Polyurethane processing machines are equipment designed for the precise application of coatings, elastomers, and spray insulation across various industries. They are utilized for tasks such as applying cushioning to rebound elastic components, creating integral skin, and processing hard raw materials such as rotationally molded items, bus and chair upholstery, panels, shoe heels, transmission compressors, and hollow constructions.
The main types of polyurethane processing machines are high-pressure and low-pressure machines. High-pressure polyurethane machines are specially crafted devices for the automated mixing and pouring of polyurethane to manufacture various polyurethane products. These machines include components such as mixing heads, metering equipment, foaming equipment, and others. They find applications in industries such as construction, automotive, medical, consumer products, and more.
