foaming

With dry foaming, the hetech group introduces a revolutionary technology for particle foam production without steam. Using IR heating, energy consumption is reduced by up to 80 %, while enabling a finer cell structure, improved welding quality, and fast material changes. Dry foaming is the forward-looking solution for environmentally friendly, efficient, and flexible production.

Dry foaming delivers numerous advantages: no steam infrastructure is required, significantly lowering investment and operating costs. The 100% dry processes not only ensure energy-efficient manufacturing, but also make an important contribution to the decarbonization of production. In addition, the technology is perfectly suited for processing technical plastics and bioplastics, meeting even the most complex requirements. With targeted IR heating, it achieves highly homogeneous results while keeping emissions low – a clear answer to the challenges of modern industrial production.
