Cannon Viking introduces new distribution device for PU slabstock foam

Cannon Viking introduces the new LayDown Master, a distribution device for PU slabstock foam.

Cannon Viking introduces a new distribution device for PU slabstock foam.

Inspired by the CarDio gatebar, the distribution device aims at slabstock production with conventional Liquid Laydown or Maxfoam Trough machines. It is available as a kit to allow short installation time on existing production lines.

“The technology avoids the use of a traversing mixing head, whilst providing uniform foam laydown across the whole width of the conveyor, delivering a more regular cell structure across the block,” explained Richard Doublet-Stewart, Regional Sales Manager.

The LayDown Master is especially suitable for highly reactive foam grades, such as MDI, Viscos and HR foams. It also allows for a quick change of grade and color, shortening the transition phase between foam grades, reducing the amount of scrap foam and thus saving valuable raw materials.

The new device also features a slot that is wide enough to allow for the use of very viscous formulations and solid fillers, which are key to ensure consistent quality for the foam standards. The slot can be easily adjusted between different foam grades by inserting spacers, reducing downtime to the absolute minimum.

Cannon Viking offers several technologies under the CarDio brand that aim at foam producers with continuous and discontinuous block foaming methods.
