high-efficiencyautomatic

With Infinergy®, BASF SE offers the world´s first expanded TPU (E-TPU). This innovative material is elastic like rubber, but resiliently light. It combines the properties of TPU with the advantages of foams and is characterized by low density, high elasticity and outstanding resilience. With the Kurtz ENERGY FOAMER moulding machine, Kurtz is the first and only machine manufacturer to provide a process sequence for E-TPU that has been tested and optimized in series production. Special filling technologies and vaporization variants enable reliable production despite the very narrow processing window. The Kurtz ENERGY FOAMER machine technology is already being used successfully on a large scale in a special customer application. Revolutionary end products of a global player are produced on the Kurtz machines for the complete world market. Here, in close cooperation with the customer and the Infinergy manufacturer BASF SE, it has been possible to decisively optimize productivity and energy efficiency. This is another example of the successful implementation of the "Blue Competence" challenges at Kurtz. • High energy absorption • High structural strength with low weight • Very good thermal insulation • Very good acoustic insulation • Very good chemical resistance • Fully recyclable • Process-optimized valve technology with exact reproducibility • Shortest cycle times, lowest energy consumption • Savings due to free design of mold chambers • Longer maintenance intervals, best accessibility • 1,500 mm stroke • Precise positioning with mechanical synchronization
