How the RF02 Foam Rebonding Machine Works?

Crushing Foam → Adding glue → Pouring scrap → Mould moving & Press scrap →Steaming  → Remould →Edge trimming  → Cut into slices →  Cut into other shapes

* The rebonded foam blocks from RF rebonded foam-making machine can be made into many products. These include carpet underlay, gym mats, packaging materials, and acoustic panels. They’re great for special uses that need the unique qualities of recycled polyurethane foam.

Rebonded Foam Machine Advantages

The rebonded foam machine is great for sustainability. It recycles scrap foam into useful products. I've seen factories cut waste by up to 90% with this technology. The process starts with a shredding machine that breaks down foam scraps. Then, the workers add chemicals to the scraps in the mixing vessel. These machines can handle various densities of polyurethane foam scraps simultaneously. Modern systems have adjustable voltage settings and improved accuracy for consistent output. Mattress makers can save a lot by recycling materials for affordable base layers.

Frequently Asked Questions about Foam Recycling Equipment

Q: How does the rebonding process work?

A: Foam flocks from a crusher are blown into a mixing drum, mixed with adhesive (prepolymer and catalyst), dropped into a mold, and then pressed under hydraulic pressure with steam to form bonded foam blocks.

Q: What makes the steam version special?

A: The steam version produces foam 5 times faster than regular versions, creates higher quality foam with better tensile strength, provides high-temperature sterilization, and features automatic mold opening.

Q: How to choose the density?

A: Two factors determine the density: first, the density and particle size of the broken sponge input material; second, the ratio of sponge to glue, which needs to be calculated for each production run.

Q: Where is the glue added in the process?

A: The glue is added to the mixing tank on the top of the machine. In the standard setup, glue is poured manually while adding the sponge and stirring to ensure more even distribution.

Q: What components make up a complete rebonding production line?

A: A typical line includes a shredding machine (foam crusher), a mixer, and the rebonded foam-making machine.

Q: How is the machine controlled?

A: The RF02 features electronic adjustments via a touchscreen interface for all parameters, with automatic adjustment capabilities and recipe storage for consistent production.

Q: What types of products can be made from the rebonded foam?

A: Rebonded foam is used for carpet underlay, packaging, acoustic insulation, gymnastic mats, furniture components, sports equipment, and other cushioning applications.

Q: Can different types of foam waste be processed?

A: Yes, the RF02 can process various types of polyurethane foam waste from different sources.

Q: How does the efficiency of a used rebonding foam machine compare to a new one?

Used rebonding foam machines typically show 15-30% lower efficiency than new models. This reduction comes primarily from wear on critical components like the shredding machine, mixing system, and hydraulic press. Older continuous foaming machines may use outdated technology for controlling the chemical mixing ratios, resulting in more waste. Newer models often include computerized batch foaming machine controls for precise formulations.
