Abstract: An apparatus for the production of a reactive flowable mixture includes a mixing block which includes at least one first passage for at least one first component of the mixture, a second passage for another component of the mixture and a collection passage for the mixture. At least one static mixing element is located in the collection passage where the second passage opens into the collection passage to receive the second component therein.

Abstract: The method for the manufacture of a foamed polymer body from a mold composition is carried out using a shaping tool in which a cross-linking reaction and a formation of foam bubbles takes place simultaneously. Before a processing of the mold composition, the two separately held components (A, B) from which the composition is made each includes partial means for the carrying out of the cross-linking reaction and which differ by these partial means. The two components (A, B) are transported separately in two flows under elevated pressure at the start of the preparation. In this process, both components, or only one of the components, are impregnated with a foaming agent (C). The two flows are then combined under still elevated pressure and are mixed in this process. Finally, the reactive mixture formed by mixing is continuously extruded while lowering the pressure or is injected in a metered manner into a cavity of the shaping tool.

Abstract: The static mixer contains precision cast elements (1) which are arranged along a central axis (10) and which in each case have a reinforcement region (4) at their circumference which extends over the entire circumference. These cast elements (1) are assembled with intermediate elements (2) to form a cylindrical body. Joint locations between the elements (1, 2) form surfaces (40a, 40b, 20a, 20b) which stand transversely to the central axis. For each isolated cast element, in a rotation about its central axis the joint locations are accessible to machining tools for a subsequent machining—in particular for a grinding or turning. As a result of the subsequent machining a predetermined total length (L) of the mixer in the direction of the central axis can be precisely achieved.

Abstract: The module is a part of a static mixer which is provided for a plastic, flowable, composition to be mixed which is critical with respect to the dwell time. The apparatus comprises a tubular housing in which arms are arranged. The arms are inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis of the housing; they cross each other substantially on a straight line perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The module comprises a sleeve which can be pushed into the housing. The inner wall of the apparatus which conducts the composition being mixed is formed by the inner sides of the sleeves. The arms are formed in the shape of rods each having a tip directed opposite to the direction of movement of the mixing mass and a base fastened to the inner side of the sleeve. Each tip forms an intermediate space with respect to the inner wall of the apparatus.
