Three-Component PU Casting Machine | Industrial Elastomers

Engineered for MDI, TDI, and NDI prepolymer formulations, the HF-CPU300-3K delivers accurate continuous metering and high-shear dynamic mixing at temperatures up to 140°C for rollers, screens, and wear parts.

Industrial CPU Casting Technology

Precision Metering and Thermal Homogeneity for Polyurethane Elastomers

The HF-CPU300-3K is a high-temperature three-component CPU casting machine designed for precision metering, dynamic mixing, and bubble-free dispensing of prepolymers and chain extenders in heavy-duty industrial elastomer manufacturing.

The HF-CPU300-3K is an industrial-grade three-component casting system engineered specifically for high-performance cast polyurethane elastomer (CPU) production. It integrates dedicated vacuum thin-film degassing, thermal oil jacketed temperature regulation, and high-precision dosing pumps to handle demanding prepolymer formulations such as TDI/MOCA and MDI/BDO systems.

Equipped with an advanced high-shear dynamic mixing head, the unit prevents thermal degradation and air entrapment during injection. Independent closed-loop flow control ensures dynamic stoichiometry tracking across varying discharge rates, supporting both open mold gravity casting and low-pressure closed mold filling without mechanical surging or shot weight variations.

Precision Metering and Thermal Homogeneity for Polyurethane Elastomers

Material Flow and Working Principle

Thermal Preparation & Thin-Film Degassing

Prepolymer and polyol components are heated via independent thermal oil jackets to operating temperatures between 80°C and 130°C, while multi-stage vacuum thin-film degassing extracts micro-void moisture and residual gases under pressures below 0.08 kPa.

Synchronized Closed-Loop Metering

Servo-driven high-precision rotary gear pumps meter components into heated delivery lines, with Coriolis mass flow meters providing continuous feedback to maintain ratio tolerances within ±0.3%.

High-Shear Dynamic Homogenization

The component streams enter the high-speed dynamic mixing chamber, where a variable-speed rotor operating between 2,000 and 6,000 RPM shears the formulation into a homogeneous mixture without introducing frictional overheating.

Controlled Dispensing & Self-Cleaning

The mixture is dispensed directly into preheated molds through a non-drip anti-splash nozzle; upon sequence completion, an automated pneumatic snuffer valve seals the outlet and executes programmed solvent/air purge cycles.

Planning questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Which prepolymers can the HF-CPU300-3K process reliably?
The system reliably processes TDI, MDI, and NDI prepolymers formulated with PTMEG, PPG, or polyester polyols.
How does the system eliminate micro-bubbles during high-viscosity casting?
It combines multi-stage falling-film vacuum degassing below 0.08 kPa with laminar high-shear dynamic mixing that avoids cavitation.
What is the operational temperature limit for high-melting curatives like MOCA?
The thermal oil jacketed system continuously maintains temperatures up to 140°C with an accuracy of ±0.5°C across all feed lines.
Can the discharge rate be modulated automatically during mold filling?
Yes, servo-driven gear pumps continuously ramp flow rates between 5.0 and 35.0 kg/min based on pre-programmed mold profile sequences.
