Barriercoat/Core Material Dispense System
Magnum Venus Plastech is pleased to introduce a system specifically designed to dispense sprayable syntactic materials for core replacement and barrier coats. This system is the only one that can handle low density syntactics with compressible spheres, and internally mix them with even catalyzation and thorough mix.

- Description
The UltraMAX™ Chop Check (shovel pump) Mix/Meter System for Syntactic Materials was originally designed as a putty or adhesive dispensing system mounted onto a 55-gallon ram plunger. By removing the ram plunger, and replacing it with a bulk feed pump inlet housing, the system is able to provide pressure feeding through a transfer pump. The advantage to using this unique system is the minimization of sphere compression at the pump's top-end reversal, as the shovel pre-loads the materials resulting in a more
uniform delivery to the spray tip.
Syntactic materials in barrier coats and core replacement contain spheres which are compressible once under pressure. The challenge with standard reciprocating ball check pumps is “hot spots” that develop once the materials are first put under pressure at the top pump reversal. Because the MEKP slave pump is linked to the resin pump, the end result at the top of the pump reversal ("hot spot") is a lack of the syntactic material during sphere compression. The higher the sphere content, and/or fluid pressures, the greater the sphere compression or "hot spot".
Another advantage with this system is that it is built utilizing quick-change components, which allows for little or no down time. The major components change out in 10 minutes or less.
