KraussMaffei showcases solutions in reaction process machinery at NPE

KraussMaffei will showcase its solutions in reaction process machinery, including precisionMixhead and ColorForm mixing head, at the NPE on May 6-10 at Orlando, the US.

precisionMixhead: Compact but powerful solution

Specially developed for energy efficient production of polyurethane (PUR), the precisionMixhead is small but powerful.

The innovative precisionMixhead also features maximum precision in mixing quality, with a production window that is up to 30% larger.

With compact design and a weight reduction of up to 20%, the mixing head allows simplified handling in production and service area. The reduced mass of the mixing head not only saves energy because the handling robot has to move less mass, but also makes manual operation and maintenance work easier.

ColorForm: Efficient and easy color changes

ColorForm is used in multi-component injection molding process. In this process, hermoplastic base carrier is flooded with high-quality polyurethane (PUR) or polyurea (PUA) as a surface material in the second cycle after the injection molding process, resulting a surface of exceptional quality and scratch resistance.

The surface material (PUR/PUA) is applied using the RimStar Flex ColorForm reaction machine specially developed for this process in combination with the mixing head, which feeds the materials directly into the cavity.

The mixing head exceptionally features innovative color nozzle, which enables a drag-free color change.

Also with its compact design, the mixing head can be easily integrated into the mold and installed in easily accessible positions in the clamping area of the injection molding machine. The central media supply ensures constant temperature control and outstanding mixing quality.

Therefore, ColorForm mixing head offers efficient production specifically in the automotive industry for both interior and exterior applications.

At the NPE, apart from showcasing its innovative solutions, KraussMaffei will also providing fascinating insights into how its various mixing head models and metering pumps work.
