Bead transfer lines are used during both the first and second expansion stages in EPS production, depending on the process requirements. These systems vary based on whether they are integrated into block molding or shape molding setups. The interior surfaces of the transfer pipes must be smooth to prevent friction damage to the EPS beads. Additionally, sharp angular turns should be avoided to maintain the bead structure and quality during transfer.
Automating these transfer lines helps reduce manual labor, lowers operational costs, and ensures a consistent flow of material throughout the production cycle. Eprotech’s automated systems are engineered for both reliability and integration with other EPS machinery.
