Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding machine technology, specifically to a PET foam granule feeding machine. Background Technology

[0002] PET foam has good heat resistance, mechanical strength and environmental performance, so it is widely used in construction, vehicles, roof insulation materials, sports equipment, wind energy and other fields. In the production process of PET foam, PET foam granules need to be added.

[0003] An existing foam granule feeding machine, patent publication number CN220997171U, includes a machine body and a screw feeder for conveying granules to the machine body. The screw feeder includes a platform and a hopper. A cutting assembly is provided on the platform. A packaging bag loaded with granules is conveyed to the top of the hopper by a conveying mechanism. The movable part of the cutting assembly acts on the packaging bag to form an opening on the packaging bag that connects to the hopper. The granules in the packaging bag enter the hopper, so that the screw feeder conveys the granules to the machine body. By providing a cutting assembly on the platform of the screw feeder, the existing method of manually pouring granules into the hopper and the method of manually opening packaging bags are effectively replaced.

[0004] However, PET foam granules are relatively light in weight. In the use of the above-mentioned existing technology, the PET foam granules may float in the air due to their light weight, which not only wastes the PET foam granules but also affects the air quality. Utility Model Content
