PU production lines
Automotive seat and headrest foam line
Plan a water-heated moulding line for automotive seat cushions, backrests or headrests. Specify the pouring, mould handling and release spraying steps you want to automate.
Representative mould-handling layoutAutomation options to review
| Process step | Available configuration | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Release-agent application | Robot spraying | Mould cavity access, spray path and release-agent requirements |
| PU dispensing | Automatic pouring with a high-pressure foaming machine | Shot weight, material ratio, pour path and access to each cavity |
| Mould handling | Automatic opening and closing with station tracking | Mould dimensions, mounting, cycle sequence and signals to existing equipment |
| Curing and unloading | Water-heated moulding layout | Mould temperature, time to demould and required unloading method |
Define the line around your seat parts
- Part families — Send drawings for each cushion, backrest or headrest. Include target density, hardness and shot weight if available.
- Tooling and timing — List mould weights, cavity count and opening direction. Include the time needed for filling, curing and unloading.
- Production scope — Give the output target per shift and identify the manual operations and equipment you plan to keep.
Buyer questions
Can the line run several seat part families?
Share the dimensions and mould drawings for each family, along with recipe changes and expected batch sizes. These inputs help determine the fixture layout and changeover sequence.
Can I automate one step on an existing line?
Send the current equipment layout, controls and sequence for the operation you want to automate. The manufacturing partner can review available space, access and control interfaces.

Agree the equipment and service scope
- Equipment and options — Confirm the main equipment, moulds, carriers, heating, cooling and automation included in the quotation; options depend on your process.
- Factory utilities — Share the installation country, electrical supply, compressed air, cooling and available floor space for review.
- Material trial and acceptance — If a material trial is planned, agree material supply, test conditions, shot targets and inspection records before the order.
- Installation and support — Agree installation, commissioning, training and spare-parts scope in the quotation. Online technical guidance and training videos are available.
