block

The hetech block product family represents advanced block molding solutions for the efficient processing of EPS.

EPS block molding is one of the key process steps in the production of insulation boards and construction products. It determines the consistency of block quality, reliable material properties, cutting performance and the quality of the final panels.

With the hetech block range, customers can choose from different block molding concepts depending on production layout, available space, block dimensions, product requirements and downstream processing goals.

How block Molding systems Work

During EPS block molding, pre-expanded EPS material is processed into blocks under controlled process conditions.

During the process:

  • pre-expanded EPS beads are filled into the block mold
  • steam is applied to fuse the particles into a homogeneous block structure
  • steam distribution, pressure, cooling and vacuum are controlled according to the block and product requirements
  • the block is stabilized after molding
  • the finished block is demolded and prepared for downstream cutting or further processing

Different block molding technologies are used depending on the production layout, available space, block dimensions, product requirements and downstream processing goals.

For example:

  • vertical blockmold machines support efficient EPS block production where space-efficient machine layout and uniform steam distribution through cross steaming are important
  • horizontal blockmold machines offer flexible block dimensions through variable side settings and good accessibility for operation and maintenance
  • anti bending blockforms help reduce internal stress within the EPS block and minimize panel bending after cutting

The quality of this step directly influences:

  • consistent block quality
  • reliable material properties
  • fusion quality
  • cutting performance
  • dimensional stability of final panels
  • panel bending after cutting
  • process stability
  • overall production efficiency


Based on years of expertise in EPS block molding, hetech block technology is designed to perform these quality-relevant process steps with a high level of precision and repeatability.

The hetech block systems are used across a wide range of industries where EPS blocks and panels with consistent quality are required.

Typical applications include:

  • EPS insulation boards
  • construction applications
  • block and panel production
  • acoustic insulation applications
  • products requiring consistent block quality
  • products requiring high dimensional stability after cutting
  • production environments with downstream cutting processes
  • industrial EPS block production with high quality requirements
