XPS Insulation Board Production Line

Introduction of XPS
XPS (extruded polystyrene) insulation board--- a kind of new insulation material is a high quality polystyrene foam product characterized by smooth skin with a closed-cell structure that looks like a mass of uniform bubbles with common walls between them. There are few, if any, voids between the cells, top and bottom skin. Comparing with other traditional heat insulation materials, such as EPS (Expand Polystyrene Foam), PU (Polyurethane Foam) and Rock wool, XPS is improved in terms of insulation, moisture-proof, compressive strength, durability, convenient installation and low cost. As an ideal heat insulating material, XPS is widely applied in heat preservation and insulation systems, moisture-proof and obstruct systems, with promising potential market.

Advantages of XPS Insulation Board Production Line from HiSuccess International
1. Much cheaper than the lines with same capacities from Europe, only 10% to 20% of their price.
2. As for raw material, European line only can use virgin material which is more expensive, while our line can use 100% recycle materials, such as recycled EPS and GPPS as well as virgin GPPS, which can greatly reduce the cost.
3. Our Lines also can use CO₂ and alcohol as the foaming agent and can produce XPS board free of CFC and HCFC.
4. We can adopt twin screws in first extruder, as well as single screw and our production output is from 200kg per hour to 800kg per hour, which can meet most of the clients’ requirements.
5. With the unique technology that all auxiliary equipments can be online working.
6. More than 10 years experience to produce XPS Production Line.
7. Lowest energy consumption.
8. Awarded CE Certificate.
