PS Foam Extrusion Line

Product catalog summary
Overview: The PS Foam Extrusion Line is a high-output system designed for producing expanded polystyrene sheets, primarily used in food packaging applications such as meat trays, fruit and vegetable trays, egg cartons, clamshell packaging, and disposable plates, cups, and bowls.
Key Features:
  • Extrusion output of approximately 700 kg/h.
  • Innovative cooling screw ensures uniform melt temperature distribution.
  • Capability to blend CO2 with butane as blowing agents.
  • Sheet thickness range from 1.2 mm to 5.0 mm.
Specifications:
  • Layflat Width: 2 x 1080 mm or 2 x 1270 mm.
  • Primary Extruder Diameter: 150 mm; Secondary Extruder Diameter: 180 mm.
  • Die Diameter: 180 mm or 200 mm with adjustable die gap during operation.
  • Cooling/Sizing Drum Diameter: 705 mm or 814 mm.
  • Maximum Roll Diameter: 2000 mm; Core Inner Diameter: 305 mm.
System Components:
  • Loss-in-weight feeding system for accurate blending.
  • Gas injection system compatible with multiple blowing agents.
  • Hydraulic screen changer system and hydrocarbon safety sensors.
  • Internal and external die lip air rings and external air ring on cooling drum.
Operational Advantages:
  • Die lip gap adjustments can be made without shutting down the line, reducing material and labor costs.
  • Macro provides comprehensive operational support, including process training and after-sales service.
Considerations: Maximum extrusion output can vary based on factors such as resin melt index, material formulation, sheet thickness, foam density, and temperature/pressure profile.

PS Foam Extrusion Line-1

PS Foam Extrusion Line High Output Line for Expanded Polystyrene Sheet Key Features:  Extrusion Output ~ 700 kg/h  Innovative cooling screw guarantees uniform melt temperature distribution  CO2 can be blended with butane  Thickness range of 1.2 mm - 5.0 mm Meat trays Fruit & vegetable trays Egg cartons Clamshell packaging Plates, cups, bowls Macro’s PS Foam Extrusion Line is a tandem extruder system that produces expanded polystyrene sheet (EPS) at output rates up to 700 kg/h. The key feature of the line is a newly designed innovative cooling screw that guarantees efficient cooling of the melt and highly uniform melt temperature distribution in the secondary extruder. This not only allows extrusion to occur at elevated outputs but also creates advantageous properties within the foam structure, such as an increased proportion of closedcells, improving the overall strength of the foamed sheet. The die is designed so die lip gap adjustments can be performed without shutting down the line, saving costs on material and labour. The line is equipped with a lossin-weight feeding system that regulates an accurate blending ratio. The gas injection system can work with a range of physical blowing agents, and more than one agent can be injected simultaneously, if needed. Along with the line, Macro provides the know-how to operate it; Macro supplies the complete recipe along with process training, and stands behind the machinery with industry-leading after sales support. As with all Macro machinery, the line is constructed using the latest technology, highest quality materials and su
