Premium application-specific solutions with KraussMaffei s miing head range Packaging Spraying a PUR system into an open mold, or directly onto preformed intermediate products, has substantial benefits. The technical advantages of spraying include great freedom in parts design, simple solutions for realizing comple part geometries, uniform PUR layer thickness and premium surfaces. There are also cost benefits, such as lower investment cost for molds. KraussMaffei supplies the complete, coherent systems that are essential for ecellent results in PUR spraying. In addition to the application-specific miing head, the system includes the tooling, the premiing and metering systems and downstream equipment.

The fibers are very uniformly wetted with the PUR mi. Coaial fiber feed also means that the cutter unit need not be located directly at the miing head. The outcome is even greater freedom in part design, because the miing head can swing over 90 from its vertical position. Fiber content and fiber length are set to meet product specifications.
