Conveyor chain conveyor system

automatedcentralized

Overview KraussMaffei offers modular oval conveyor systems engineered for efficient, continuous high-volume production of foam components. Mold carriers are built as cassettes mounted on carriages conveyed by a chain driven from a central station featuring a hydraulically pre-tensioned turn station.

Tagline Designed for continuous, high-output foam molding operations.

Key features

• Modular oval layout with a compact footprint compared with conventional carrier+mold arrangements
• Mold carriers as cassettes on chain‑conveyed carriages for rapid indexing and repeatability
• Central chain drive with hydraulically pre‑tensioned turn station for stable motion control
• Electric and pneumatic drive units available for mold opening/closing and foaming position adjustment
• Automatic tool change to maximise uptime and availability
• Custom engineering to adapt the system to specific molds and production requirements

Use cases Widely deployed for mass production of automotive seat cushions and seatbacks, where high numbers of foam components per vehicle and model variety demand maximum flexibility and throughput.

Industries Automotive — seat manufacturing and related foam component production.
