Based on the successful WIESER developments, VIRO EPS-SYSTEMS machines are designed and built for high availability, a broad performance spectrum, minimum maintenance and low energy consumption. You can choose from a large variety of solutions with advanced technology for fully automatic production, according to your specific requirements.

More than 50 years of experience in industrial manufacturing of high quality machines, make VIRO EPS-SYSTEMS a trusted and reliable partner for EPS converters all over the world.

MISSION

PROGRESS AND TRADITION are the keywords for a permanent communication with EPS processors worldwide, ensuring a constant development of systems for more profitable production, always considering the actual requirements of the respective market areas, in order to properly react to our customers needs and budget.

LEGACY

WIESER has been supplier to the EPS industry since 1958. Many state-of-the-art systems for processing Expandable Polystyrene were based on, or at least influenced by the WIESER developments and innovations. VIRO was founded 1964, and since then developped a very good reputation in the fields of packaging machines. Since 2004, VIRO and WIESER successfully work together under the name of EPS-SYSTEMS, to serve the EPS industry with Excellent Processing Solutions.

EPS: PEARL OF PLASTICS

E.P.S. (Expandable Polystyrene) is a light and rigid plastic foam insulation material, produced from solid particles of polystyrene. Expansion is achieved by virtue of small amounts of pentane gas as blowing agent dissolved into the polystyrene base material during production. The gas expands under the action of heat, applied as steam, to form perfectly closed cells of EPS. These cells occupy approximately 40 times the volume of the original polystyrene bead. The EPS beads are then moulded into appropriate forms, suited to their application.

EPS APPLICATIONS

w Exterior lnsulation sheets (EIFS)w Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs)w Structural lnsulation Panels (SIPS)w Sandwich Panelsw Pipe insulation shellsw Fillers for concrete (void foam)w Geo Foamw Floatation devicesw Cornices and pillarsw Packaging materialw Seedling traysw Containers, cups and trays

EPS MANUFACTURING

1) Pre-expansionPolystyrene granules are expanded by free exposure to steam, to form larger beads, each consisting of a series of non-interconnecting cells.

2) ConditioningAfter expansion, the beads still contain small quantities of both condensed steam and pentane gas. As they cool in the silos, air gradually diffuses into the pores, replacing, in part, the other components.

3) MouldingThe beads are moulded to form blocks, boards or customised products. The mould serves to shape and retain the pre-foam, and steam is again used to promote expansion. During moulding, the steam causes fusion of each bead to its neighbours, thus forming a homogeneous product.

4) ShapingFollowing a short cooling period, the moulded block is removed from the machine, and after further conditioning, may be cut or shaped asrequired, using hot wire elements or other appropriate techniques.

5) Post-production processingThe finished product can be Iaminated with foils, plastics, roofing felt, fibreboard or other facings such as roof or wall cladding material,cement or polyurea based coatings.

EPS SYSTEMS

EPS AND THE ENVIRONMENTEPS contains 98% from air, it is therefore one of the best insulation materials nowadays, thus helping to save energy. EPS is 100% recyclable and contains no CFCs or HCFCs.

ADVANTAGESDust, fluffs and fines are affecting efficiency of the equipment and may Iead to severe damage of machine parts. A Iot of dust and fines become present during EPS conversion and will accumu-late without taking precautions. Slow moving granulators like the granulator VBM 1350 produce almost no dust and in combination with the dust extraction system VDD 1300, the overall dust Ioad can be minimized, thus reducing machine downtime for cleaning and optimizing the process.
