Working Principle
The machine introduces air into a foaming agent solution and, through heating and pressurization, forms a foamed material filled with bubbles. Different models vary in their gas introduction methods, resulting in varying effects.
Two essential factors are required for foam formation:
1. Foaming agent solution – Without it, the liquid film surrounding the gas cannot form, and no bubbles will be produced.
2. Air– Without gas, foam cannot form even with a foaming agent solution.
In the bubble formation system:
- The foaming agent solution acts as the dispersion medium.
- The gas serves as the dispersed phase.
Gas must be dispersed into the liquid to form bubbles, which then aggregate into foam. Aside from the performance of the foaming agent, another critical factor is the method of introducing gas into the liquid. This task is performed by the foaming machine, which employs specific techniques to achieve gas-liquid mixing.
Product Advantages
