    Abstract: The invention concerns an apparatus (1) for the dispersion of an expansion gas even in supercritical conditions, e.g. carbon dioxide, in a reactive resin, of the kind in which a reaction chamber having an input (27) for gas and an input (37) for resin is provided. Advantageously, the chamber is a dispersion and containment chamber made into a casing (2) of predetermined high resistance susceptible to sustain high pressure and is divided into two sections (6,7) by a head (14) of a dispersion and mixing cylinder-piston group (4) in fluid communication between themselves by means of at least one pouring passage (31, 36, 32, 39) provided with a static mixer (38), motor means (3) being provided for piston (34) control of said mixing cylinder-piston group (4). The invention also concerns a process for the formation of a polyurethane foam starting with the dispersion of carbon dioxide, even supercritical, in a reactive resin in which at least one initial dispersion and mixing controlled phase of the two components is provided in a dispersion and containment chamber under pressure divided into two sections (6,7) by a head (14) of a cylinder-piston mixing group (4) in fluid communication between themselves by means of at least one pouring passage (31, 36, 32, 39) provided with a static mixer (38) and in which adduction, dispersion and mixing occurs under high pressure (at least greater than 75 bar).

    Abstract: A method and high-pressure mixing device for co-injection of polymeric reactive components, in particular for polyurethane and epoxy mixtures. The polymeric components are supplied in a common pressure chamber where they flow at a same pressure and in an unmixed state into a forwardly converging fore portion of the pressure chamber, and through a settable co-injection orifice to be co-injected, in the unmixed state, into a mixing chamber transversely oriented to the pressure chamber. The settable co-injection orifice consists in an elongated restriction that longitudinally extends on a side wall of the mixing chamber orthogonally oriented to an intersecting the forwardly converging fore portion of the pressure chamber; a first cleaning member and a second cleaning member are sequentially reciprocable in the pressure chamber to eject the remaining unmixed polymeric components, respectively in the mixing chamber to eject the remaining mixture, and stop elements are provided to set an open section of the elongated restriction, by adjustably stopping the fore end of the cleaning member for the mixing chamber, in respect to the same elongated restriction of the co-injection orifice.

    Abstract: A high-pressure self-cleaning mixing apparatus adapted to mix at least first and second reactive polyurethane-forming components and feed the mixed components to a mold is disclosed. The apparatus includes at least a mixing chamber, first and second feed passages, first and second recycle passages, and a cleaning member having at least first and second longitudinally-extending recycle grooves spaced from each other. The cleaning member is movable between an open position in which the first feed passage radially feeds the first polyurethane-forming component to the mixing chamber and a closed position in which the first longitudinally-extending recycle groove communicates the first feed passage with the first recycle passage to recycle the first polyurethane-forming component instead of feeding the first polyurethane-forming component to the mixing chamber. The second feed passage may be communicated with a longitudinally-extending passage of the cleaning member to permit the second polyurethane-forming component to be fed into the mixing chamber along an axial direction of the mixing chamber. A valve member may be provided to prevent the flow of the second polyurethane-forming component to the mixing chamber by recycling the second polyurethane-forming component to the second recycle passage. Spacing between the first and second grooves seals the first feed and recycle passages from the second feed and recycle passages.
