Reliable mixing and dosing
Experience and precision in every machine component
A mixing head for processing two or three components has three essential functions. Firstly, the precise dosing of two components into the mixing chamber at the specified mixing ratio through the built-in valve technology. Secondly, the components are homogeneously mixed within the mixing chamber by the servo-controlled agitator. Then the material is applied precisely onto the part through the dosing nozzle.
For material systems with simple mixing ratios and generous processing tolerances, static mixing is often enough. Here, the two material components only need to be pressed through a mixing tube in the correct quantity ratio. The material flow is then swirled by the inside structures of the mixing tube to such an extent that sufficient mixing occurs.
Dynamic mixing makes the difference
The greatest possible level of material homogeneity after mixing 2-component material systems with different viscosities – even in the case of demanding, asymmetrical mixing ratios – can only be achieved with dynamic mixing. Static mixers are capable of swirling material components of similar viscosity during continuous dosing. These can be used for material systems that allow generous deviations in the mixing ratio and react comparatively slowly, thereby preventing material that has already stuck together in the mixing tube from collecting and forming a blockage.
The dynamic mixing head is totally different. For example, it enables dosing from 0.2 to 100 g/s with continuously adjustable mixing ratios from 100 : 1 to 1 : 100 and a dosing accuracy of ±1%. In the case of fast-reacting material, the mixing chamber can also be rinsed regularly – in the case of the MK 800 series with the patented high-pressure water rinsing process!
