06. Pump Metering Group
Accurate component metering by a high-precision volumetric gear pump with Viton double rotary
shaft seal. Maximum working pressure 15bar. Output adjusted by a variable speed inverter, monitoring and controlling the pump. Chemical component ratio variation 1:4 to 4:1 via the inverter.
07. Temperature Conditioning
Steel tube nest heat exchangers are standard on the Rim-Mix range, with an optional chilling unit available to maintain chemical component temperatures, ensuring optimal viscosity and consistent product quality.
08. Dispensing Head
The core of the system
A mix head of simple robust design provides the operator with a rapid switch from recycle to pour. The ability to adjust pressure directly at the mix head ensures quality mixing without surge. The D Series of multi-component mix heads are available with mechanical mixers of a variety of designs and is specified depending on process material.

09. Operator Interface Panel
The operator interface panel includes manual air blast, emergency stop and programme selector enabling step-by-step programming at independent outputs and ratios of polyol to isocyanate.
11-Programme Quick Switch
Quickly switch between up to 11 preset programmes for variable pours without pausing production. Ideal for fast product changes while maintaining continuous operation.
99-Programme
Store and recall up to 99 programmes for an extensive range of products requiring different dispense volumes, timings, or outputs. Perfect for facilities with diverse production requirements.
99-Programme Touchscreen
Access up to 99 programmes through a touchscreen interface designed for installations where the operator is positioned away from the main machine. Provides intuitive, detailed control directly at the dispensing head for greater flexibility and ease of use.
10. Digital Reading
Pressure Gauges
Digital pressure gauge for visual display of working pressure, complete with 2-point contact (high pressure – minimum pressure) for added safety, fitted to both isocyanate and polyol metering lines to prevent over-pressure situations.
Level Sensors
Liquid level sensor for continuous monitoring of tank contents, providing an accurate visual indication of material levels. Fitted to the system to ensure a consistent supply to the metering lines and prevent low-level or overfill conditions.
Temperature Sensors
Liquid temperature sensor for continuous monitoring of process temperature, providing reliable measurement to maintain optimal material conditions. Fitted to ensure stable operation and prevent temperature-related process deviations.
11. Electrical Control System
Siemens S7 series PLC
Siemens S7 series PLC with colour HMI touchscreen for clear visual display of all machine and process parameters. The screen provides real-time monitoring of program details, motor speeds, chemical levels, and temperatures, along with ratio control, shot time, and system status. Designed to give operators full visibility and precise control of the process, ensuring consistent performance and safe operation.
12. Cleaning
Solvent Circuit
Cleaning is an essential part of machine function once the reaction has occurred. A pressurised stainless steel 18 litre tank ensures solvent delivery by a dedicated steel braid hose fitted with a sliding exhaust valve, a manual decompression valve and a minimum level alarm.
Hot Water Wash
If required, a hot water wash system can be offered as a more environmentally friendly alternative to chemical cleaning agents such as methylene chloride and similar solvents. This provides an effective cleaning solution while reducing reliance on harsh chemicals and maintaining reliable system performance.
13. Auto Chemical Loading
Automatic Chemical Loading
Automatic chemical loading from drums or IBCs to the machine tank using a double-diaphragm pump. The system maintains the preset tank level at all times, ensuring uninterrupted operation and preventing the risk of running out of material.
Solvent Dispensing
Delivers cleaning solvent directly from drums or barrels to the point of use. Eliminates manual tank filling, ensures consistent flow, and simplifies chemical handling for safer, uninterrupted operation.
