ANOTHER WAY TO DO R-RIM
Generally, when polyurethane systems containing mineral fillers are mentioned, thoughts immediately turn to a metering unit fitted with dosing cylinders.
These cylinders based machines enable materials with high viscosities and levels of abrasive filler to be used but, by the very nature of there construction, also require substantial investment to acquire.
The technical solution adopted by OMS Group, based on a good performance/cost ratio provides for a high pressure metering unit fitted with a volumetric gear pump specially adopted to meter liquid containing high levels of mineral fillers.
Based on our Ecoline Series of low cost, high performance metering units, the Ecoline R-RIM unit represent a clear opportunity for PU moulders wishing to produce R-RIM parts to find a cost effective means to enter the market.
A case in point is on customer S.P.E. System of …….., Italy.
The Ecoline R-RIM machine, fitted with a specially treated version of Ecomix Y2K-12/18 mixing head is used to produce sound absorption parts for the industrial transport sector. The machine is also equipped for the direct injection of colour into the mixing chamber.
In order to reach the acoustic performance necessary, the polyurethane system utilized contains Barium Sulphate with an addition ratio of more than 50%.
So, if you have a project requiring the use of heavily filled material there is now a clear alternative. The Ecoline R-RIM series is an obvious choice for anther way to do R-RIM.
