Processing of liquid silicone rubber (LSR) and one-component solid silicone
The BOY sprueless nozzle, among other things, increase the number of possible LSR applications including the production of seals and baby bottle nipples. BOY quotations for LSR applications include dosing and pump units.
Applications: Moulded technical parts, seals, spark plugs, anode caps, baby bottle nipples
- Cylinder temperature-is controlled by a heating cooling fluid via external control unit.
- Hydraulically actuated needle shut-off nozzle. Open nozzle is optional.
- Non-return valve with reduced stroke (optional).
- Material feed via separate mixing pump connected to the injection cylinder.
- Mould temperature control via control loops in the machine (electrical heating elements are part of the mould).
Details for the processing of one-component silicone using stuffer unit you can find in our brochure "Elastomer processing".
