Precision with Low Pressure Impingement Mixing Heads
At the core of every foam processing unit, the mixing head assembly takes center stage. Engineered with precision, this crucial component ensures thorough mixing within the chamber, dispensing a precisely calibrated mixture through the nozzle outlet orifice. Kirkco manufactures four low-pressure mixing head sizes covering an output range from 1/4 to 400 lbs./min.
Standard Low Pressure Mixing Head Assembly
Crafted for Excellence
Our standard head assembly boasts robust construction, with major parts made from chrome-plated steel, Teflon-coated aluminum or stainless steel mixers, and Teflon or Viton seals. Key features include a mixing head body, bearing housing with high-speed bearings, a 4-way material valve, diaphragm-type flush valve, hardened mixer shaft, air-actuated valve operator, and an AC electric motor-driven mixer with variable speed.
Tailoring to Your Needs: Low Pressure Mixing Head Upgrades
Upgrade options abound for our mixing head assembly, including:
- Automatic Water Flush Module: Variable speed drive for mixer operation, enabling a speed range of 0 – 10,000 rpm, with automatic speed adjustment during cold water injection.
- Water Cooled Addition: Ideal for non-stop operation, providing head cooling through a dual-wall bearing housing and mixer nozzle with cold water.
- Automatic Color Selector: Effortless color changes for multi-component systems, enhancing operational flexibility.
- Hydraulic Mixer Drive: Hydraulic motor-driven mixer with a speed of up to 10,000 rpm, offering the advantage of lower weight.
- Static Mixer: Catering to specific elastomer systems, featuring a static mixer setup.
Ensuring Seamless Operation: Double Hydraulic Solenoid Valve Control
Equipped with a 7.5 kW hydraulic unit, pre-charged accumulator, pressure regulator, and integral heat exchanger, our low-pressure impingement mixing heads offer all the benefits of high-pressure metering technology. Whether in straight or L-style mix heads, expect smooth pouring, reduced costs, enhanced product quality, and the ability to use fast-reacting formulations.
