GW-180/8-S2-Z Automatic Vacuum Foaming EVA Molding Machine
Automatic vacuum foaming EVA molding machine with 8 work stations and 2 layers. The machine uses a vacuum cover during the foaming process to remove air from the mold cavity, producing EVA soles with a more uniform density and a better surface finish. The clamping force is 180T, and the plate dimension is 300 × 600 mm.
Why Choose the GW-180/8-S2-Z Vacuum Foaming EVA Machine
Vacuum Foaming Process
The machine uses a vacuum cover to remove air from the mold cavity before and during foaming. This reduces air pockets in the EVA part, which gives a more uniform cell structure and a better surface finish than conventional foaming.
8 Stations, 2 Layers
Eight work stations with 2 layers each give 16 mold positions on one frame. This layout supports higher output per machine, while the 180T clamping force holds the mold closed during the vacuum and foaming cycle.
300 × 600 mm Plate Dimension
The plate dimension is 300 × 600 mm, with a mold opening stroke of 430 mm and a mold thickness range of 100–300 mm. This gives room for standard EVA sole molds and allows the vacuum cover to seal against the mold during the cycle.
About This Automatic Vacuum Foaming EVA Molding Machine
The GW-180/8-S2-Z is an automatic vacuum foaming EVA molding machine. It is used to produce EVA soles and EVA foaming parts with a vacuum-assisted foaming process. The vacuum cover removes air from the mold cavity, which helps the EVA material fill the mold evenly and foam without trapped air.
The machine has 8 work stations with 2 layers each, giving 16 mold positions on one frame. This layout supports higher output per machine than a single-layer or single-station machine. The clamping force is 180T, and the plate dimension is 300 × 600 mm, with a mold opening stroke of 430 mm and a mold thickness range of 100–300 mm.
The vacuum foaming process is the key feature of this machine. By removing air from the mold cavity, the vacuum cover reduces air pockets in the EVA part, which gives a more uniform cell structure and a better surface finish than conventional foaming. This is important for EVA soles that need a consistent density and a clean surface.
The machine uses 21.5 kW of motor power, with a total electric consumption of 163.4 kW and an oil consumption of 850 L. The machine dimension is 10.4 × 4.5 × 3.9 m, and the weight is 30 tonnes.
This machine is a vacuum foaming EVA molding device. It is different from the EVA foam injection molding machines in our range, such as the GWEX-B6S and GW-2006 series, which use conventional foaming without a vacuum cover. The GW-180/8-S2-Z adds the vacuum stage to the foaming cycle, which improves the density and surface finish of the EVA part. It is also different from the preform EVA injection machine (GW-120/16-S2-Z), which injects solid EVA preforms without foaming.
If your process requires vacuum-assisted foaming for EVA soles with uniform density and a clean surface, the GW-180/8-S2-Z is the appropriate machine. If your process requires conventional foaming, please refer to the EVA foaming machines. If your process requires solid EVA preforms, please refer to the preform EVA injection machine.

Applications
Vacuum Foaming EVA Soles
Production of EVA soles with a vacuum-assisted foaming process. The vacuum cover reduces air pockets, giving a more uniform density and a better surface finish.
High-Quality EVA Parts
Production of EVA foaming parts that need a consistent cell structure and a clean surface, such as midsole and shoe components.
Multi-Station Production
The 8 stations with 2 layers give 16 mold positions on one frame, which supports higher output than a single-layer machine.
Large Mold Capacity
The 300 × 600 mm plate and 100–300 mm mold thickness range give room for standard EVA sole molds and allow the vacuum cover to seal against the mold.
