Embodiment 1

[0026] Embodiment 1: Carry out EPS pre-foaming as follows:

[0027] (1) The EPS beads are continuously fed into the foaming chamber 9 of the continuous foaming and sorting device, and the steam pressure is 1.2kg / cm from bottom to top. 2 , high-temperature dry steam with a steam temperature of 102°C. Under the action of the steam, the EPS beads randomly collide and jump in the foaming chamber and perform the pre-foaming process at the same time; the stirring and mixing effect provided by the airflow effectively avoids mechanical stirring. Shearing action prevents the EPS beads from breaking during the pre-foaming stirring process.

[0028] (2) After the pre-foaming process continues for a period of time, the volume of some EPS beads increases, and the false specific gravity of foaming decreases to obtain pre-expanded products. The foamed EPS beads are located in the middle and lower part of the foaming chamber to continue pre-foaming;

[0029] (3) Pass laminar flow air into t...

[0034] (1) The EPS beads are continuously fed into the foaming chamber 9 of the continuous foaming and sorting device, and the steam pressure is 0.9kg / cm from bottom to top. 2, high-temperature dry steam with a steam temperature of 95°C, under the action of the steam, the EPS beads randomly collide and jump in the foaming chamber and carry out the pre-foaming process at the same time;

[0035] (2) After the pre-foaming process continues for a period of time, the volume of some EPS beads increases, and the false specific gravity of foaming decreases to obtain pre-expanded products.

Abstract

The invention discloses an EPS (expandable polystyrene) pre-foaming method. A continuous foaming sorting device is adopted to carry out the steps of steam continuous foaming, laminar flow air sorting,intermittent air flow sorting and the like. The EPS pre-foaming method can efficiently and continuously carry out pre-foaming operation to produce pre-expanded material particle finished products, and continuously collects and separates qualified pre-expanded material particles in the continuous pre-foaming process, so that the density gradient of the finished products of the pre-expanded particles is reduced, the pre-expanded particles prepared by the method are uniform in specific gravity, and the proportion of oversize or undersize specific gravity particles is relatively small. Pre-expanded materials are screened through the height and the flow speed of laminar flow air, so that the defect that during continuous pre-foaming, beads of different particle sizes are different in foaming specific gravity within the same time is overcome. By intermittent jet air winnowing, the pre-expanded materials or chippings with too small volume weight are effectively separated and removed, and meanwhile, the sorting precision is improved, and the situation that qualified pre-expanded materials are removed by mistake in the sorting process is prevented. A baffle is additionally arranged, so that the EPS beads can be prevented from entering a transition square tube in the bouncing process.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of preparation of expandable polystyrene, in particular to an EPS pre-foaming method. Background technique [0002] The process of manufacturing foamed products from expandable polystyrene (EPS) beads is usually divided into three processes: pre-foaming, curing and molding. The pre-foaming process refers to heating the bead product to expand to a certain extent, so that the density of the product can be greatly reduced during molding, and the gradient of density change inside the product can be reduced. Typically, the mixture containing the blowing agent is heated above the glass transition temperature. The pre-foamed material is still granular, but its volume is dozens of times larger than before, and it is generally called pre-expansion. Manufacturing density 0.1g / cm 3 For the above foam products, the beads can be directly molded, omitting the two processes of pre-foaming and curing. There are batch method and c...
