Ultra FoamMix Cube
Description
The patented Ultra FoamMix® cube produces closedcell
foam from a variety of flowable sealants. It allows
manual or automated application to components
with repeatable performance, eliminating the need
for die-cut and foam-tape gaskets. The system mixes
sealant materials or adhesives with low-pressure inert
gas or plant air to produce a homogeneous mixture
that creates a closed-cell foam when dispensed. The
system processes and dispenses high-performance
materials, including silicones, urethanes and plastisols
at elevated or ambient temperatures. Because chemicals
are not used, material composition remains unchanged.
Foamed materials retain basic physical properties such
as temperature and chemical resistance.
In bonding applications the Ultra FoamMix system
dramatically improves the performance of most hot
melt materials and provides significant material savings
at the same time.
Straight-forward PLC controls use a user-friendly
touch-screen programmed to display and operate in
local languages. The controller can be cart mounted
so it can be positioned or moved as needed within the
10-meter cable length. And, the Ultra FoamMix PLC
integrates system components like VDK applicators
and material supply systems. A standard Ethernet
connection is used for communication to simplify
worldwide troubleshooting and technical support.
Gas content of foamed materials can be adjusted
to control mechanical properties such as material
durometer, compression set resistance and flexibility.

Advanced Application Technology
• Reduced adhesive consumption of up to 50 percent.
• Increased open time provides greater process flexibility.
• Faster set time for increased line speeds and production
rates. Labor is reduced and less warehouse space is
required for inventory.
• Volumetric increase for greater gap filing capabilities.
• Improved wetting increases the ability to bond
impervious surfaces and enhances application
versatility.
• Lower heat density helps reduce substrate heat damage
while improving operator safety.
• Reduced sagging or running for uniform adhesive
thickness.
• Increased penetration creates stronger bonds and
results in fewer rejects.
