Variable foam width in slabstock production

The new system generation for continuous production of slabstock foam sets new standards in terms of flexibility, efficiency and product quality. The JFLEX evo builds upon the concept of the tried and tested JFLEX and optimizes this in vital areas: continuous adjustment of foam widths, improved rise-plate geometry, a standard FLAT-TOP system and integrated walkways along both sides of the foaming tunnel.

Continuous Adjustment of the Foaming Width
A particular highlight of the JFLEX evo is the continuous adjustment of the foam width, which makes the production of a range of products highly flexible and efficient. The quick and convenient adjustment option significantly reduces the set-up time and makes the precise adjustment of the required widths between 1550 and 2300 mm possible. This significantly reduces side – trim losses and noticeably increases raw material efficiency. “We have already revolutionized the market with slow-running continuous slabstock machines with the JFLEX and its established characteristic J-Pipe retaining zone. With the JFLEX evo integrated continuous width adjustment, we now offer our customers another innovative feature so that they can react to the constantly changing market requirements with maximum flexibility and without compromising high foam quality”, explains Daniel Krämer, Mechanical Engineer at Hennecke.

The Flat-top system included as standard ensures evenly formed foam blocks and allows the pre-set foam widths to be adjusted in a matter of seconds. This reduces cutting losses and increases raw material efficiency, whilst simultaneously ensuring a homogenous cell structure and high-quality foams.
