Magnum Venus Plastech Limited

Using the pressure pot principle pre-mixed resin systems are drawn into the machine under vacuum, actively degassed, then dispensed under pressure into the mould cavity. Processing requirements of single part epoxy materials such as Hexcel’s RTM6 and Cytec Engineered Materials have led to heated systems complete with higher levels of control and monitoring.

General Specification

The Hypaject^TM system is highly versatile:

Standard 6 litre capacity homogenisers are complimented by ‘special order’ sizes, ranging from 0.3 to 30 litre.
Removable joining seals permit easy maintenance.
Internal venturi vacuum generator (to 100mBar abs) for loading and degassing material.
Capable of injecting at pressures ranging from 0.1 bar to 10 bar.
Able to inject quantities from 50 to 6000cc.
Standard heated machines have 150^oC capability with full PID control. Dependant upon specification.
Range of monitoring instruments and outputs available including weight, pressure and temperature.
Suitable for use with virtually all thermosetting resin systems, including:- polyester, vinylester, methyl methacrylate, phenolic, single and multi component epoxies.

Hypaject MkIII Options

OPTION 2

Standard Spares Kit - Part Ref: 2074

Spares kit contains a set of all serviceable seals, resin valve diaphragm, a selection of pneumatic fittings, 4mm and 6mm nylon.

OPTION 3

Mould Vacuum Service - Part Ref: 2085

Additional venturi driven vacuum system provides vacuum levels to 100mBar abs. System includes On/Off switch, vacuum gauge, isolator and 6mm quick fit vacuum outlet. Controls are incorporated into main control cabinet and system operates from internal machine air supply.

OPTION 4 -

External Pressure Source - Part Ref: 2096

System comprises 3 way stainless steel ball valve and relevant connections to separate the pressure in homogeniser from the air used to operate the machine control circuit. This permits connection of secondary pressure source (0-10Bar) including other gasses e.g. Argon for use directly with the homogeniser.

OPTION 5 -

External Vacuum Source - Part Ref: 2106

System comprises 3 way stainless steel ball valve and relevant connections. This enables the use of external vacuum pumps allowing higher vacuum levels to be reached in the Homogeniser.

OPTION 6 -

Homogeniser is suspended from strain gauge transducer and readout is monitored on digital readout with 4 digit LED display unit incorporated into the control cabinet. A tare button is also included in the desktop control cabinet. Weighing resolution is 1g. 0-10v analogue output is incorporated as standard. Alternative monitoring outputs are available on request. System may be used to monitor flow rate if output is plotted against a timebase.

OPTION 7 -

Pressure Transducer with digital readout - Part Ref: 2124

Pressure transducer is incorporated into machine homogeniser. Full range of operating vacuum/pressure levels may be monitored and displayed on digital readout unit with 4 digit LED display incorporated into the desktop control cabinet. Monitoring resolution is 10mBar. 0-10v analogue output is incorporated as standard. Alternative monitoring outputs are available on request.

OPTION 8 -

Internal Homogeniser Thermocouple - Part Ref: 2125

K type thermocouple probe is incorporated into machine homogeniser to monitor actual resin temperature. Connector provided outside homogeniser for connection to external monitoring equipment.

OPTION 9 -

Readout for Internal Homogeniser Thermocouple - Part Ref: 2126

3 digit LED readout unit for internal homogeniser thermocouple. Readout is incorporated into desktop control cabinet.

OPTION 10 -

2 Channel Heating System - Part Ref: 2127

System is designed to heat resin homogeniser in two sections. System comprises one 110v 800w and one 110v 300w mica band heaters. Power supplies and full PID control units are incorporated into the desktop control cabinet. System allows heating of homogeniser to 150^oC max and control of homogeniser temperature to +/- 1^oC. A heat shielded actuated injection valve is included. Two secondary K type thermocouples are provided for monitoring purposes. Note: See optional item No. 13.

OPTION 11 -

3 Channel Heating System - Part Ref: 2129

As option 10 with the addition of a 1.5m long 3/8” heated injection hose with 200^o C capability. Power supply and full PID control are incorporated into the desktop control cabinet. A heat shielded actuated injection valve is included and a secondary K type thermocouple is provided for monitoring purposes. Note: See optional item No. 13.

OPTION 12 -

5 Channel Heating System - Part Ref: 2130

As options 10 and 11, but with the addition of a heated loading melt plate and heated intake pipe. Power supplies and full PID control are incorporated into the desktop control cabinet.
