A custom foam production plant for Mentvil
The Customer
For well over 20 years, Mentvil SA, based just outside Buenos Aires in Argentina have been producing a wide variety of high-density, speciality foams for all applications for the South American Market.
The challenge
Mentvil had two key ambitions for the new project: the first was to have a dedicated machine capable of producing both polyether and polyester foams; the second was a machine with the flexibility and modularity to grow and meet the ever-increasing demand of speciality foam type production, including High Resilient and viscoelastic.
A major challenge was designing a machine capable of producing both polyester and polyether foam, due to the raw materials not being cross compatible.
The solution
We designed and developed a unique handling and processing solution, using all of our extensive experience in this area: a two-manifold system combined with a bespoke Maxfoam Elite machine.
The Maxfoam Elite delivers highly flexible production and can be designed to include both Maxfoam Trough and Liquid Laydown foam production for higher density and higher quality foams.
The success
The new Maxfoam Elite helped Mentvil consolidate their position as one the market leader South America in foam production and in turn has helped them expand and develop their foam production range.
