The hetech preex high pressure pre-expander is specifically designed for the processing of EPP and other high-performance materials.
By operating at elevated pressure levels, the system enables precise density control and produces material with optimized properties for demanding applications.

The preex high pressure system uses controlled high-pressure steam expansion:

  • raw material is expanded under increased pressure conditions
  • precise control of pressure and temperature ensures uniform bead structure
  • the process enables consistent density levels across batches
  • optimized expansion reduces material variance and improves downstream processing

This results in high-quality beads suitable for technical and structural applications.

  • Process type: high-pressure steam pre-expansion
  • Material focus: EPP and other high performance materials
  • Density control: highly precise and repeatable
  • Process stability: optimized for demanding materials
  • automotive applications (e.g. energy-absorbing components)
  • technical molded parts
  • applications requiring high mechanical performance
  • products where weight reduction and stability are critical
  • significant transport cost savings
  • consistent material quality for demanding applications
  • improved mechanical properties of expanded material
  • reduced material variance in downstream processes
  • ideal for high-performance materials like EPP
