In the production process of extruded polystyrene (XPS) boards, the raw material mixing stage is the "first hurdle" determining the uniformity of foam pores and the strength of the finished board. Its effectiveness directly affects the stability of subsequent processes and the quality of the final product.For a long time, many XPS production lines have relied on traditional single-shaft or horizontal mixing equipment. However, facing the complex proportions of various materials such as polystyrene particles, foaming agents, nucleating agents, and flame retardants, traditional equipment generally suffers from pain points such as long mixing cycles, insufficient uniformity, and difficult cleaning. These problems not only restrict the stability of the extrusion process but also affect the uniformity of the thermal conductivity of the boards.To address this industry challenge, CO-NELE recently launched the CMP500 vertical shaft planetary concrete mixer, providing XPS insulation material manufacturers with an efficient and reliable solution.⚙️ Core Advantages: Multi-dimensional Mixing, Reshaping Efficiency BenchmarksMulti-dimensional mixing trajectory, completely eliminating "mixing dead zones": The CMP500 mixer breaks through the limitations of traditional single-shaft rotation, adopting a unique "rotation + eccentric" planetary motion trajectory. The mixing blades revolve around the cylinder while simultaneously rotating at high speed, subjecting the material to uniform shear force and convection circulation within the 500-liter effective volume. This design ensures high homogenization of polystyrene particles and trace additives such as foaming agents, nucleating agents, and masterbatches at both the macroscopic and microscopic levels, fundamentally eliminating the problem of uneven mixing.High efficiency and energy saving, significantly shortening the pretreatment cycle: Thanks to its forced convection design principle, the CMP500 achieves a revolutionary improvement in mixing efficiency. Actual application data shows that the raw material pretreatment cycle has been drastically reduced from 15-20 minutes in traditional processes to 3-5 minutes. This not only significantly reduces unit energy consumption but also effectively improves the continuous operation capability and capacity of the entire XPS production line.
