Low Pressure PU Foaming Machine — Overview
A low pressure PU foaming machine meters and mixes two or three liquid polyurethane components (polyol, isocyanate and optional additives) through a mechanical mixing head and dispenses the reacting blend into a mold or cavity. Unlike high-pressure systems, a low pressure polyurethane foaming machine mixes at roughly 2–20 bar using a rotary stirrer, which makes it cost-effective, easy to maintain and well suited to flexible and semi-rigid molded foam.
Because the mixing head recirculates between shots, a low pressure foam dispensing machine handles frequent color and formula changes, making it a flexible choice for varied molded parts. Yongjia builds low pressure PU foaming machines with customizable output, two- or three-component metering, programmable shot weight and tailored mixing heads to match your part size and cycle time.
Typical applications include PU gaskets and filter end-caps, memory foam pillows, automotive and bike seats, insoles, decorative cornices, faux stone and anti-fatigue mats. For higher output rigid foam and panel lines, see our high pressure PU machine; for gasket sealing specifically, see the PU gasket dispensing machine.
Machine Structure

How It Works
A low pressure PU foaming machine meters each component, blends them mechanically in a recirculating stirred mixing head at low pressure (2–20 bar), and pours the mix into your mould or cavity.
Technical Parameters

| Components | 2 to 11 component |
| Pigment / Filler | Supported |
| Control System | DELTA / SIEMENS PLC + DELTA HMI touch screen |
| Customization | OEM/ODM, CE — mixing head, output & automation configurable |
Core Components
Low Pressure Machine Types
Choose by how many separate metered streams your formula needs — from a simple two-component build to a multi-component system with up to eleven streams.
Low Pressure vs High Pressure
Low pressure suits flexible and molded foam, integral-skin parts and frequent formula or color changes at small-to-medium output; high pressure suits high-output rigid foam and continuous panel lines. The right choice depends on your part, output, mould count and how often the formula changes.
| Low Pressure | High Pressure | |
|---|---|---|
| Mixing method | Mechanical / dynamic stirring | High-pressure impingement (self-cleaning head) |
| Solvent flush | Yes — cleaning tank | Not required |
| Output | Shot 15–2500 g, small to medium | High, 90–450 kg/min |
| Best for | Flexible / molded / integral-skin foam, frequent changes | High output, stable formula, rigid & panels |
| Components | 2 to 11 component | Two to three component |
| Investment | Lower | Higher |

How to Choose the Right Configuration
Tell us your product and target shot weight and our engineers size the machine. As a quick guide:
| Your product / requirement | Recommended configuration |
|---|---|
| Memory-foam pillow | Two-component low-pressure machine + pillow mould / carousel |
| Car or bike seat, cushion | Molded-foam build with matching mixing head and mould line |
| Shoe sole / insole | Low-pressure machine sized to shot weight + sole mould line |
| Gaskets & filter end-caps | FIPFG / dispensing configuration — see the gasket dispensing machine |
| Frequent color or formula changes | Recirculating head + cleaning tank; 3-to-5-component for additives |
| Integral-skin parts (armrest, steering) | Skin-foam build with temperature control |
| High-output rigid foam / panels | Compare our high pressure PU machine |
