HOW IT WORKS    DL-1 Process Flow Diagram This flow configuration is used for motionless mixers in manual and automated processes. The rotary pumps will start and stop after each dispense command. Each pump output is directed to a Twinmixer III pneumatically-operated mix head or to a Twin Dispense mix head with spring-loaded non-drip valves. Use the DL-1 configuration when any or all of the following apply: • Motionless mixers are used • Processing materials that do not separate • Feeding a mixed material stream to a continuous process (such as laminator, coating line or filament winder) • Shot duration is from 2 seconds to infinite • Material ratios are from 1:1 to 5:1 • Process requires only limited temperature control DL-2 Process Flow Diagram This configuration continuously recirculates from the tank through the pumps to a recirculating block and back to the tank. When mix material is demanded, the recirculation block activates and sends the metered streams through individual hoses to a remote Twinmixer® mix head. Use the DL-2 configuration when any or all of the following apply: • Motionless mixers are used • A light-weight mix head is required •Closed loop ratio control is desired • Discontinuous shot or bonding applications are used • Chemistries may separate or stratify DL-3 Process Flow Diagram This configuration is similar to the DL-2. However, the recirculation block and mix head are one unit, allowing materials to continuously move through the entire system. The mix head can be either motionless or dynamic. Use the DL-3 configuration when any or all of the following apply: • Viscosities are less than 20,000 cps • Heating is desired • Dynamic mixing is required • Chemistries may separate or stratify • Dispensing application using automation or fixed mix head Progressive Cavity Technology Progressive Cavity pumps, are in the family of screw pumps. They are most effective when used to meter or transfer medium to high viscosity liquids filled with abrasive compounds such as glass beads, glass balloons and metallic or organic fillers, i.e. quartz, aluminum oxide and titanium oxide. Fluid flow starts from the entrance, at the top on the right, to the left as the rotor revolves inside the stator. The stator is a twisted cavity with an oval-shaped cross-section. It is usually made of natural or synthetic rubber, steel, or plastic. The rotor is usually steel. As the rotor turns a series of cavities are continuously formed that progress down the length of stator until discharged. A slight fluid pulse can be detected at low rpms. The progressive cavity pumps can be used for one or both components.     Applications |  Products |  About Us |  Contact Us |  Request Information
