Specifications:
The MVP Infusion System has an injection capacity of approximately 60 lbs./min (6 gal./min or 22 litre/min) with a power ratio of 10:1. The mix ratio ranges from 0.8% to 4%, and the meter mix percentage is accurate to ±0.01%. The system operates at a working pressure of 1,350 PSI (90 bar) and requires air pressure of 90 PSI (6 bar). Customers need to supply a material drum and/or manifold to port supply.
Infusion Process:
Infusion uses vacuum pressure to force resin into a dry laminate. The process involves placing dry materials into a mold, applying a vacuum, and then introducing resin. This method reduces resin waste, ensures consistent material usage, and results in lighter, stronger parts by optimizing resin usage and removing excess.
Features of the MVP Infusion Unit:
The unit includes precise metering technology, reliable high-volume flow, and the Automatic ProGun™ for consistent internal mix delivery. It boasts the lowest mix/meter percentage at ±0.01% and reduced gassing due to a unique catalyst pump. The catalyst pump undergoes passivation, enhancing the quality and longevity of stainless steel.
Advantages of the ProGun™:
Mixing occurs at the ProGun™, reducing downtime for cleaning and maintenance and increasing part and material savings. The ProGun™ uses minimal solvent (as low as 7 grams) to clean the mix chamber after each part, eliminating the need to change the vacuum hose after each use.
