  See Compounding/Mixing Systems.

• Closed-loop Process Control Systems
• Contiuous Double-Belt Laminators
• Dispensing Equipment for Reactive Resin Systems
• Flow Monitoring/Control Devices (for Liquids)
• Hoppers, Bins, Tanks

  Custom-built liquid bulk-storage systems. Tanks supplied in carbon steel with plascite lining or stainless steel in sizes to 30,000 gal. Temperature control and tank agitation available.

• Liquid Mixers

  RRIM filler blending systems blend "B" component (polyol) of urethane, polyurea or polyester RRIM systems with fillers, internal mold release, and carbon black. Applications include automotive fascias, doors, fenders, side moldings, bathtubs, sinks, etc. Mixer sizes from 25-gal lab unit to 980-gal system.

  Capacities for blending slurries up to 4500 lb/hr. Automatic filler unloading from gaylords prevents material loss and ensures clean, dust-free environment. Liquid components received from bulk-storage tanks or drums. Weight-metered components ensure accurate and consistent ratios.

  Orbital-arm, conical-screw mixer provides efficient mixing. Slurry is automatically transferred to temperature-controlled holding tank. Recirculation/transfer pump and pipe loop conveys slurry to RRIM stations. Load cells interfaced with a programmable controller ensure accurate control. Process is displayed graphically on a CRT with SPC capability.

  Custom-designed, modular polyol in-line blending system can blend three to six components. Controls (PC plus Allen-Bradley PLC) are menu-driven. Sensors continually monitor ratio precision.

  *Nucleation and measurement of in-line density.

  *Flexible and rigid foam metering machines with outputs to 850 lb/min.

  *Low-output, continuous-delivery machines for spraying or pouring, with hand-held, self-cleaning, light-weight guns.

  *Specialized low-pressure metering equipment.

  *Lab-scale metering machinery and data-acquisition software.

  *RIM recycling equipment.

  *RIM, RRIM, RTM, SRIM molding, booking and tilting presses.

  *Controls and SPC packages.

  *Low-output, high-pressure metering machines with total T/Ps as low as 20 g/sec.

  Now provides North American sales and service for PUR equipment from Isotherm AG of Switzerland, which specializes in highly accurate, low-throughput metering and spray painting.

  Company has also introduced to North America new RIM PUR technology jointly developed by Isotherm AG of Switzerland, Bayer AG of Germany, and Finland's Slacomp Oy for encapsulating sensitive electronics of power supplies (e.g., chargers for electric toothbrushes). Power supplies are made in a one-step process whereby liquid PUR is injected by Isotherm high-pressure RIM equipment into a closed mold containing the electronic components, resulting in a watertight, seamless closure. Relatively low processing temperature protects the electronics during encapsulation. Technology is designed to replace the two conventional thermoplastic shells. Linden offers Isotherm equipment in North America.
