Maxfoam and Varimax
MAXFOAM is a continuous process slabstock machine that utilises the Trough and Fallplate technology.
The MAXFOAM process involves metering the polyurethane chemicals via accurate metering units to the mixing head where the chemicals are mixed together under controlled conditions and fed into a pre-expansion trough and Fallplate system. The Fallplate is adapted to the necessary length and configuration so that the foam will reach the horizontal conveyor as a fully expanded slab. The principal expansion takes place downwards over the steeply inclined fallplate.
VARIMAX allows width change “on the fly”.

ULTIMA™ enables the manufacture of:
1. Standard MAXFOAM / VARIMAX production of Polyether foams
2. Polyether and Polyester Foams – using Opus foam technology and the Opus ULTIMA™ continuous variable angle Fallplate – pin hole free controlled cell structure.
3. Liquid Laydown Maxfoam for Polyether foams using the Opus ULTIMA™ Fallplate combining pin hole free laydown with the improved MAXFOAM block profile.
