New Kurtz BLOCK FOAMER
Kurtz sends new BLOCK FOAMER onto the market
Maximum productivity, flexibility and profitability with top quality, those are the characteristics of the Kurtz block moulds. In close cooperation with an experienced partner, the Kurtz foam machine team has developed the new generation of BLOCK FOAMER – with a lot of innovations and advantages in block mould processing.
Constructional limitations in the parent factory, in particular the height of the hall and design of the lifting gear, motivated us to look for a partner to build our block moulds in future. We found the partner in the firm of Thermaloc in North Italy, who will exclusively manufacture our product. An important selection criterion for us was the fact that this company has its own know-how, as some of the workers were active in EPS block mould construction for a number of years.
But simply finding new clothes for the old technique was not enough for us. But what could be innovative if you are talking about block manufacturing? In the end, a lot of things occurred to us together. The outcome is the BLOCK FOAMER. There follows a brief outline for all block processors who wish to extend their competitive advantages even further … An optimised media guidance accelerates vaporisation. In combination with specific slotted sheets, which manifest a large free surface, the mass is reduced on the surface of the blocks and the vapour can do its job on the foam immediately. This results in higher productivity and lower energy consumption.
The drive system of the movable side wall is infinitely adjustable and unique. In the design, importance was placed on the greatest possible freedom from maintenance. At the same time, it provides the possibility of compacting blocks, which can be used in the processing of regenerated materials and to reduce cupping. The BLOCK FOAMER has been designed for a maximum block density of up to 70 kg/m³.
Infinite adjustment – fast, low on maintenance
If blocks are to be changed in their height and also in their length, there are very expensive solutions on the market – demanding even specific constructional measures such as a pit. Others change the top of the block mould and impair the quality of the block. All of them are subject to very high wear. Here too, we set new standards: with the BLOCK FOAMER, we provide a comfortable possibility of changing with infinite adjustment, fast and low on maintenance. A new control concept reduces errors in operation and also makes it possible for beginners to find an efficient process. On a second user level, professionals find even more design leeway. In combination with further innovations such as PANEL FOAMER and ROOF FOAMER, Kurtz is your contact for systems for production of insulation applications from EPS.
