SKUM
MODEL MBFM- I FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF BONDED FOAM FROM
FLEXIBLE POLYURETHANE FOAM GRANULES.
With the
constant development of Polyurethane Foam Industry in
India, the trend for Bonded Foam is now picking up, and
Foam Manufacturers have
"better-late-than-never," realised an
economical mode of converting waste foam and trimmings
into a fantastic new product, which has better
resilience and higher density, than the normal Flexible
Polyurethane Foam.
In most
Middle-East Countries, Bonded Foam is the only product
that has been found to be most suitable for floor
seating arrangement and as it is customary in certain
Countries of the World to sit on the floor, the Bonded
Foam has received a very special place. Since this
product is in such good demand, it has been found
affordable to granulate even good foam into granules to
produce Bonded Foam.
It is
therefore clearly understood, that Bonded Foam is not a
Waste Product, but a Bi-Product of Flexible Polyurethane
Foam.
PROCESS
The
process involves, mixing of foam granules with fresh
chemicals and filling up moulds and steaming it to allow
the fresh foam to act as glue, and bond the granules.
Bonded Foam can be manufactured in a density range from
40-200 Kgs./M³. There is no waste in the production of
Bonded Foam, as it is manufactured in a rectangular flat
topped shape, in sizes that suit most end-products.
Trimmings of Bonded Foam can be re-granulated and
re-used for production of Bonded Foam.
SYSTEM
The SKUM
Model MBFM-I, comprises mainly of a mixing chamber with
two hydraulically operated screw agitators, a
pre-polymer spraying system, a mould filling and
pressing system, a steaming system and a de-moulding
station.
The MBFM-IA,
has a separate weight box with load cells above the
mixing chamber, so that the granulated foam can be
transported in it to the required weight, while the
mixing chamber is processing one batch of Bonded Foam
Block. This system enables to increase the production
capacity of the plant by 50% as compared to MBFM-I.
The MBFM-II
model, has two press stations instead of one, besides
the weight box with load cells, thereby giving an
increase of 100% in production capacity, compared to
MBFM-I.
