Moulded EPS
 

Packaging that reduces breakages. Extensive experience in EPS customised packaging design helps us identify needs:

1. Accuracy, dimensions
2. Protection
3. Aesthetics
4. Marketing appeal
5. Handling, stacking
6. Insulation

7. Strength
8. Cost
9. Durability
10. Weight
11. Environmental
12. All of the above

Because of the demands on modern packaging it often requires the use of multiple materials. After design, rigorous product testing is conducted before packaging is put into use. Real world conditions are simulated for shock, drop, vibration, compression temperature and humidity.

Characteristics of EPS mouldings.

1. High strength and rigidity
2. Light weight, lower transport costs
3. Closed cell structure. Presence of air inside the cells imparts cushioning and thermal insulation properties
4. Shock absorption capacity
5. Compatibility with other materials
6. Moisture resistant
7. Higher density, smoother finish
8. Recyclable

Consultation, mould design and mould construction are critical to the quality outcome of the moulded product. Our people are trained in this area, we recognise time spent in this area is beneficial to all concerned. The versatility of EPS with economical moulding processes is why it is used all over the world to protect packaged goods.

EPS PRODUCT COMPONENTRY:

Fridge: Product componentryWhile the concept is not unique, the design and application has been refined to a new level of performance. Desired quality levels in EPS have been raised with better accuracy and surface finish not normally found in the plastic foam industry. The manufacture of EPS product componentry requires modern computer controlled machinery with small dimensional and shape tolerances. Considerations taken into account for design options include: thermodynamic properties, aerodynamics, durability, cost Loft Foam Mouldingeffectiveness and hygiene.

The cost effectiveness of EPS offers the opportunity to manufacture a 3 dimensional shape for an application where it is used as a hidden support structure or hidden and lost during the manufacturing process eg: Full mould casting for engine block (left)

EPS forms an integral component for surfboards and windsurfers. The weight of the EPS is constructed, followed by our CNC cutting the blank contours.
