The EPS White Lost Foam Casting Molding Machine is a semi-automatic system that produces expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam patterns used in lost foam casting and for making packaging, prototypes, custom foam parts, sculptures and other industrial foam products. It forms high-precision EPS shapes with efficient, stable quality and a durable steel structure.
Key specs: power 5 kW; voltage options 380V or 415V; weight 2600 kg; dimensions 1900 mm (L) × 1200 mm (W) × 4500 mm (H); core components include motor and other OEM parts; HS Code 84778000; steel structure; color customizable.
Semi-auto indicates that part of the process is automated (pattern forming and some controls) while other steps (loading/unloading molds, adjustments, certain inspections) are performed by an operator. Fully automatic systems can be offered separately if required.
Typical applications include manufacturing protective packaging, producing prototypes, custom foam parts for automotive and construction, artistic foam sculptures and displays, and other industrial applications that require EPS foam products and lost foam casting patterns.
The machine is designed to form EPS (expanded polystyrene) foam shapes. It is not intended for incompatible resins or non-EPS materials unless specially adapted—consult the manufacturer for material compatibility or custom requirements.
The machine produces the EPS foam pattern (the 'lost' foam). After coating with refractory and assembling in unbonded sand, molten metal is poured; the foam pattern vaporizes upon contact with the metal, leaving the cast cavity. This machine handles the pattern production step.
Standard requirements include a stable 380V or 415V power supply capable of delivering 5 kW, a solid level foundation to support the 2600 kg machine, adequate workshop space (account for the stated dimensions plus workspace), proper ventilation for EPS processing, and compliance with local electrical and safety codes. Exact site preparation details will be provided by the supplier.
Cycle time and production capacity depend heavily on pattern size, complexity and process parameters. There is no single value for all parts—contact the supplier with part drawings or volumes for a tailored estimate and expected throughput.
Yes. The machine color can be customized, and there are automatic and semi-automatic operation options. Custom tooling (molds) and pattern-making services are usually available upon request—discuss your specific design and production needs with the manufacturer or sales representative.
Routine maintenance includes regular cleaning of forming cavities and conveyors, inspection and lubrication of mechanical parts, checking electrical connections, monitoring motor and control performance, and replacing wear parts as needed. Follow the supplier's maintenance schedule and guidelines for optimal life and performance.
EPS processing can produce dust and styrene vapors during cutting, coating or casting stages—provide adequate ventilation or fume extraction, use PPE for operators, implement fire prevention measures (EPS is flammable), and follow local environmental and workplace safety regulations. Proper handling and disposal or recycling of EPS waste are recommended.
The product listing notes engineers are available to service machinery overseas. Spare parts for core components (motor and related parts) are typically available—contact the supplier for spare parts lists, delivery times and recommended spare parts stock.
Training is typically available; suppliers commonly offer operator training, machine commissioning and on-site support (including overseas engineers). Confirm training scope and any additional costs with the vendor at order time.
Warranty and extended service contract options vary by supplier. The product description does not list specific warranty terms—request written warranty details, service-level agreements, and optional maintenance contracts from the manufacturer or dealer before purchasing.
Provide the vendor with required specifications (desired machine model, voltage, production volumes, part drawings and any customization needs). The supplier will reply with pricing, lead times, shipping options and any required installation or site-prep information. For overseas orders, discuss freight, customs documentation and on-site commissioning support.
