Moulding
The steam chest moulding stage begins when the pre-expanded beads are injected into a mould. Steam is then introduced, causing the beads cell structure to soften and further inflate. The combination of steam pressure and temperature fuses the beads together, providing a mechanically stable moulded product. The cycle time of this final moulding stage is dependent on the mould configuration, part density and the type of resin. A combination of water and vacuum are used to cool and stabilize the finished part.

In certain designs, this process allows us to mould around inserts placed within the tool. This allows for the manufacture of ready-to-use components or for packaging and materials handling products to be used as part of a system.
