SilcoStar 1950 HighFlow Compact
The SilcoStar 1950 HighFlow Compact is concepted for the production of small insulators. In case of small lots or test series it is also possible to produce large insulators.
The machine itself is equipped with a mere 2 vats for the A and B components. In case of an empty vat the process of filling material into the mould has to be interrupted. This means that in case of large-volume items one has to make sure that there is a sufficient amount of material in the vats.
The filling level in the vats is monitored automatically. In case of different material densities, the machine automatically adjusts the volumetric mixing ratio,assuring a uniform material evacuation from the vats, which is even compensated in case of different filling quantities. By means of a set maximum tolerance the metering tolerances set by the material supplier may be adhered to.
This type of machines works with oscillating pumps, with adjusted commutation points. The metering pumps are actuated by means of servo-hydraulic cylinders. Adjustable jumps largely eliminate the commutation points. The machine may automatically ‚memorize’ those so-called ‚jump addresses’.
2KM does not apply compensator for the material flow compensation, as those compensators might interfere with and actually ‘take over’ the actual metering. This may, especially in case of a modification of the filling speeds, lead to metering errors.
This type of machines, too, offers a pre-pressure function which guarantees a uniform pressure when filling the moulds.
Filling speeds of between 0.1 liters to 6 liters per minute may be realized.
(This value depends on the material viscosity at a maximum material pressure of 300 bar.)
2KM uses first-class process computers with touch screens. All functions are presented in graphics. This makes the handling quite easy. Various languages may be chosen, which offers a complete control of the whole process.
With the metering unit several clamping unit s may be connected by means of a BUS. The computer may control up to 6 standard clamping units.
