Abstract: The instant invention is directed to a process for filling a cavity with a flowable reaction mixture through an inlet opening located at the bottom of the cavity. The process broadly comprises injecting a relatively small amount of reaction mixture into the cavity to cover the inlet opening with reaction mixture. The injection process is then briefly interrupted. Thereafter, the remaining amount of reaction mixture is injected into the cavity. The invention also relates to apparatus useful in performing the above-described process.

Abstract: The instant invention broadly relates to a process and apparatus for filling a cavity with a reactive mixture. More particularly, the invention relates to a process for filling cavities, particularly mold cavities, with a reactive, flowable mixture which preferably forms foam, wherein at least two reaction components are brought into a mixing zone, where they are mixed and then brought into the cavity, the improvement wherein at the beginning of the filling process, during a limited time interval, the reaction mixture is fed into the cavity under low flow velocity until the mixture has reached a certain level in the cavity, and subsequently the remaining mixture to be injected, is fed in under increased flow velocity.
