A plural component dispensing system includes a dispensing device, first and second fluid component sources, a system controller, and an operator interface device. The first fluid component source is connected to the dispensing device to deliver the first fluid component to the dispensing device. The second fluid component source is connected to the dispensing device to deliver the second fluid component to the dispensing device. The system controller is connected to regulate operation of the first fluid component source and the second fluid component source to produce a target ratio of the first fluid component and the second fluid component at the dispensing device. The operator interface device is remote from and operatively connected to the system controller. The operator interface device is configured to output system state information received from the system controller and to receive operator input to control an operational state of the system controller.

A foam dispenser having a metal housing has a spool valve socket therein. A metal handle extends from the housing. A spool valve is disposable within the spool valve socket. A trigger couplable to the spool valve enables the spool valve to be rotated between open and closed orientations within the housing. The spool valve has internal channels for selectively passing liquids through the spool valve in the open orientation and not in the closed orientation. The spool valve also has a channel for selectively passing a gas through the spool valve in both the open and closed orientations.

A dynamic mixer dispense valve and metering apparatus suitable for use in mixing and applying high viscosity, disparate viscosity, high ratio and/or relatively immiscible two part compounds that exhibit short cure times includes a housing supporting a pair of valve assemblies each coupled to respective sources of base and accelerator components. A pair of pneumatic valve actuator s control the operation of the valve assemblies to control the flow of components into a mixing chamber. Within the mixing chamber a mixer impeller is rotatably supported and coupled to a source of rotational power. An additional pneumatic valve actuator combination operates a further flow control to prevent undesired material loss following a shot cycle.

The invention pertains generally to a low-pressure (100-250 psi) process of seaming adjacent seams of artificial turf using a one-component or a two-component polyurethane adhesive using an apparatus which employs a payoff spool of base material in the front of the apparatus and an activation trigger adjacent the handle to begin the application of polyurethane spray foam adhesive by connectivity between the application trigger and the foam spray gun trigger.

A system (1) for distributing resin (3), the system (1) including at least one supply of resin (3a,3b), at least one conduit (5a,5b) operatively connectable to a corresponding supply of resin (3a,3b), and at least one pump (7a,7b) operatively connectable to each conduit (5a,5b) for pumping resin (3) from the corresponding supply of resin (3a,3b). The system (1) also includes a driving assembly (9) operatively connectable to each pump (7a,7b) for driving the same, the driving assembly (9) including a transmission assembly (11) being configured specifically depending on the nature of resin (3) to be pumped through each conduit (5a,5b). The system (1) also includes a discharging assembly (13) operatively connectable to each conduit (5a,5b) for discharging resin (3) out from the discharging assembly (13), the discharging assembly (13) being also operatively connectable to the driving assembly (9) for selectively and adjustably controlling operating parameters of each pump (7a,7b). Also described is a resin reservoir bag to be used for with the resin distributing system (1).

A three-dimensional (3D) printing system and method for printing with the 3D system. The 3D system includes a pneumatic dispense gun for mixing a thermoset resin and catalyst and dispensing a catalyzed resin to a rotary dispense valve for application of the catalyzed resin to a substrate on a movable table. The dispense gun contains a catalyst injection unit and a mixer for mixing the catalyst with the thermoset resin. The mixer is downstream of the catalyst injection unit and the catalyst injection unit includes a catalyst injector and a distribution ring surrounding the catalyst injector. One or more first pumps are provided for pumping the thermoset resin from a storage container to the pneumatic dispense gun. A second pump is provided for pumping the catalyst from a storage container to the dispense gun.

Disclosed is direct ink write (DIW) print extrusion head for 3D printing of viscous elastomers. The disclosed print extrusion head comprises a mixer assembly, comprising a fluid distribution cap coupled to a carrier, an in-line mixer coupled to the fluid distribution cap. A cooling jacket surrounds the in-line mixer. A nozzle is coupled to the in-line mixer and protrudes below the cooling jacket over a work surface. The position of the nozzle relative to the work surface is changeable. At least one heat source is on the chassis and disposed adjacent to the fluid distribution cap. The at least one heat source comprises a heat guiding element to direct heat to a region onto the work surface below the nozzle.

A device and process for applying a quick dry rapid set aqueous solution. An indicator of a selected color and composition is added to an accelerator to be applied along with a resin. The tinted color indicator is typically blue and allows the user to determine if the proper mixture is being applied. The indicator is visible only during application and disappears after application. The resin and accelerator are applied using an airless spray mechanism with delivery systems and spray gun. The spray gun has 2 nozzles and the capability to set the angle between the nozzles.
