Wet System General Specification
One (1) CANNON USA A-100 Standard high pressure metering machine is designed to process a two (2) component, unfilled polyurethane system. Metering is a accomplished by two (2) Rexroth positive displacement axial piston pumps driven by one (1) induction motor. Temperature conditioning is by means of shell and tube heat exchangers and jacket day tanks fitted with electrical immersion heaters and cooling water demand solenoids.
Each component is stored in 87 gallon tanks. The tanks are pressurized with dry air. Each chemical flows by "blanket" pressure from the tank through an inline component filter to the metering pump.
Mixing is by the impingement principle with a hydraulically operated self-cleaning mixhead. The hydraulic power is supplied from a self contained hydraulic power unit complete with pump, motor, reservoir and heat exchanger. The hydraulic power unit is mounted on the metering frame. The hydraulic head actuation is controlled by double hydraulic valves.
Monitoring of each component flow rate and ratio of the components is accomplished by the I.R.D (Instant Ratio Detector). The flow rates and ratio of the components is measured by means of high precision flow transducers mounted between the metering pumps and diverter valves.

Work Tank Specifications
Chemical components are stored in pressurized tanks. Chemical conditioning in the tank is achieved with electrical resistance heaters located at the bottom of each tank, and with the use of external chilled water.
Four Capacitance level controls are mounted on the tank to control replenishment of materials form customer's drum stock or bulk storage plant and to signal for high and low level alarms.

Piping Manifold Specification
The manifold system consist of the framework, piping, fittings, valves and conduit, which provides the pressurized delivery of the chemical components, hydraulic fluid and electrical signals to one (1) FPL-14 mixing heads.
The manifold will consist of the following:
- Floor mounted support frames
- High pressure carbon steel seamless tubing for feed and return of the chemical components and hydraulic fluid.
- Tubing insulation for chemical lines
- Dual mixhead hydraulic valves
- Accumulator for mixhead hydraulic system
- Pressure guages
- Electrical raceway
- Electrical junction box
FPL Mixhead
The FPL mixhead is mechanically self-cleaning high pressure mixhead capable of free pour, open mold dispense or fixed to a closed mold for injection.
The FPL mixhead has two (2) chambers, the mix chamber and the output chamber. Each chamber has its own clean-out piston. The mix chamber is located at a 90 degree angle to the outpour chamber. The sequence of movement during a shot is as follows:
1. Cleanout chamber piston retract - beginning of pour.
2. Mix chamber piston retract pouring occurs
3. Mix chamber piston closes pouring stops
4. Cleanout chamber piston closes -end of pour
Specifications
Minimum total components output @ 1:1 ratio:
100 cc/sec total (both components)
Maximum total components output @ 1:1 ratio:
600 cc/sec total (both components)
Component maximum working pressure: 3000 Psi
Mixhead Hydraulics
The mix piston and cleanout piston movements are controlled hydraulically. The operation of each piston is controlled independently from the other by the use of a double hydraulic valve set-up. Each piston is fitted with a proximity sensor for detection of the piston in the open position.
Electrical Requirements
Electrical Power: 460V, 60Hz, 3 Phase
Service Amps: 100A
450A main disconnect (to service entire system)
