PU production lines
Oval-track PU foaming line
Move moulds on carriers around a closed track. Compare an electric curing oven and a water-heated layout for the mould temperature and curing time your parts require.

Insulated box line with an oval track
Mould stations move along the track between operations. Operators handle parts and tooling at the stations shown.
Heating options
| Configuration | How it works | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Electric curing oven | Carriers bring the filled moulds through the oven for curing. | Curing temperature, time in the oven and electrical supply |
| Water-heated track | A water-heating system supplies heat for curing on the line. | Target mould temperature, heating connections and utility layout |
Plan the track and mould stations
- Mould carriers — Share the largest mould dimensions, mounting points, weight and cavity count. Include drawings for any carriers you intend to reuse.
- Station sequence — Map where operators prepare moulds, dispense material and demould the parts. Include the time each operation takes.
- Floor layout — Mark the available length and width, aisle clearances and the locations of columns, utilities and loading access.
Buyer questions
Can I use this layout for footwear or cast PU parts?
The manufacturing partner lists insoles, soles, castors and elastomer parts among the applications. Send your material system, mould sizes and curing requirements to review the layout.
How many carriers do I need?
Carrier count depends on curing time, station timing, mould size and target output. Share your current cycle and how many parts each mould produces.

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.
