Integration of a FIPFG Polyurethane Gasketing Cell for Cold Door Manufacturing
Bead consistency: constant width at ±0.3 mm throughout the trajectory Near-total elimination of customer returns related to sealing defects (−94%) Production rate improved by 60% compared to manual gasketing Reduction in foam waste by 27% thanks to precise volumetric dosing Integration completed in 3 days, including operator training
A manufacturer of cold rooms and insulated doors was experiencing inconsistencies with their manually applied seals, leading to thermal losses and customer returns. The company sought an automated FIPFG (Formed-In-Place Foam Gasket) solution capable of applying a two-component polyurethane foam bead with millimeter precision on variable-sized frames. Flux EQ Pro sourced and deployed a CNC gantry machine equipped with a dynamic mixing head, featuring a customizable trajectory program via a touch interface. The system handles formats from 600 × 400 mm up to 2400 × 1200 mm without tool changes.
