In the manufacturing method and manufacturing arrangement according to the invention for a silicone composition the mixer mixing the different subcomponents of the silicone composition are removed for the duration of downtime and cooled to a temperature, in which the chemical reaction between the different subcomponents of the silicone composition stops. In the manufacturing method of the invention the mixer is reconnected to the manufacturing apparatus arrangement after downtime without cleaning it from the silicone composition subcomponents remaining in the mixer.

A cleaning piston for a mixing head of a reaction moulding machine includes a main part which has a cylindrical casing region, and a clearing part. The material and geometry of the clearing part are designed to remove residual material adhering to a channel of the mixing head. The clearing part is at least partly made of non-polar material.

A device for mixing at least two fluid to pasty substances has a housing (2) with at least two openings (5, 6) for feeding the substances and with a discharge opening (8), a mixing element (3) which can rotate in the housing (2), which mixing element (3) can be displaced in the direction (17) of its axis (7) in relation to the housing (2) in order to adjust the size of a gap (18) between a conically tapering part (14) of the mixing element (3) and a likewise tapering region (15) of the housing (2) in order to adjust the shear rate in the region of the gap (18). The mixing element (3) has a region (9) in which annular ribs (11) are provided which project from the mixing element (3) and which engage between adjacent annular ribs (12) which project from the inner surface (10) of the housing (2).

A latex processing system and method involves mixing a latex and at least one solvent blend in an extruder, in order to remove resin found in the latex and to coagulate the latex to form a coagulum. The at least one solvent blend has a first solvent configured to coagulate the latex, and a second solvent configured to swell the resulting coagulum. In particular, a series of the solvent blends may be used at different locations along a length of the extruder, and may further include distinct blends of the first solvent and the second solvent, introduced at the different locations, and having different ratios of the first solvent and the second solvent.

A method and high-pressure mixing device for co-injection of polymeric reactive components, in particular for polyurethane and epoxy mixtures. The polymeric components are supplied in a common pressure chamber where they flow at a same pressure and in an unmixed state into a forwardly converging fore portion of the pressure chamber, and through a settable co-injection orifice to be co-injected, in the unmixed state, into a mixing chamber transversely oriented to the pressure chamber. The settable co-injection orifice consists in an elongated restriction that longitudinally extends on a side wall of the mixing chamber orthogonally oriented to an intersecting the forwardly converging fore portion of the pressure chamber; a first cleaning member and a second cleaning member are sequentially reciprocable in the pressure chamber to eject the remaining unmixed polymeric components, respectively in the mixing chamber to eject the remaining mixture, and stop elements are provided to set an open section of the elongated restriction, by adjustably stopping the fore end of the cleaning member for the mixing chamber, in respect to the same elongated restriction of the co-injection orifice.

Device for cleaning an extruder intended to operate with elastomeric mixtures comprising a frame (11) supporting a screw (2) and a barrel (1), the screw (2) being made to rotate about the longitudinal axis (X-X) of the barrel (2) when it is rotationally driven by drive means, the barrel comprising an elastomeric-mixture feed inlet (3) and an outlet (4) opening directly into an extrusion die (21) mounted on a support (20).

According to the invention, the frame (11) is mounted with the ability to move translationally with respect to the die (21) support (20) in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis X-X between a first position in which the barrel (1) and the die (21) are in sealed contact to allow the elastomeric mixture to pass through the die (21) and a second position in which the barrel (1) is moved away from the die (21) in order to perform cleaning, the parting line between the barrel (1) and the die being substantially axisymmetric with respect to the axis X-X and in that the said device comprises an automatic coupling mechanism (40) for quickly locking and unlocking the barrel (1) and the die (21) and allowing the frame (11) to move between the two positions.

A spray gun for a plural component system is provided. The spray gun includes a first component delivery line and a second component delivery line. The spray gun also includes a nozzle, configured to receive and mix a first component received from the first component delivery line with a second component received from the second component delivery line. The spray gun also includes an air purge system configured to, when the spray gun is in a non-actuated position, purge the nozzle of the first and second components and, when the spray gun is in an actuated position, aid in atomization of the mixture of the first and second components.
