Abstract: The invention concerns a method and device for filling at least one casting mould (10) with a castable, liquid compound, in particular casting resin. In order to decrease the mould-occupation time considerably, the reactivity of the casting compound is firstly increased at least during the filling phase for the at least one casting mould (10) by the supply of energy and is then decreased by the removal of energy to a value at which the casting compound has a relatively long service life. Heat exchanges (7) are proposed as means for heating and, if necessary, cooling the casting compound.

Abstract: A casting system for the processing of casting resin. From evacuatable storage containers casting resin components are fed to pump cylinders. The movement of the pump cylinders is synchronized through a mechanical connection. The drive of the pistons in the pump cylinders occurs by means of driving fluids which approximately are under the same pressure as the resin components. Leakages across the pistons are avoided due to the pressure equality on both sides of the pistons even when, in consideration of abrasive filler materials, relatively large gaps must be provided between the pistons and their cylinders.

Abstract: An apparatus for mixing and degassing components of synthetic resins includes an evacuatable, cylindrical, downwardly tapering container, a worm conveyor centrally, rotatably supported in the container and a drive mechanism therefor, a cylindrical guide tube closely surrounding the worm conveyor, agitating arms secured to the lower end of the worm conveyor and extending outwardly and upwardly adjacent the walls of the container, and collecting arms secured to the lower end of the guide tube and extending outwardly and upwardly adjacent the agitating arms, each collecting arm having a collecting opening therein which faces opposite the direction of rotation of the agitating arms and is in communication with the interior of the guide tube. Each collecting arm preferably has a plurality of upright baffle members mounted thereon.

Abstract: Apparatus for the high-speed mixing and degasification of viscous materials, especially synthetic resins with and without fillers, wherein two or more reactive components are mixed in an upright container having a downwardly converging portion extending over the lower one third of the vessel, by mixing vanes rotated along the frustoconical wall and carried by a worm or screw extending vertically through a sleeve or mixing tube orbited by the vanes. The screw carries the material to be mixed continuously upwardly through the tube and dispenses it along a downwardly and outwardly diverging apron in a thin layer. The continuous path is heated in sections and the vessel is evacuated.
