Industries
Reactive Extrusion: TPU
As pioneers in the plastics industry, there are almost no applications that are too exotic for us to tackle. With decades of experience, there is a chance we have already worked on a project like yours.
Masterbatch and highly-filled compounds
Black, white, green, blue, red … or UV-HALS? Masterbatches (highly concentrated, pre-dispersed pigments, fillers, and additives) are essential for the plastics industry.
They allow easy material adjustments, are stabilized, and ready for use. We offer standard and custom systems for pre-mix, split-feed, reactive compounds, and effect pigments, optimized for efficiency, cleaning, and flexible recipe changes.

A solution for every application
Our spray mixing heads have been specially developed for the requirements of a wide range of spray technologies – with the aim of offering you maximum flexibility and creative freedom in design. Whether complex geometries, fine surfaces or large-area applications: the technology behind our spray mixing heads ensures uniform, precise distribution of the material, enabling high-quality results in every application.
Core features of the spray mixing head
- Armored mixing head for highly filled PUR systems
- Excellent mixing quality even with extreme mixing ratios
- Low overspray, sharp spray boundaries
- Material savings through optimal material application
In the automated CCM (Clear Coat Molding) process, high-quality components are flooded with a transparent two-component PUR system. The CCM mixing heads ensure optimum temperature control of the raw materials. Even small discharge quantities are perfectly mixed and fed into the cavity without bubbles.
In a ColorForm application, coloured PUR or PUA coatings are applied in a closed mould.
Key features of the ColorForm CCM mixing head
- Filling process with perfect mixing for optimum component quality
- High reliability and durability
- High flexibility in nozzle technology
- Self-cleaning, maintenance-friendly design
The LFI-PUR Long Fiber Injection Polyurethane process is used to manufacture high-strength lightweight components. The LFI process unit has three essential tasks that are crucial for the quality of the end products:
Core properties of long fiber injection (LFI) Mixing head
- Conveying and cutting the roving
- Mixing the reaction components
- Wetting the reinforcing fibers with the reactive mixture
- Adjusting the fiber quantity and length as required
- Flow-optimized geometry of the cleaning piston
This compact and highly efficient linear mixing head is suitable for processing fast resin systems in the HP-RTM process with high-pressure mixing for the production of lightweight and high-strength components.
Core features of the resin transfer molding RTM mixing head
- High degree of process reliability and repeatability
- Production of high-strength components in large quantities
- Production of excellent surfaces
- Can be used at high mold temperatures
High-pressure deflection mixing head with 2 separate mixing chambers and one outlet pipe.
Our low-pressure mixing head offers an economical solution for applications with small shot quantities and low investment requirements. Mixing is carried out by a rotating agitator at pressures below 10 bar – ideal for difficult-to-mix systems and precise dosing from 0.5 g/s.
Particularly suitable for niche processes where flexibility and simple system technology are paramount.
Key features of the low-pressure mixing head
- Easy option to run 2 different components one after the other
- Quick change between 2 systems in one system
- Easy control and integration into existing systems
- All the advantages of our deflection mixing heads
