Two-component spray mixing machine

By Leave a Comment

The Sames Kremlin Cyclomix Micro is a mixing machine for two-component materials.

The machine allows the user to meter-mix and continuously deliver two-component paints and adhesives.

The mixing process works by catalyst injection into a constant flow of base material.

The catalyst is injected in the centre of the stream at a very high frequency.

The unit does not require an additional pre-mix chamber.

The benefits are fresh material on demand, the elimination of manual mixing errors and significant material savings, the company says.

The machine is available in 1 or 3 bases (colours) and 1 catalyst.

  • rates up to 150 TPH or more with a pre-screen;
  • rotor diameters of 24 to 48 in. with lengths from 36 to 88 in.; and,
  • 100 to 1000 hp output.

Inox has introduced the PD96, a commercial-grade sliding door lock.

The unit combines a built-in auto-latching and auto-locking feature with the ability to accomplish the five most common lockset functions: passage, privacy, entry/office, classroom and storeroom.

The product uses the same basic lock case for the passage, entry/office, classroom and storeroom functions and the trim determines each function. Only the privacy function requires a different lock case.

The lock is ADA-compliant, provides emergency egress and is designed from 304 stainless steel to withstand commercial construction and application.

It is available in several trims and comes in satin or bright polished stainless steel, as well as CeraMax ceramic-coating finishes.
