Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of foam board production and processing technology, and more specifically, it relates to a steam device for EPS foam board production and molding. Background Technology
[0002] EPS foam board, as a lightweight material with good thermal insulation properties, is widely used in construction, packaging, refrigeration and other industries. However, due to its material properties, EPS foam board is prone to deformation after molding during processing, which affects product quality. Therefore, equipment capable of effectively shaping EPS foam board is needed.
[0003] Existing steam devices often have restricted steam flow paths within the chamber, leading to uneven steam distribution, especially in areas above the inlet and far from the outlet. This affects the uniform heating and shaping of the boards. Furthermore, most steam inlet and outlet designs result in some steam being discharged before being fully utilized after passing through the baffles, reducing steam utilization efficiency and increasing the energy consumption of subsequent condensers, inlet pumps, and outlet pumps. This paper aims to research and improve existing structures and address their shortcomings by providing a steam device for EPS foam board production molding, with a greater practical value.
