Pu foam compressing and packaging<br />
machine to reduce economic costs<br />
and environmental impact<br />
In the last few years, the logistics<br />
sector has been experiencing<br />
some critical situation, due to<br />
the suspension for the pandemic,<br />
the post-pandemic recovery<br />
and the geopolitical instability.<br />
This translates into an increase in<br />
the cost of shipping. Therefore,<br />
optimizing shipments becomes<br />
crucial.<br />
Let’s consider the polyurethane<br />
sector. The great advantage of<br />
flexible PU Foam is that it can<br />
be compressed. This gives PU<br />
Foam producers the possibility to<br />
increase the n° of items shipped<br />
by using a compressing and<br />
packaging machine. Let’s take into<br />
consideration an “example” block<br />
of 2x2x1.2 m, volume 4.8 m3,<br />
density 30 kg /m3 and kPa 3.5.<br />
On a standard truck it is possible<br />
to load 12-13 uncompressed<br />
