The production of both insulating glass and curtain walls incorporates bonding and sealing steps that use multi-component adhesives. The success of these bonding and sealing steps depends on proper mixing and accurate, on-ratio dispensing of the adhesive components.
This company’s batch high-shear mixer is a tool for general-purpose mixing, powder wet-out, deagglomeration, dispersion, emulsification and homogenization.
Whenever and wherever high-viscosity adhesives and sealants need to be mixed, the choices have been clear cut: either the classic vertical double planetary mixer or the proven double-arm sigma blade mixer have been the mixers of choice when the product viscosity rises past the hundreds of thousands of centipoise, and well into the millions of centipoise.
Meter/mix systems vary immensely from application to application. Adhesive or sealant resin formulations can vary as well—by chemistry, viscosity, filler content, handling time, and moisture sensitivity, as well as other critical performance factors engineered by the material supplier.
With the continuous improvement of current metering and dispensing technology, two-component equipment proportioning and mixing precision can reach ±1%.
