PATRIOT™ LINE ADDS TWO NEW INJECTION/INFUSION SYSTEMS
Kent, WA - Magnum Venus Plastech Releases New Patriot™ Pro Innovator and Patriot™ Megaject Innovator Injection/Infusion Systems
Magnum Venus Plastech has expanded their Patriot™ line of systems to include two new injection/infusion systems – the Patriot™ Pro Innovator and Patriot™ Megaject Innovator Systems.
Both systems deliver power, versatility, automation and unprecedented precision to the closed mold production process.
The Patriot™ Innovator Pro Injection System was designed for injecting polyester, vinylester and methacrylate resins and catalyst at controlled pressures. The mixing of the materials happens at the injection head, and the catalyst ratio can be adjusted from 0.75% to 2.5%. The Patriot™ Megaject Innovator Injection System AutoHead mixes on demand at the injection head, and the catalyst ratio can also be adjusted from 0.75% to 2.5%.
The fully pneumatic automated controls on both systems, controlling the number of strokes during injections, recirculation, and more makes the process easier and more efficient. Included features of these systems include: Resin Gel Alarm (RGA) on the Pro Innovator, Mold Pressure Guard (MPG) on both systems, Recirculation Package, Gun/TurboAutosprue on/off, and the flush controls. They are also designed to include the optional Pneumatic PV Sensor, Pneumatic AutoCatch and Heater Control.
Both the Fluid Section and Catalyst Pump on all Patriot™ Systems feature the new “self-healing” seal that has the lowest coefficients of friction available today. This seal does not require packing adjustments, and greatly reduces the problems associated with heat buildup and wear.
The extremely low variance rate offered by the Patriot™ Innovator Pro and Patriot™ Megaject Injection Systems makes them ideal for the injection or infusion closed mold processes. Any closed molding process requires a higher level of precision with every cycle, and the testing has shown that Patriot™ delivers the most efficient and consistent level of precision for this process. If the injection system is inconsistent, the quality of the product will be inconsistent.
The Patriot™ Pro Innovator System was showcased during the live Flex Molding Process demonstrations conducted in the MVP booth during the JEC Exhibition.
