Resin and silicone molding system with hydraulic or mechanical press

The resin and silicone molding system requires that the epoxy used for molding be prepared in two separate mixers, H and R, where the various components, resin, quartz, drying agents, etc... are mixed and effectively degassed. During the molding phase, the resin and hardener are transferred to the mold by two high-precision volumetric pumps capable of dosing the H and R components according to the specified ratios. For example, with ratios such as 1:1, 1:0.8, and so on. Before entering the mold, the H and R components are mixed using a static mixer (SMX in drawing 2) designed by SILMEK. The mixer is made from high-strength steel, ensuring maximum efficiency for at least 5 years.

This system allows for the production of a formulated resin that remains consistently fresh and exhibits maximum fluidity. These characteristics are essential in producing high-quality products. The mold filling operation will take between 2 to 5 minutes to complete, and the curing process requires 15 to 50 minutes, depending on the size and complexity of the objects to be produced.

At the end of the day, the static mixer must be cleaned. This operation is simplified by a specific system provided by SILMEK. The mixer cleaning process will take no more than 10 minutes, with limited production of waste material. All of our molding presses are fully automatic and come equipped with a PLC control unit and a touchscreen operator interface.

All processes are constantly monitored by the PLC. Programs are created according to the specific needs of the customer. The system described above can supply multiple presses, as shown in the diagram.
