The largest of the batch production
systems currently available, the 200 litre (1 tonne per hour) HSM incorporates a number of
features such as:
simple, compact and robust design
new high performance 3rd generation machine geometry
computerised control and monitoring during the cycle
self discharging
fully integratable into product line.
Economic modelling of the
200 litre system indicates that it is particularly suited to high volumes of end of life product
materials such as used tyres and large scale product lines. The low average
processing costs at this scale ensure good economic margins, even for relatively low value
materials.
Given the high
throughputs of mixed end of life product,
processed materials are typically non homogeneous with correspondingly average
performances. Down cycled products can be made from 100% HSM processed (therefore
recycled) materials and demand low to medium material performance, such as smooth
surfaces, tensile strengths of up to 14 MPa, 300 to 400% extension at break and medium to
good chemical resistance.
In general, the higher the specification required, the lower
the throughput rates of the line up to the limits set by the performance of the feedstock.
A number of product lines have been
developed, based on pressing and continuous curing techniques. These lines are
product specific and are therefore developed to meet specific customer requirements.
