Автор: Daniel P. Ross, Joseph E. Tix, Paul R. Quam
Принадлежит: GRACO MINNESOTA INC

A melt system capable of heating hot melt pellets into a liquid includes a melter including a body, a chamber, a collector, channels, and a heater. The thermally conductive body forms an interior with a surface area. The chamber is at an upper end of the body for receiving the pellets. The collector is within the body and located below the chamber for receiving the liquid from the melted pellets. The channels extend between the chamber and the collector to increase the surface area of the interior, and the walls of the channels form heat exchange surfaces. The heater is for transferring heat to the body.

Injection Molding Method and Apparatus

Номер: US20130108730A1
Автор: Fitzpatrick Richard Ernest
Принадлежит: Koalesce, Inc.

A thermoplastic injection molding system and method of use is described for molding parts from heated plastics and other organic resins. The machine uses heat sources located along the barrel to heat the source material while an auger screw transports the source material in the barrel. This transport step does not shear the source material, nor does it use friction to produce the heat necessary to melt the source material. The material becomes substantially liquid or melted during the heating process, and the melted material is forced, by the auger screw, into a chamber whereupon a plunger, situated concentrically with the auger screw, injects the material from the chamber into a mold. Sensors located along the barrel and in the chamber ensure consistency between mold cycles. The controller dynamically adjusts the injection molding process to achieve more consistent and reliable molded parts. 1a barrel having an interior and having a longitudinal axis;a screw auger positioned within the barrel interior, wherein the screw auger is substantially concentric with the barrel and is operable to rotate and transmit a material along the length of the barrel, wherein the screw auger includes a bore also substantially aligned with the longitudinal axis;a heating element in thermal communication with said barrel;an injection chamber;a channel, wherein the channel provides fluid communication between the injection chamber and the barrel;a plunger substantially aligned for movement along the longitudinal axis and with the bore and being substantially coaxial with said screw auger, wherein said plunger rotates with the rotation of the screw auger;an injection tube wherein the injection tube is in fluid communication with the injection chamber, and wherein the injection tube is located adjacent the plunger; anda temperature sensor in communication with one of the barrel, the injection chamber, and the injection tube;a coolant reservoir in communication with one of the barrel, the ...

An adhesive dispensing system is configured to automatically reduce the temperature of adhesive material to reduce degradation of the adhesive caused by holding the adhesive at an application temperature during periods of low throughput. To this end, a controller of the system operates a heater unit to maintain a unit set point temperature to heat and melt adhesive until a set threshold time has elapsed since the most recent supply of adhesive to the system by a fill system. Once the time elapsed since the most recent supply of adhesive exceeds the set threshold time, the heater unit is reduced in temperature to reduce the temperature of adhesive. This reduction is temperature is large enough to minimize degradation and outgassing but small enough to enable rapid warm-up times after a new supply of adhesive occurs. 1. An adhesive dispensing system , comprising:a heater unit adapted to melt and heat an adhesive to an application temperature;a level sensor for detecting a level of adhesive remaining for melting and heating by said heater unit;a fill system operative to supply the adhesive to said heater unit;a controller configured to actuate said fill system to supply the adhesive when said level sensor detects that the level of adhesive is below a refill threshold, the controller also configured to operate said heater unit to maintain a unit set point temperature that is sufficient to melt and heat the adhesive to the application temperature; anda timer operatively coupled to said controller and configured to track an elapsed time since the most recent actuation of said fill system, such that said controller continues to operate said heater unit while reducing the temperature of said heater unit if the elapsed time tracked by said timer exceeds a first set threshold time.2.

METHOD AND DEVICE FOR REPAIRING PLYWOOD PANEL DEFECTS

Номер: US20150202790A1
Автор: Bertus Barry, Patterson Allan
Принадлежит:

The present invention is directed to a synthetic patch application method and device in which synthetic patching material is kept cool while it is mixed in a static mixing tube, prior to application to plywood panels. The synthetic patching material is kept cool by means of a removable cooling jacket that is installed to remove the exothermic heat of reaction generated during the mixing process. The cooling jacket is removable and reusable, and may be easily dismounted and remounted when replacement, adjustment, or repair of the static mixing tube is necessary. The present invention thus provides an improved method of repairing plywood panels using thermosetting resin-based synthetic patching materials in which waste is minimized and time between replacement of static mixing tubes is significantly extended. 1. A method for continuously applying polymeric patching material to repair plywood panel defects after mixing heated resin and catalyst components in a static mixing tube to form the patching material , comprising extending the operating life of the static mixing tube by cooling the mixing tube to increase the setting time of the patching material so that the patching material either does not set , solidify , or block the mixing tube or need to be discharged during periods of interruption or non-use of the continuous plywood defect repair method.2. The method of wherein the operating life of the static mixing tube is extended by delaying the setting time of the patching material by 5 to 10 times as long as it would be in an uncooled static mixing tube.3.
