Static Mixers

Static Mixer for Injection/Extrusion in Polymer Homogenization

The SMB Extrusion Melt Mixer homogenizes the polymer right at the die inlet. Benefits include:

• Reduction in the use of colorants / additives while maintaining excellent density, viscosity and color.

• Increases the admission of recycled material

• Uniformly melted flow in the die

• High reduction of rejects even in cold

• Rapid reduction of the investment cost of the mixer

GXR Mixing Elements for Mixing Polymers, Adhesives, Silicones, Resins

GXR static mixing elements are ideal for mixing/dispersing viscous fluids. The mixing elements are virtually indestructible, and when cleaning is required, they can be easily removed by pressing them out of the housing without damage. Applications include:

• Mixing polymer melts for plastic injection, molding, and extrusion

• Mixing high viscosity 2-component blends such as adhesives, polysulfides, silicones, and epoxy resins

• Mixing polyols with gas, blowing liquid agents, and isocyanates

GX elements have been used successfully in laminar flow applications for over 25 years. Applications include:
