BM-1600 Automatic Block Molding Machine — eps block molding machines by ChinaEps, CE & ISO 9001 certified.
The BM-1600 is a high-capacity automatic EPS block molding machine engineered for industrial-scale foam block production. It produces blocks up to 1,600 x 1,000 x 500 mm with 4-6 minute cycle times, high-capacity vacuum cooling, and remote monitoring capability at 37 kW installed power. Built for large-scale manufacturers producing insulation boards, civil engineering geofoam blocks, and high-volume packaging materials.

Three production problems eliminated by this machine — with engineered, measurable solutions.
Insulation board factories standardise on 1,600 mm-wide EPS blocks (matches building wall panel widths) — BM-1400 too narrow, BM-1800 oversized
BM-1600 (block size 1,600 × 1,000 × 500 mm, 4-6 min cycle, 37 kW) is the industry standard for insulation board producers — block dimensions match the cutting machine without trimming.
Larger block volume + 1.6m mold means cooling time becomes the bottleneck — without proper vacuum cooling, cycle creeps to 8-10 min
BM-1600 includes 2-stage vacuum cooling (90 kPa pump + spray-water assist) — holds 4-6 min cycle even at 0.12 MPa working pressure.
Eight engineered subsystems that make this cutting line production-grade. Each component is sourced, built, and tested for industrial duty cycles.
Larger cavity than BM-1400 for thicker, wider blocks. Sized for mid-large insulation factories targeting 2,000-3,500 t/year output.
Reinforced stainless steel walls. Integrated steam jacket for uniform heating. Quick-change cavity insert (5-7 hour changeover). Removable steam-screens.
250-ton clamping for the larger cavity area. Prevents flash on dense FR-EPS blocks.
Twin hydraulic cylinders. Closing speed 70-100 mm/s. Pressure-hold during steam phase. Safety interlock against unauthorized steam injection.
4-zone steam chest (vs 2-zone on BM-1400) for uniform steam distribution across the larger cavity.
316 stainless steam plates. Independent PLC steam control per zone. Working pressure 0.10-0.14 MPa (slightly higher than BM-1400 for denser fusion).
Higher-capacity vacuum pump matched to larger cavity volume.
11 kW water-ring vacuum pump. Larger vacuum tank buffer. Reaches 0.06 MPa in 60-90 seconds. Combined with water-spray cooling.
6-8 pneumatic injection guns (vs 4-6 on BM-1400) for uniform fill across the larger cavity.
Air-assist 0.3-0.6 MPa. Anti-static design. Material level sensors per fill point. Recipe-controlled fill timing.
Same Siemens PLC quality as BM-1400. 10" HMI for richer recipe management.
Siemens S7-1200 PLC. 10" Weintek HMI. Recipe library for 25+ density variants. USB recipe export; optional Ethernet/IP for MES.
Reinforced ejection system for the heavier blocks. Smooth ejection without surface damage on premium blocks.
Hydraulic pusher with cushioned slow-start. Inner mold release coating. Block position sensors. Compatible with conveyor integration.
Enhanced cooling for dense (25-30 kg/m³) blocks where core heat is the cycle-time bottleneck.
316 stainless nozzles. Water flow 10-18 L/min (higher than BM-1400). Closed-loop filtration. 30-40% faster cycle vs air-only on dense blocks.
Every advantage backed by measurable specs — no marketing claims without data.
60% larger block volume per cycle — fewer cycles for same production target.
Vacuum cooling system holds cycle low even on large blocks.
Eliminates side trimming step — 100% useful yield from each block.
This machine is widely used across multiple industries and production scenarios.
A clear schedule keeps the line running. Built-in safety systems protect operators and product alike.
Inspect mold cavity. Check 4-zone steam pressures. Clean steam-screen perforated plates. Verify hydraulic pressure (250-ton spec). Test e-stop.
Lubricate hydraulic seals. Inspect vacuum pump impeller. Check 6-8 pneumatic fill nozzles. Drain steam condensate from all 4 zones.
Clean cavity interior. Inspect steam injection hole patterns. Service vacuum pump. Recalibrate 4 steam pressure transducers.
Inspect 250-ton hydraulic cylinders for seal wear. Replace vacuum pump seal. Inspect cooling spray nozzles for erosion.
Major overhaul: replace hydraulic seals, service PLC battery, recertify safety circuit, update PLC firmware.
