Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of sponge foaming production line, and specifically relates to an automated foaming production line. Background Technology

[0002] Sponges are porous materials with excellent water absorption. Commonly used sponges are made from wood cellulose fibers or foamed plastic polymers. Most sponge production involves foaming raw materials. With technological advancements, automated sponge foaming production lines have become widespread, greatly facilitating production and improving efficiency and foaming quality. However, most automated sponge foaming production lines directly mix raw materials before foaming, without proper material filtration. The quality of different raw materials varies, and impurities may be present due to other factors. These impurities enter the foaming stage along with the raw materials, leading to localized substandard quality in the foamed sponge and affecting its overall appearance and quality.

[0003] Secondly, sponges containing impurities need to be repaired later, which increases labor costs and thus raises the production cost of sponges.

[0004] In summary, the lack of filtration of raw materials in the automated foaming production line for sponges presents several problems during production. Therefore, it is hoped that a new structure can be proposed to solve the aforementioned technical issues. Utility Model Content
