LSR metering systems

High-precision metering technology

SilcoStar metering systems are available in servo-electric or hydraulic versions. Both systems are characterized by precision and reliability.

SilcoStar E-Drive

The SilcoStar E-Drive series is a servo-electrically driven metering machine with variably adjustable mixing ratio for the production of liquid silicone molded parts.

Characteristics

Viscosity: < 1 000 000 mPas
Output mixed material: 1 000 g/min (depending on viscosity)
Mixing ratio: Variable
Colour metering: 0.3 … 4 %
Actuation: Servo-electric

Applications

> Production of liquid silicone mouldings such as baby dummies, face masks, medical tubes, medical implants or blood filters

Product characteristics

> Servo-electrically driven linear drive with brake and planetary roller screw drive
> High-precision metering pumps even with low shot weights
> Uniform emptying of the barrels through volumetric adjustment of the mixing ratio and patented barrel bottom support
> Integrated roll-in device for easy positioning of the barrels and faster barrel changing
> Patented mixture pressure control directly at the inflow for a constant metering time of the injection moulding machine
> Pressure monitoring via pressure sensors at the pump outlets and at the metering head

Options

> Integrated roll-in device with automatic barrel bottom support
> Volumetric flow monitoring
> Automatic pump venting
> Follower plate with automatic venting (combination follower plate for 20 and 200 liters)
> 1 liter colour supply pressure tank with level indicator
> 10 liter colour supply pump
> Mobile 20 liter colour supply unit with agitator
> Colour metering with metering valve and position indicator
> Cooling jacket for static mixer
> Metering control of A + B
> Colour metering control with volume counter
> OPC-UA interface based on the EUROMAP 82.3 standard

SilcoStar HY-Drive

The alternative SilcoStar HY-Drive series are hydraulically driven metering machines. These series are the perfect solution for simple applications. The basic equipment included forms the basic model of our SilcoStar product line. Thanks to its easy operation, the HY-Drive is particularly suitable for newcomers.
The hydraulically driven HY-Drive series has a higher energy higher energy efficiency than comparable pneumatic machines. The hydraulically coupled drive cylinders ensure a fixed mixing ratio of 1:1.

Characteristics

Viscosity: < 1 000 000 mPas
Output mixed material: 1 000 g/min (depending on viscosity)
Mixing ratio: 1:1
Colour metering: 0.3 … 4 %
Actuation: Hydraulic

Applications

> Production of liquid silicone mouldings such as baby dummies, face masks, medical tubes, medical implants or blood filters

Options

> 1 liter colour supply pressure vessel with fill level indicator
> 10 liter colour supply pump with empty sensor
> Movable 20 liter colour supply pump with agitator
> Cooling jacket for static mixer
> Combo follower plate for 20 and 200 liters
> Machine connection with metering control, cooled static mixer and sensor for mixed material
