Automatic Horizontal Foam Making Machine US Viking Pumps 45 Meter Continuous Tunnel

This automatic horizontal foam making machine pairs a 45 metre continuous tunnel with genuine US Viking gear pumps, a combination chosen by plants that want predictable output and easy spare part sourcing. Viking pumps have a well known reputation for handling viscous polyol and isocyanate with low shear, and their international distribution means a replacement pump can be sourced in most regions without a long wait. The pour carriage moves automatically across the block width following a programmed pattern, and the conveyor speed is synchronised with the metering rate, so a change in output does not disturb the block density. A motorised fall plate with side wall film control holds the crown flat, and a trimming saw at the tunnel exit square cuts the block ends. The machine is operated from a single pedestal with start, stop and recipe selection, which reduces the training time for new operators. The frame is a heavy box section welded structure with accessible panels, so seal replacement and filter cleaning can be done without lifting equipment.

• US Viking Gear Pumps: Genuine Viking metering pumps handle viscous components with low shear and can be replaced from regional stock, cutting overseas spare part lead time.
• 45 Metre Tunnel: The long tunnel gives the foam enough residence time to cure before the block leaves the line, which improves dimensional stability at the cutting stage.
• Automatic Pour Carriage: The carriage follows a stored pour pattern across the block width, so the operator does not need to hand guide the head or time the strokes.
• Synchronised Speed Control: Conveyor speed follows the metering rate automatically, keeping density constant even when output is raised or lowered during a run.
• Flat Crown System: A motorised fall plate and film controlled side walls hold the top surface flat, reducing trimming loss and improving block yield.
• Single Pedestal Control: Start, stop and recipe selection live on one pedestal, which shortens operator training and reduces the chance of a wrong setting at shift change.

The machine is used by foam converters and integrated mattress factories that run several grades every week and need reliable output with simple maintenance. Its Viking pumps are also valued by plants in regions where local service for European pump brands is limited. Because the tunnel exit includes a trimming saw, blocks arrive at the cutting department square and ready for slicing, which reduces handling and improves the accuracy of the first cut on vertical and horizontal machines.

All machined surfaces are coated with anti rust oil, the machine is wrapped in film and braced inside a 40HQ container. Pump documentation from Viking is included with the shipment. The warranty covers twelve months on the pumps, drives and control system and twenty four months on the welded frame. A commissioning engineer can attend site for alignment of the tunnel sections and for pour trials on the customer formulations, and the technical team provides remote assistance for the first three production days.
