Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating mixed and degassed resin. Resin is added to, and stored in, a feed tank where air is forced into the resin from the bottom of the tank to mix the resin. The resin is drawn into a hold tank through a feed-to-hold tank tube by creating a vacuum within the hold tank. Resin flows out of the tube and onto a rotating plate located within the hold tank. The rotating plate provides a surface area for degassing the resin and further directs the resin to an inner surface of the hold tank which provides additional surface area for degassing the resin. A hold tank proximity sensor detects when the hold tank is full of resin and the vacuum is terminated. A low level proximity sensor detects the absence of resin in a dispense tank and a crossover valve is opened, air pressure is applied to the hold tank and resin is forced from the hold tank and into the dispense tank via a hold-to-dispense tank tube. A high level proximity sensor detects the presence of resin in the dispense tank and the crossover valve is closed and the application of air pressure to the hold tank is terminated. A controller controls operation and the process which is continually repeated such that the dispense tank always has a ready supply of mixed and degassed resin.

Abstract translation: 一种用于产生混合脱气树脂的方法和装置。 将树脂加入并储存在进料罐中，其中空气从罐的底部被迫进入树脂以混合树脂。 通过在保持箱内产生真空将树脂通过供料罐管吸入保持箱中。 树脂从管中流出并流到位于储罐内的转盘上。 旋转板提供用于使树脂脱气的表面积，并进一步将树脂引导到保持罐的内表面，该表面提供用于使树脂脱气的附加表面积。 保持箱接近传感器检测保持箱何时装满树脂并终止真空。 低水平接近传感器检测出分配罐中不存在树脂，并且打开交换阀，将空气压力施加到保持箱，并且树脂通过保持分配罐被迫从保持箱并进入分配罐 管。 高级接近传感器检测分配罐中树脂的存在，并且交叉阀关闭，并且终止对保持箱施加空气压力。 控制器控制操作和持续重复的过程，使得分配器始终具有混合和脱气树脂的容易供应。
