Haifeng successfully commissioned a heavy-duty rigid polyurethane imitation wood molding production line for a premier luxury furniture manufacturer in Saudi Arabia, achieving authentic oak-matching structural density (450 kg/m³) while eliminating climate-induced wood cracking. The turnkey installation included a high-output dual-component high-pressure metering unit, dynamic mold oil temperature conditioning skids, and large-platen hydraulic mold clamping fixtures tailored for multi-piece silicone tools.
Prior to commissioning, the manufacturer hand-carved imported beech and mahogany logs to produce ornate royal headboards. Under Saudi Arabia's extreme desert heat (exceeding 45°C) and indoor air conditioning, natural hardwood components warped, split along natural grain lines, and failed customer palace handovers. The client required an advanced chemical molding solution capable of filling deep 80mm Baroque relief undercuts, replicating authentic wood grain textures, and delivering zero-shrinkage structural parts ready for gold leaf and lacquer finishing.
Operating since May 2017 on a two-shift daily schedule across a 350 m² workshop, the workcell delivers consistent component repeatability. By implementing Haifeng's closed-loop Ratio Lock flow algorithms and dynamic mold thermal balancing, the client reliably manufactures ornate, split-proof palace furniture frames compliant with the highest international luxury standards.
Project Technical Specification Matrix:

Solutions Delivery
Haifeng deployed a high-capacity rigid polyurethane reaction workcell engineered for large-shot, intricate furniture castings:
1. High-Output Stoichiometric Metering: Heavy-duty axial displacement pumps meter structural rigid PU precursors at up to 60 kg/min with ±0.5% precision, filling multi-kilogram headboard cavities in 3 seconds.
2. Heavy-Platen Hydraulic Clamping: A 2.5m × 1.5m hydraulic clamping press holds heavy composite mother-molds firmly against internal expanding foaming pressures (up to 0.4 MPa).
3. Dynamic Oil Thermal Management: An oil-circulation TCU maintains mold platens at 55°C (±1.0°C), preventing surface skin chilling and ensuring crisp replication of deep floral reliefs.
4. Clean Mechanical Needle Shut-Off: An L-shaped self-cleaning high-pressure mixing head executes instantaneous 0.3s mechanical clean cut-offs without chemical solvents, preserving silicone mold lifespan.
Installation and commissioning: 18 days. Operator training: 4 days. Warranty: 1 year. Long-term spare parts and remote PLC diagnostic support are available.
