As the world becomes more globalized, the need for more housing gets more and more urgent. For instance in Russia housing construction is given the top priority. It is predicted that 55 million square meters of housing will have been constructed by the end of 2007, whereas this number will have increased to 80 million square meters per year by 2010.
Along with the growth of capital construction the market of construction materials is also expanding. It is becoming more important to shield objects from frosting and to provide them with proper heat — and sound insulation. That is why there is a constant growth in the demand for thermal insulation materials. The greater part of the insulator market is occupied by expanded polystyrene (styrofoam).
As expanded polystyrene consists of 90% of air it is more profitable to launch the manufacturing at a construction site.
Our specialists are always willing to help you launch and set up the manufacturing of expanded polystyrene.
Vyatkastroydetal is engaged in manufacturing, delivering and installing the equipment for production of EPS insulation sheets. We also adjust the production line to the needs of the specific customer, issue technical data sheets and organize the installation and starting-up of the equipment.
The equipment is designed to manufacture expanded polystyrene and thermal insulation sheets with the trademark density ranging from 15 to 50 in accordance with the Russian State Standard.
All the machines for the production of expanded polystyrene can be divided into five separate groups:
- Preexpander;
- Pneumatic feeding facilities which feed the bunkers (preexpanded material and crushed foam transportation);
- Operating pneumatic system and electrical accessories for the semiautomatic process control;
- Molding equipment;
- Block and sheet cutting equipment and grinders.
Expandable polystyrene (EPS) is used as the material to manufacture EPS sheets.
