2 EMMotion EMShuttle Automotive On the road to the Green Car more and more car manufacturers and the automotive supply industry opt for the technical innovations in particle foams. In essence they replace steel components leading to an enormous weight reduction as well as increased technical performance. In this context EPP is in the foreground with characteristics that help improve the safety of all traffic participants. Products such as bumpers, kneepads, headrests, seats, and crash pads made of EPP have long since become the standard in innovative cars and the average utilization of EPP per vehicle is rapidly increasing. However, because of the good processing capabilities and cost advantages, sun visors and load carriers are also being manufactured using particle foams. Because of the possibility to foam in inserts made of steel and plastic, assembly costs can be cut and the parts spectrum can be reduced enormously. Best suited is the EMShuttle product family which has long since secured pole position in the manufacturing of EPP parts. Erlenbach s electronically driven moulding machines of the EMMotion product family provide the best solution for economical manufacturing of shape moulding parts. Short cycle times, low energy consumption, high production volume, minimum production costs, and high positioning accuracy guarantee business success for the manufacturer.

3 EMTower EMBead Construction industry The reduction of energy consumption and CO2 emissions leads to a true boom in building insulation using EPS. The white and grey EPS boards cut from EPS blocks have become an indispensable product for insulation used in building sites. And this involves both heat insulation as well as sound-absorption. ICF (Insulating Concrete Forms) elements made of EPS enable a massive, fast and cost-effective building process while at the same time insulating the outer and inner walls. With its special shuttle technology, the EMShuttle product family has grown to become the leading machine concept in the manufacturing of ICF elements in particular when applying inserts. In interior construction, perimeter boards, floor heating boards, and decorative elements have long since become standards. With the EMTower product family Erlenbach avails of a broad product range of block mould systems. Regardless if it concerns a fixed block size or a flexible length and width, the production requirements are optimally met. The specially developed Anti-Bending of Erlenbach avoids the bending of EPS plates and therewith increases the quality, saves costs, and shortens throughput times.

4 EMHandling EMBase Packaging Cold or warm, EPS and EPP packaging fulfill all requirements of modern and secure packaging which have become indispensible in our daily lives. From pizza boxes, fish or fruit boxes, plant pallets or highquality packaging materials for technical products: everything we love and hold dear is protected by EPS or EPP. The packing materials made of particle foams are for the large part reusable and are 100% recyclable. The electric and hydraulic shape moulding machines by Erlenbach have been setting standards for decades. The EMMotion, EMTrust, and EMBase product families excel in their low production cost and capital expenditure at the highest product quality. Especially in regards to grocery packing materials such as ice cream cups and fish boxes for which cleanliness is of the utmost importance, the use of electronic shape moulding machines of the EMMotion product family is recommended.

5 EMTrust EMCycle Verpackung Technical applications An growing sector for particle foams especially those made of EPP is the field of technical applications in which the shape moulding part is a piece of the end product. For example, hot water boilers are insulated with EPS and EPP applications replace the traditional casing for heat exchangers, vacuum cleaners, and refrigerators. This unifies the technical functions (protection, heat and noise insulation) and design (casing, color, surface). The implementation of joining techniques (thread, plug connections, and more), the new color diversity and the growing number of new surfaces for EPP moulded parts expand and add flexibility to application options. For the manufacturing of EPP products the EMMotion product family with its world-wide unique electro-drive surpasses all hydraulic shape moulding machines in respect to speed, availability, energy consumption, and production volume. EPS is specially suited as basis for moulding complex components in the Lost Foam process. This process which allows for casting of aluminum, cast iron, and steel casting, excels particularly in its design versatility and surface quality.

6 EMFill Erlenbach GmbH Am Rödchen Lautert Phone: Fax: info@erlenbach.de Verpackung Leisure The excellent characteristics of shape moulding parts made of particle foams such as light-weightiness, flexibility, impact absorption, insulation, and freedom of design are discovered more and more by the leisure industry. Bicycle and ski helmets made of EPS and EPP have become part of today s protective gear for safety-conscious sports enthusiasts. No matter if large or small volumes, simple or complex parts: for all of these often still very new applications, there is the right production equipment of Erlenbach. Furniture made of EPP is growing in significance in the design world as a result of their flexible forms and color schemes. In the sport and leisure sector the base bodies of remote-controlled airplanes are made of EPS and the latest generation of artificial turf is based on EPP.
