Cannon Viking, a company of the Cannon Group and a market leader in technologies, processing and molds for \u00a0polyurethanes and urethane elastomers, introduces the new LayDown Master at UTECH Europe to complete its \u00a0offering for PU slabstock foam producers using Liquid Laydown technology.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Based on the experience gained over many years, Cannon Viking\u2019s LayDown Master is a distribution device which\u00a0 has been inspired by the CarDio\u00ae gatebar. It is aimed at slabstock producers using a conventional Liquid Laydown\u00a0 or Maxfoam Trough machines. The LayDown Master has been specifically developed and made available as a kit for\u00a0 evenly distributing the liquid PU across the width of the foaming conveyor before reaction, requiring less\u00a0 modifications to the existing hardware and suitable to be (retro)fitted to virtually all existing foam production lines.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe advantages of the LayDown Master are numerous,\u201d <\/em>says Richard Doublet-Stewart, Regional Sales Manager at\u00a0 Cannon Viking. \u201cThe technology avoids the use of a traversing mixing head, whilst providing uniform foam laydown\u00a0 across the whole width of the conveyor, delivering a more regular cell structure across the block. The LayDown\u00a0 Master is especially suitable for highly reactive foam grades, such as MDI, Viscos and HR foams. It produces optimum\u00a0 quality foams due to liquid laydown by avoiding pinholes and build-up, typically seen with Maxfoam trough\u00a0 technology.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n As the Laydown Master is available as a kit, it requires a short installation time on existing production lines, ensuring\u00a0 only a minimal impact on the production and machinery. It is suitable for low-pressure, partial high-pressure and\u00a0 high-pressure technologies, and allows for a quick change of grade and colour, shortening the transition phase\u00a0 between foam grades, reducing the amount of scrap foam and thus saving valuable raw materials.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The LayDown Master features a slot that is wide enough to allow for the use of very viscous formulations and solid\u00a0 fillers, which are key to ensure consistent quality for the foam standards. The slot can be easily adjusted between\u00a0 different foam grades by inserting spacers, reducing downtime to the absolute minimum.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Cannon Viking offers several technologies aimed at foam producers with continuous and discontinuous block\u00a0 foaming methods. Under the CarDio\u00ae brand this includes complete production lines as well as conversion kits for\u00a0 existing lines for using liquid CO2 expansion technology, while the new LayDown Master is aimed at new and existing\u00a0 lines with Liquid Laydown technology. Together with its foam block size and profile control technologies, Cannon\u00a0 Viking now has a full range of equipment available to cover all possible PU slabstock foam market needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Cannon Viking, a company of the Cannon Group and a market leader in technologies, processing and molds for \u00a0polyurethanes and urethane elastomers, introduces the new LayDown Master at UTECH Europe to complete its \u00a0offering for PU slabstock foam producers using Liquid Laydown technology….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13130,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[3771],"yoast_head":"\n
