PU foaming equipment for automotive seats
Review shot requirements, water heating and mould handling for seat cushions and backrests.
Start with the seat drawing, target density and hardness, and the time needed before demoulding. For an existing line, record where density variation, flash or release problems occur. Compare shot settings, material temperatures, mould condition and the release procedure for each affected mould.
Equipment to review
| Equipment | Why consider it | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| High-pressure foaming machine | Impact mixing and a self-cleaning head | Material system, shot weight and required operating range |
| Small low-pressure machine | Sample work and small parts | Whether the 50–80 g/s range suits the intended shot |
| Automatic car-seat line | Dedicated water-heated configuration | Mould carriers, handling sequence and time to demould |
| Robot release sprayer or demoulding unit | Optional automation | Available space, mould access and automation scope |
What to include in a seat inquiry
- Part requirements — Send cushion or backrest drawings, material data, target hardness and density.
- Mould details — Include dimensions, weight, cavity count and details of any existing carriers.
- Production targets — Include desired output per shift, time to demould and the steps you want to automate.
