XPS downstream system

The downstream system is designed to integrate with the existing extrusion line, based on product specifications and production goals. Plant configuration, factory layout, capacity and automation levels guide design decisions right from the start.

Thickness Measurement

Measurement system that monitors the thickness of the XPS boards along the production line.

Roughing station

The Roughing station allows milling widths of up to 200 mm to be obtained, thereby preparing the board for the next processes.

Flying knife

The Flying knife is a single-blade cutting system driven by linear motors.
The carriage is made of aluminium to reduce the moving weights and is equipped with a V-shaped blade that can cut in both directions.

Paternoster

The Paternoster system is available in various configurations, tailored to the requirements of the production line.
It can be used to cool the boards, to reverse the direction of the line or to compensate for differences in height between the various sections of the system.

Planer

The Planer and Groover system allows for fine adjustment of XPS board thickness. The processing parameters are automatically adjusted to suit production requirements, ensuring dimensional accuracy and process repeatability.

Thermobonding

System for the thermal bonding of XPS boards using temperature and pressure control.

Longitudinal Milling

The longitudinal milling system uses high-friction belts and vacuum systems to ensure perfectly square panels and a high-quality surface finish.

Final milling

It combines the milling, cutting (if required) and stacking operations of boards ready for the packaging line.

Wire Cutting

A wire-cutting system for cutting XPS boards to specified dimensions and sizes.

packaging

Our systems handle the panel packaging and palletising stages following post-processing operations.

Example of an XPS downstream plant configuration

The rendering depicts a typical XPS downstream plant configuration and illustrates the main post-processing stages and the role of each system within the line. It is not a standard solution, but a functional representation of the components that can make up a downstream system.
