The molding process of EPP insulation box

Today, with the rapid development of the takeaway industry, ensuring the quality of meals during transportation can help takeaway riders get more positive reviews. In order to ensure food safety and meal quality, more and more takeaway riders have replaced the boxes behind their electric bikes with EPP insulation boxes.


EPP insulation boxes are made of environmentally friendly materials, have no peculiar smell as a whole and can be recycled, and the insulation effect is far superior to other foam materials. So how is such an environmentally friendly insulation box produced? Now, the editor will lead everyone to take a look.


EPP products are all formed by foaming EPP particles. For insulation boxes, particles with a foaming ratio of 15P to 17P are generally used.


Before molding, there must be a suitable mold to fix the shape of the insulation box. The specific molding steps are as follows:


  1. Fill with EPP particles: Use high wind speed to make EPP raw material particles enter the mold at the mold inlet, and make the wind speed at the air outlet greater than the wind speed at the air inlet to ensure that the EPP particles fill the mold.

  2. Preliminary heating and molding: After the mold is filled and compacted, seal the mold, and supplement it with high temperature and high pressure, and then instantly contact and seal to make the raw material particles instantly foam and expand and take shape in the mold. Then further heating is carried out to make the surface more fused.

  3. Cooling: After further heating, cool down to make the EPP particles bond and form. After forming, further cool down to make the temperature of the insulation box around 70 °C. Use the principle of thermal expansion and contraction to prepare for demolding.

  4. Demolding: After spraying water to cool down, when the critical temperature is reached between the mold and the finished product, then perform the demolding operation.

  5. Shaping and drying: Correct the shape and size of the insulation box.


The EPP insulation box uses EPP particles as a whole. The foaming difficulty is relatively high, but overall it is more environmentally friendly and durable. It is a superior product among insulation boxes.
