (EPS) or copolymer materials as raw materials. After the raw materials are foamed, dried, and cured, the machine automatically sends EPS and copolymer beads into the mold, and then steam Heating and sintering forming, after cooling and shaping, the foamed plastic products are automatically released from the mold by compressed air.

Using an EPS shape moulding machine for lost foam casting allows for the production of complex and intricate metal parts with high precision and minimal post-casting machining. The lost foam casting process is commonly used in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, and general engineering, for its ability to create near-net-shape castings with reduced production time and cost.

EPS Moulding Machine  Structure

The equipment as a whole is composed of a molding machine support, an upper mold base, a guide column, a lower mold base, a hydraulic system, and a control cabinet.

The control system can be selected according to customer requirements (Delta, Siemens) (Note: The high-voltage pulse feeding device can be optional for customers)

Main functions and advantages

The main machine structure adopts high-strength (materials can be welded, cast iron) frame and aging treatment, four-guide column vertical layout, stable and reliable accuracy. The main components of the machine are selected from international famous brand products to form a superior machine-electricity-hydraulic-pneumatic integrated system, which makes the machine action reliable, low energy consumption, long life, and high production efficiency.

The Eps shape moulding machine  for lost foam casting is controlled by a programmable controller (PLC), and the touch-type man-machine interface can set the process parameters, and the built-in program can be applied to most of the foam products molding process.

The EPS Shape Forming Machine adopts pressure heating control mode, users can adjust according to their needs.

The movement is driven by a cylinder hydraulic system, with a differential circuit, and it runs smoothly.
