NexCell is the only physical foaming injection machine for soft foamed elastomers currently that can has mass production in the industry. The machine configuration is designed originally for flexible foamed elastomers with a long molding time. The machine is equipped with the self-developed NexCell blending system which is a leading system in the global industry. An injection molding machine with such a unique function can be said to be a follow-up target for other industries. With flexible production system, the machine can meet the needs for academic R&D and testing, mass production in the industry, or even materials developed by material suppliers. Due to the emergence of stable mass production scale and the adoption of brand OEMs, the industry’s original wait-and-see attitude has turned to positive. The doubt about the feasibility of physical foaming injection disappeared. Thus, the clients boldly invested it in material research and development. Nowadays, the clients mostly use EVA to manufacture shoe midsoles. However, the raw materials are not firm for users, and they can only rely on other materials or chemical foaming agents to meet their needs. The greenhouse gases produced in this process are a major environmental killer. As a member of the global village, the design team strives for the goal of creating a friendly environment. Thus, the physical foaming injection is viewed as the recognized solution.
