Introduction to Mexico: Kurtz POLY FOAMER with Electric Drive
Another highlight at the Grand Opening of the Kurtz Ersa Manufacturing México production facility in mid-September (see article on page 4) was the Kurtz POLY FOAMER shape moulding machine with e-drive. The “L” version was introduced to the Mexican guests on site.

On the occasion of the opening of Kurtz Ersa Manufacturing México in Ciudad Juárez, Mexican customers from Kurtz Protective Solutions were introduced to a shape moulding machine with electric drive. Kurtz shape moulding machines with e-drive, i.e. purely electric drive, are now in use in many markets. However, not yet in Mexico. The electric drive replaces the machine's hydraulic system. The e-drive is particularly popular with companies in the food packaging industry. This is because the e-drive version is perfectly suitable for the food sector due to its oil-free operation. Kurtz machines with e-drive can of course also be used without restriction in the classic areas of application. The systems with e-drive are very quiet compared to a hydraulically operated machine due to the electric movement. In addition to the low noise level, the system impresses with its fast movements.

EPS processing up to 1.5 bar processing pressure
Kurtz shape moulding machines of type POLY FOAMER with e-drive are available in sizes M and L and are designed for EPS processing up to 1.5 bar processing pressure. The Kurtz machines can be optimized with all common handling options. The customers and business partners of Kurtz Protective Solutions in Mexico responded very positively to the development of an alternative to the hydraulic drive. The system from the Opening Day has meanwhile been sold. In the weeks that followed, it was still available for customer demos and went into production on the customer side at the end of the year.
