The FlexMix 600 is suitable for, for example, pouring, sealing, glueing, production of sandwich panels and other applications. The FlexMix 600 is a modular dosing system ideal for solvent-free adhesives for the pumps used are gear pumps. The gear pumps can be supplied in various designs. The FlexMix 600 is used to process 1K, 2K and 3K adhesives with a low to high viscosity such as epoxies, polyurethanes, polyols and silicones. The adhesives are transported to the gear pumps via the built-in tank (s).

The tanks can be carried out in a manual filling version or automatic filling using 200-litre drums. If the adhesives are delivered in IBC containers, they can be directly connected to the tanks. The tanks are then automatically filled without the intervention of filling pumps. Each tank is equipped with level sensors. The low-level sensor prevents the gear pump from running dry, and a middle level indicates that it needs to be topped up. An air dryer is installed on each tank as standard. Optionally, a nitrogen generator can be built-in, for example, to protect polyurethanes against the influence of moisture. A nitrogen blanket is placed above the adhesive.

Precisely the correct mixing ratio to the mixing valve. Mixing takes place in a disposable static mixer. To always guarantee the accurate yield of the adhesive, even with small quantities and the use of long hoses between pump and dosing head, the pressure control system specially developed by Tanoujo is used. The gear pumps are driven by AC motors, controlled by frequency converters. The speed of the motors is monitored with feedback. The correct mixing ratio is continuously monitored and adjusted if necessary. Each pump is provided with a test program to test the output of the gear pumps regularly. Each FlexMix is ​​equipped with control with touchscreen FlexMix: multi-component dosing and mixing systems with gear pump technology. The system is compact, versatile and reliable, for accurate dosing of liquids with low to high viscosity.

The FlexMix offers intelligent adhesive ratios for reliable pour, glue and seal solutions. The adhesives are fed to the gear pumps via the built-in tanks. From there, the two liquids are pumped in precisely the proper mixing ratio to the mixing valve. Mixing takes place in a disposable static mixer.

Tanoujo has developed an automated adhesive system for the sandwich panel industry. With this system, you can apply glue to your vacuum tables.

The adhesives can be supplied from IBC containers. The adhesives are automatically pumped from the containers to the buffer tanks in the FlexBot-machine. The transport hoses are connected to the machine via a cable guide against the wall, clear of the floor. The cable routing also brings the power supply and air supply to the FlexBot-machine. The buffer tanks in the FlexBot-machine are equipped with level sensors. If the adhesive level in the buffer tank falls below the middle level, the tank is automatically filled until the high level is reached. An under-level sensor prevents the pumps from getting glue. The machine is switched off when the bottom level is reached. The buffer tanks make it possible to exchange the IBC tanks without production downtime.

The FlexBot-machine is equipped with highly accurate gear pumps. AC motors with feedback drive the gear pumps. The correct output of the gear pumps is checked through the DV system developed by Tanoujo. During volumetric dosing during production, the correct speed is electronically controlled and thus the yield. During the Pressure mode, when the dosing head is closed, the internal leak in the pump is measured. If this leak is outside the specification, it will be reported. The yield can also be checked manually via a unique pump test program. All data is stored in a data log.

The FlexBot-machine is equipped with the HV550 mixing gun for applying the adhesive. The 3 different adhesives are supplied separately to the mixing gun. Depending on the ratio between the two A-components and the glue ratio with the B-component, the 3 types of glue are mixed in the static mixer. The mixing ratio between the two A-components can be automatically adjusted during production. The outside temperature and humidity are taken into account, and the desired pot life and pressing time are determined. Various mixing tubes are available to be able to mix even the most difficult adhesives. The spreader that distributes the adhesive is connected directly to the mixing tube. This spreader distributes the adhesive in stripes on the panel with a centre-to-centre distance of 5 mm. With a yield of 250 grams/m2, this gives in most cases a full-surface adhesive image after pressing. Mixing tube and spreader are disposable and can be disposed of with regular waste after production.

All settings required for the correct adhesive output can be entered in the touchscreen. The specific weight of the adhesives, mixing ratios, pump size, regeneration times, settings for the DV system and all other settings are essential.

Apply glue manually but still mix the glue automatically. The result is a consistent quality of the end product. The adhesive is always mixed to the correct proportion and applied manually to the panel using a spreader. The result is lower adhesive consumption and fewer man-hours. A semi-manual system consists of a dosing unit, 1K, 2K, or 3K, along with a supply hose, dosing head and a mixing tube with a 600 mm wide spreader fitted with a nozzle from a centre-to-centre distance of 5 mm. Filling a stock bucket with mixed material is also possible. This mixed product can then be applied manually. We have developed special software that automatically calculates the correct amount of glue per glue table based on the desired grams per m2.

Both systems are easy to use. With a low investment, it gives a larger production capacity and a constant quality.
