Output, number of components, mixing head, control system and service scope: the main factors behind a polyurethane machine price, and how to ask for the right quote.
Short answer: There is no single list price for a polyurethane machine; the price depends on the machine’s output, number of components, mixing head type, control and metering system, boom and tank equipment, and the scope of after-sales service. That is why an accurate price can only be given once your product and production targets are known.
The main price factors
- Output (g/s): Determines pump, motor and head sizes; calculated from the weight of your largest part and its fill time.
- Number of components: Standard two-component systems and systems with colour paste or a third component need different equipment.
- Mixing head: Head type and number, and whether several moulds must be fed.
- Metering control: Real-time ratio control with flowmeters, recipe memory and alarm logs.
- Boom and reach: How many moulds will be fed from the same machine.
- Tanks and heating: Tank volume, insulation, level tracking in kilograms and automatic filling.
- Installation, training and service: Commissioning, operator training and post-warranty support.
Total cost instead of purchase price
A cheaper machine can soon become expensive through high scrap, long stoppages and imported parts that take weeks to arrive. When comparing quotes, calculate the total cost of ownership: purchase + material scrap + energy + maintenance + downtime losses.
What to share for an accurate quote
- The product you will make and its approximate part weight
- Number of moulds and target daily output
- The chemical system and mixing ratio you use
- Your current machine (if it is a replacement or an extra line)
Frequently asked questions
Why isn’t the polyurethane machine price listed on the website? Each machine is configured for its application, so the price changes with the capacity, head and equipment chosen. When you fill in the quote form, a price is prepared for your needs.
Is a domestically built machine more economical than an imported one? The initial investment is usually more competitive; the real difference shows in total cost through spare parts, service speed and lower currency risk.
