MoldMaster use their many
years of knowledge and experience in the paper pulp moulding field to design and manufacture MoldMaster pulp
moulding (molding) systems to extremely high standards.
This wide range of knowledge has benefited all areas of manufacture of
the MoldMaster pulp moulding systems right through from CAD design and
manufacture of precision moulding tools, to the design and manufacture of the
pulp moulding station and the drying machine and the computer control of all
variables in the moulding process. Everyone at MoldMaster pride themselves on
the high levels of commitment they give in order to produce reliable, high
quality pulp moulding systems which produce quality mouldings for our customers
year after year.
A high majority of the
components used in the manufacture of MoldMaster pulp moulding (molding) systems
are stainless steel – 304 stainless steel – and because of this the lifespan
of the MoldMaster pulp moulding (molding) systems is extended:
· Stainless
steel pulper with automatic pulp feed to pulp storage tank.
· Stainless
steel pulp storage tank with agitator.
· Stainless
steel water return and storage tank.
· Stainless
steel moulding (molding) tank with agitator.
· Stainless
steel moulding (molding) platen
· Stainless
steel interconnecting pipe work.
· Stainless
steel moulding (molding) and transfer platens.
· Stainless
steel mould (die) screens (meshes).
The mechanical movements of
the MoldMaster pulp moulding (molding) machine are hydraulically powered and
controlled to give constant moulding accuracy.
The machine uses compressed air for transferring the moulded products so
that the wet moulded products are not distorted or damaged.
An automatic mould (die)
cleaning facility is supplied on the MoldMaster moulding station to clean the
mould (die) on each cycle. This
system also automatically switches to a lower pressure to smooth the outer pulp
moulded surface of the product and to clean the product edges as the forming
mould (die) returns from the stainless steel forming tank.
MoldMaster also provide a high pressure cleaning gun for periodical high
pressure cleaning of the moulds (dies) and wash downs of the pulp moulding
(molding) system.
Moulded (molded) paper pulp
products are made from waste materials and they in turn can be recycled along
with other paper and cardboard. Any
pulp moulded (molded) products that are rejected during the pulp moulding
(molding) process are just used again and recycled.
After the products have
been moulded (molded) they are wet and need to be dried. The MoldMaster MoldMaster pulp moulding systems incorporate
highly energy efficient drying machines.
In addition to recycled
paper (typically newsprint and cardboard), the moulding (molding) process only
requires water and energy. Energy
is required in the form of electricity and fuel for the dryer (usually gas or
oil).
The major output from the
MoldMaster pulp moulding (molding) systems is finished products - environmental
discharges are low. Carbon dioxide
and water vapour are the only air emissions from the process.
All the water is recycled within the MoldMaster pulp moulding (molding)
system. Operating noise levels are
also low. Because of this our
MoldMaster pulp moulding systems are installed in both rural and industrial
areas.
Specially designed air
guides within the drying chamber ensure an even and controlled drying of the egg
trays to give the maximum possible dimensional stability to the egg trays.
440 metal dryer trays measuring 750 mm by 400 mm are supplied and five
dryer trucks with the drying machine.
The moulding unit is of
modular construction for ease and speed of building and commissioning on your
site. All pipe work required for
the machine to connect the pumps, valves, tanks, etc is pre-piped at our factory
with stainless steel piping.

An electrical control panel
and temperature control system is also provided. The air within the drying machine is guided over the moulded
egg trays and re-circulated with approximately 10% of the saturated air being
passed through the exhaust system to atmosphere. You the customer would provide the exhaust ducting from the
exhaust connection to atmosphere.
