Silcomix

Products made of liquid silicone rubber (LSR) are versatile in use due to their specific material properties. They are naturally translucent and pigment can easily be added as required. These products can be used in many different application areas and industries, such as
• Automotive and automotive suppliers
• Electrical and electronic
• White goods
• Aerospace
• Medical
• Sanitary engineering
Two different types of silcomix Metering and Mixing systems are available:
Piston pump metering and mixing systems
• silcomix P20
• silcomix L200
• silcomix H200
This type of system is used to process all common liquid silicone rubbers with a fi xed mixing ratio of 100:100.
Piston pumps are used to accurately meter and supply the material directly from their original containers. The components are kept separate until they enter the mixing block; which is where an optional pigment injection metering process would take place, if required. The proximity of the static steel mixer to the injection moulding machine ensures homogeneous mixing of the components.
The metering and mixing system is operated and controlled by means of a PLC in combination with a touch screen. The control unit is fitted with an interface to the injection moulding system.
Electronic metering and mixing systems
• silcomix V200
This type of system is used to process all common liquid silicone rubbers with a mixing ratio of 100:100 to 100:10. The mixing ratio is
permanently monitored and controlled by use of volume counters.
Piston pumps are used to supply the two components directly from their original containers.The components are kept separate until they enter the mixing block; which is where an optional pigment injection metering process would take place, if required.
Electronic volume counters, located before the mixing block, accurately meter the two components at the selected mixing ratio into a pre-mixing chamber.
Firstly, the two components are coarsely mixed in this pre-mixing chamber along with any pigments, if required.
The proximity of the static steel mixer to the injection moulding machine subsequently ensures homogeneous mixing of the components.
The metering and mixing system is operated and controlled by means of a metering computer with an interface to the injection moulding machine
