Equipment for Block Molders
Xycorp machinery is a key component in the success of any block molder. Block molders rely on highly productive and long-lasting machinery in order to make a profit in today's market.
Equipment for Block Molders
A Slabber is used to produce large volumes of EPS foam slabs. These machines use a grid of hot wires that are manually set. These machines are generally stationary foam tables (the foam does not move). The grid of hot wires moves across the machine and through the foam blocks. This system creates consistently accurate cuts throughout the entire length of the blocks. The harp has a pivoting design which allows cutting in both directions!
A Downcutter is a stationary foam cutting table that uses an automated vertical moving hot wire grid. This machine has a heavy-duty design and uses a positive drive at all four corners for precision accuracy. This machine comes standard with 10 Long & 20 Short wires. Other options for different block sizes and number of hot wires are available.
Pre-cut EPS slabs are often downcut to provide an accurate dimension for height and length.
Slabber/Downcutter Combo Machines:
The Slabber / Downcutter Combo machine combines both the Slabber machine and the Downcutter machine together. This machine can perform either or both operations without having to move the foam block more than once. The combination of these two machines is also a great space saver.
The contour machine does just what the name implies, it cuts contoured shapes. It is used extensively in making molding for architectural uses. This is the basic function of the Xydroids, although they perform other tasks too, such as, column-turning, 3-d shaping, etc., using various optional attachments.
