A method for obtaining and applying a sealing gasket element on a slide-valve sliding in a cavity of an apparatus for the recirculation and mixing of chemically reactive polymeric components, comprises the steps of: obtaining from an elastic-plastic material a precursor element of the seal element, with a grid structure having a reticular shape; positioning the precursor element around the slide-valve; exerting on the precursor element, through temporary clamping elements, a radial compression and contraction action to insert it and couple it to one or more housing seats provided on the slide-valve so as to obtain the seal element well coupled to the latter; progressively removing the clamping elements to sequentially release successive parts of the gasket element and gradually free the slide-valve to gradually introduce the parts of the slide-valve—freed in succession—in the housing cavity allowing the sealing gasket element to gradually expand radially due to the elastic return by adhering tightly to the inner surface of the same housing cavity. The special equipment for fitting the sealing gasket element on the slide-valve and the so obtained recirculation and mixing apparatus is also described.

A mixing device and method for generating reaction plastic, the mixing device including: a mixing chamber configured to mix reactive components to generate the reaction plastic; a discharge unit, including a discharge pipe connected to the mixing chamber configured to discharge the reaction plastic generated in the mixing chamber; a cleaning piston that is axially aligned with the discharge pipe of the discharge unit and is moveable into the discharge pipe to clean reaction plastic from the discharge pipe; a fluid supply device configured to provide a lubricant into the discharge unit via an outlet to lubricate the discharge unit, a control piston arranged within the mixing chamber and configured to control flow of the reactive components; wherein an axial direction of the control piston is oblique to an axial direction of a discharge pipe of the discharge unit.

A system for generating and dispensing plural component materials includes a controller operatively connected to dispense valves and return valves. The return valves are in respective open states to allow constituent materials to circulate back to a source and are in respective closed states to block circulation. The dispense valves are in respective open states to allow mixing of the constituent materials to form the plural component material and in respective closed states to prevent generation and dispense. The controller implements a delay between closing the return valves and opening the dispense valves to build pressure in the system prior to generating and dispensing the plural component material.

A high-pressure mixing apparatus for polymeric components suitable for providing a reactive mixture for a polymerizable resin, provided with a self-regenerating seal. An annular sealing element is housed in a circular seat inside a cross hole of a bush transversely extending to and in communication with the mixing chamber, in a sealing zone downstream the injection holes for the polymeric components, between the mixing chamber and the same delivery bush; worn and/or torn parts of the annular sealing element are automatically regenerated by the reactive mixture delivered during operation of the mixing apparatus.

A nozzle unit for a reaction molding machine, comprising an inlet channel prepared for connection to a mixing head outlet and comprising a first dispensing nozzle, which is prepared for applying a reactive mixture and which is connected to the inlet channel in a first operating state, a second dispensing nozzle being present, which is connected to the inlet channel in a second operating state and which is likewise prepared for applying a reactive mixture. Further disclosed is a mixing head device for a reaction molding machine having the nozzle unit, to a reaction molding machine having the mixing head device, and to a method for producing a plastic part.

Device for mixing at least two chemically reactive plastics components under pressure, having a mixing chamber, into which the plastics components are injected in each case by way of a component-feeding opening, wherein a reversible control piston is provided for opening and closing the component-feeding openings and for discharging plastics mixture remaining within the mixing chamber, wherein the control piston is connected to an electric drive. Alternatively, in the case of a transfer mixing head, the cleaning piston may be coupled to an electric drive. A method for operating such a mixing head is also disclosed.

A high-pressure mixing device adapted to form a polymeric mixture from the reaction of two or more reactive liquid components or resins, comprises a head-body with a mixing chamber having an inner cylindrical surface with inlet and outlet openings for injecting and recirculating reactive components; a duct for delivering the mixture, a valve body with recirculation longitudinal slots; the delivery duct, of the self-cleaning type, is a single-piece tubular element, insertable into a hole passing through the head-body, having an intermediate transversal hole aligned with the mixing chamber with a diameter greater than a diameter of the mixing chamber for avoiding protrusions of the walls of the transversal hole from forming inwardly of the mixing chamber of the head-body. Sealing elements duly arranged between the coupling interfaces of the various components prevent the leakage of polymeric mixture and lubricant liquid. There is also disclosed a related method.
