The hetech shape product family represents advanced shape molding solutions for the efficient processing of particle foam.
Shape molding is one of the most important process steps in particle foam production. It determines the final part geometry, dimensional accuracy, surface quality, mechanical properties and overall process efficiency.
With the hetech shape range, customers can choose from different machine concepts depending on material requirements, application, molded part size, processing pressure, mold concept and production goals.
for precise and efficient EPS shape molding applications
for demanding EPP applications with higher processing pressure requirements
fully electrically driven and hydraulic-free, designed for large EPP molded parts and high mold flexibility
for efficient insert-handling and optimized production flow
During shape molding, pre-expanded particle foam material is processed inside a mold under controlled process conditions.
During the process:
Different shape molding technologies are used depending on the material type, processing pressure, molded part size and production requirements.
For example:
The quality of this step directly influences:
Based on years of expertise in particle foam processing, hetech shape technology is designed to perform these quality-relevant process steps with a high level of precision and repeatability.
The hetech shape systems are used across a wide range of industries where lightweight, insulating, protective or energy-absorbing foam components are required.
Typical applications include:
Compared to conventional shape molding systems, the hetech shape range offers significant advantages:
With years of experience in particle foam processing, hetech combines machine technology, automation expertise and practical process knowledge. This supports reliable fusion, stable part geometry and repeatable product quality.
Precisely controlled steam, pressure, cooling, vacuum and demolding processes ensure stable production conditions and reliable part quality.
Electric drive technology enables accurate machine movements and repeatable production results. This supports high dimensional accuracy and consistent molded part quality.
Servo-electric and hydraulic-free drive concepts reduce maintenance requirements and improve machine availability.
By reducing or eliminating hydraulic components, selected hetech shape systems support cleaner and quieter production environments.
The portfolio covers applications from precise EPS shape molding up to demanding EPP applications with higher processing pressure requirements.
The combination of precise machine movements, stable process control, flexible mold integration and efficient handling creates an optimized production process for particle foam molded parts.
