A new EPS production plant must be designed to take advantage of the latest technology and industrial experience.

VIRO’s extensive investment in research and development maintains the Group as a leading supplier to the EPS industry. This, coupled with experience from hundreds of references, enables the best offering in design, engineering, and total turn-key project management.

All our plants are covered by a risk assessment and are CE marked, the blockmoulds are executed according to pressure vessel certification and rated according to the P.E.D. European Directive 2014/68/EU.

Minimum Capacity and Investment for EPS Plants

EPS is a mass-market product, meaning production is only profitable when using high-automation machinery with low energy costs.

For EPS block and sheet production, we recommend a minimum capacity of 50 m³/h to ensure economic viability. For smaller quantities, the most cost-effective strategy is to source blocks locally and process them using a foam cutter.

EPS insulation sheet production using our shape moulding machines provides an entry point at slightly lower volumes starting with 30-40 m³/h.
