The PolymMIXER Mixing Nozzle contains eight (8) very efficient static mixing elements that homogenize the polymer melt during injection. The mixing elements are virtually indestructible and create a low pressure drop.
The outstanding mixing of the polymer melt prior to injection results in the following benefits:
- Reduced spots, streaks and clouds of color.
- Reduced colorant usage (10% - 40%).
- Narrower part tolerance.
- Reduced reject rates.
- Less part distortion.
- Less weight variation.
- Improved part quality when using regrind material.
- Shorter cycle time.
- Improved melt flow.

Mixing of blue and white epoxy resins. Empty
tube (1) provides no mixing. Eight (2) SMN mixing elements
(3) provide an excellent mix quality in a short
length.

Figure #1: The Mixing Elements are extremely strong
due to their monolithic cast construction where the mixing
bars are joined to each other and to the ring wall via a single molten metal pour. |
