What Is The Cost Of Continuous Foaming Machine?
1. Equipment factors
Technical configuration
Automation degree: Manual operation equipment has low cost, while fully automatic (PLC control, intelligent temperature control, automatic cutting) has high price.
Production capacity and specifications
Production speed: The larger the output per hour (such as more than 30m³), the higher the equipment volume and power requirements, and the higher the cost.
Foaming width: Equipment that can produce wider foam (such as more than 2m) requires customized design and is more expensive.
Material adaptability
Ordinary PU foaming machines have low costs, while equipment that can handle special materials such as flame retardant foam and medical grade silicone foam requires special materials (such as anti-corrosion alloys), which increases costs by 30%~50%.
2. Production demand factors
Foam type and process
Open/closed cell foam: Different processes may lead to differences in equipment structure.
Foaming density: High density (such as above 200kg/m³) requires a stronger pressure system, which affects the cost.
Product complexity
Simple board production equipment is cheap. If special-shaped cutting, multi-layer composite and other functions are required, additional modules (such as CNC cutting machines) are required.
3. Long-term use cost
Energy efficiency
Energy-saving equipment (such as variable frequency drive) has a high initial cost, but the long-term electricity cost savings are significant.
Maintenance and consumables
The replacement cost of high-precision mixing heads can reach tens of thousands of yuan per time, and the complexity of the equipment structure affects the difficulty of maintenance.
Downtime loss
Equipment with poor stability has a high failure rate, which indirectly increases production costs.
4.In general, basic domestic equipment: about RMB 100,000 to 500,000
Suitable for small and medium-sized production needs, with simpler functions and lower production capacity (such as producing a few cubic meters of foam per hour).
Mid- to high-end domestic/joint venture equipment: about RMB 500,000 to 2 million
Higher degree of automation (such as PLC control), greater production capacity (10 to 30 cubic meters per hour), suitable for large-scale production
