Dosing cell 3E PUR
The entry-level model for standard applications
The SONDERHOFF 3E PUR compact dosing cell is a low-pressure mix- ing and dosing machine, which handles liquid, moderately viscous and highly viscous 2-component polyurethane systems for exact processing, dynamic homogeneous mixing, and precise dosing. The 2K material system used is applied to the components in a fully automatic process using formed-in-place foam gasket (FIPFG) technology.
When developing the new 3E dosing cell generation for seal foaming, bonding and potting of industrial components, we have focused on the key features of a modern dosing machine and designed it for the most frequently used application characteristics.
In addition to the 3E PUR, we offer two other machine types. These are the 3E SIL for 2K silicone systems and the 3E FLEX as an expandable dosing cell for optional configurations.
All three machine types of the 3E are equipped with DM 50x technology and different precision mixing heads from the MK 825 series, which feature impressive innovative improvements. They ensure maximum process stability for the fully automatic dosing of the 2K material systems used.
An attractive entry price enables very short payback periods, and the high degree of standardization also shortens delivery times.
Optimized process evaluation and control
Thanks to the MK 825 mixing head technology used in the new SONDERHOFF 3E PUR dosing cell, the machine operator now has access to a comprehensive database. It also enables preventive maintenance of wear parts.
The automatic logging of all system, material and process data ensures the traceability of the production process at all times.
In order to ensure continuously high machine availability, various technical service concept are available. The fundamental idea here is preventive and scheduled maintenance.

Place, plug & work!
As soon as power, water and compressed air are connected and the two material components of the chosen 2K PUR system are filled into and prepared in the separate material pressure tanks, production can begin. With the 3E PUR, even small and medium quantities can be produced very economically.
The dosing machine is equipped with a manually operated lifting door. Accordingly, the machine is CE-compliant, so that no additional safety fences or light barriers are required. This boosts efficiency, saving space and costs.
With the dosing cell SONDERHOFF 3E PUR (Economic, Efficient & Ecological), you can get to work right away:

SONDERHOFF 3E PUR
Mixing and dosing machine in cellular design for processing and dosing 2K PUR systems
The MK 825 BASIC is precisely guided within the travel range of 2,500 x 1,250 x 250 mm (x/y/z) by a 3-axis linear robot integrated into the cell. The linear robot features a toothed-belt drive and excellent stiffness and acceleration values for a repeatable (±0.5 mm) guidance of the mixing head over the part to be processed.
Operating the dosing machine 3E PUR
The machine operator places one or more parts on the prepared workpiece holder within the working area of the dosing cell. He then closes the lifting door with a hand lever at the front of the machine. The fully automatic application of material to the part can start. For this purpose, the CNC-controlled MK 825 BASIC precision mixing head moves over the part contour.
To remove one or more parts after the dispensing process, the machine operator opens the lifting door using either the hand strap mounted there or the lever.

Control Cabinet
The switch cabinet is the expandable future-proof control center of the SONDERHOFF 3E PUR dosing cell with DM 50x technology. It includes the electrical distribution as well as the control and safety technology for the dosing machine and the CNC control of the 3-axis linear robot installed in the cell.
Dosing machine components
In the SONDERHOFF 3E PUR dosing cell, the dosing machine components are mounted on the side of the cell. This is where e.g. the precision gear pumps, compressed air connection and dryer, and the maintenance unit and high-pressure water unit for mixing head rinsing are located.
MP 2 multi-functional mobile panel
The SONDERHOFF 3E PUR dosing cell is designed to enable the operator to perform a wide variety of tasks easily and safely. The system is operated via the easy-to-use, multi-functional Sonderhoff MP 2 mobile panel with integrated 10.1“ touchscreen. This makes the contour programming of components significantly simpler.
Optional shuttle table
The SONDERHOFF 3E PUR dosing cell offers an attachable sliding table with manually shifting mounting plates as an alternative option for placement and processing of industrial parts for sealing, bonding, or potting. With this solution, a machine operator loads the two mounting plates with the parts in an alternating sequence.
Automatic refilling stations
The 3E PUR dosing cell can optionally be equipped with a refilling station for automatic material supply. This ensures material-specific preparation, homogeneous consistency and a continuous supply of materials to the material pressure tanks of the mixing and dosing system – without exposure to or contamination of the products to be filled.
