PPI opens new demonstration facility

“We have an OMS Ecomaster 100 high-pressure machine and an OMS Impact 6 low-pressure machine,” said Mark Clark, PPI founder and General Manager. PPI is the exclusive US distributor of polyurethane foam equipment made by Italian manufacturer Impianti OMS S.p.A.

Both OMS machines are available for inspection and demonstration at PPI’s facility. Customers will be able to look over the features of each machine and see how the machines work using a neutral oil in place of their chemical components.

The Ecomaster family of polyurethane mixing and dispensing machines can be configured for nearly any high-pressure application, including continuous and discontinuous insulating panels, refrigerator doors and cabinets, hot water heaters and automotive interior components.

The Ecomaster 100 demonstration machine can output from 80 g/s to 1,600 g/s on both sides, with a 1:1 ratio. It is equipped with:

• 65 gallon ASME 150 psi jacketed tanks with agitators and automatic level control
• Return line heat exchangers
• Rexroth A7 28cc/rev pumps
• Magnetic coupling on the isocyanate pump
• AB Compact Logix PLC and touch screen HMI
• Inverters and flow meters for closed-loop flow control
• L-style 12/18 mix head with pendant

OMS Impact low-pressure metering machines are used in a number of applications, including low-volume production, elastomers, microdosing, foam-in-place gasket and filter plants, and continuous block foam production.

The Impact 6 demonstration machine is designed for a 2:1 ratio and total output capabilities (both sides) from 30 g/s to 120 g/s. It is equipped with:

• 20 gallon, 0.5 bar non-code tanks
• 0.4 bar tank pressurisation circuits
• Automatic level control
• Agitator on the polyol tank
• AB micro Logix PLC and HMI
• Inverter pump output control
• Inverter mixer motor speed control
• Hot water flush and solvent flush capabilities
