Metering and Dispensing - Edge-Sweets Company

Urethane Dispensing

ESCO offers a complete range of low pressure and high-pressure polyurethane mixing and polyurethane dispensing solutions, from laboratory scale prototype units to high volume production machines.

ESCO has offered quality products since 1887. With its 1985 merger with Martin Sweets Company (the oldest company in the USA offering polyurethane processing and dispensing equipment), ESCO gained the ability to offer the very best solutions for polyurethane mixing, processing and manufacturing. Let us use our solution-based engineering to design and build just the right equipment for you.

Elastomers

ESCO is an industry leader in processing today’s technologically advanced elastomer systems. ESCO’s full line of polyurethane equipment will satisfy needs from those of the small polyurethane manufacturer to those of the high volume fully automated producer of polyurethane products. From fork truck wheels and hammers to bowling balls, golf balls, and skate wheels, ESCO equipment produces parts that are used daily in work and play. With years of industry experience, ESCO offers dynamic low pressure polyurethane mixing solutions that utilize today’s latest technologies. polyurethane Metering and polyurethane mixing equipment is complimented by all components necessary to process polyurethane elastomers, including solid curative melters and vacuum degassers. Keep ESCO in mind for your unique custom design needs.

Filled Systems

Today’s demanding and ever-changing world of polyurethane mixing chemistry presents unique challenges to processing. There are many chemical systems that contain fillers that require the use of specialized processing equipment; most fillers are abrasive and cannot be processed using equipment not specifically designed for the application. ESCO offers patented solutions to process difficult filled systems. Specifically, ESCO’s patented Filler Fed Head (FFH) allows for the addition of solid fillers directly at the mix head, which eliminates the need for pre-mixing and agitation to keep fillers in suspension. ESCO has had the privilege of designing equipment that meters and mixes a polyurethane chemical system that is used in the construction of Navy vessels for the US Government. ESCO has been recognized by the contractors to the US Government as the industry leader in technology to meter and mix difficult chemical systems. Let ESCO solve your challenges in mix filled chemical systems.

High Pressure Mixing and Dispensing

ESCO carries a line of high-pressure impingement polyurethane mixing equipment and has designed manufacturing systems for the global automotive, electrical, appliance, and the construction industries. ESCO will listen to your manufacturing requirements and offer a solution combining your company’s product experience with the knowledge and experience of ESCO. Unlike what one might think, high pressure does not mean material dispensed at a high pressure; rather, high pressure metering and mixing refers to the method of mixing which requires the chemicals to be impinged together at high pressure. The impingement dissipates the pressure and the material flows out of the mix head at relatively low pressure. The impingement mix head is self-cleaning and requires no solvent flushing. ESCO high-pressure laboratory machines are currently in use in the labs of most polyurethane chemical suppliers. Together we can compete globally by producing products with technologically advanced equipment, using the most cost-effective methods.

Low Pressure Polyurethane Mixing and Dispensing

ESCO’s success in low pressure Polyurethane metering and dispensing can be attributed to mix head design and technology. Martin Sweets Company was the first producer of polyurethane processing equipment in the US. Since joining with Edge in 1985, ESCO has emerged as one of the leading suppliers of low-pressure polyurethane dynamic mix heads for the polyurethane industry. When you look at an ESCO polyurethane mix head, you know our equipment has been manufactured to quality specifications. Our engineering staff has paid close attention in designing a mix head built to last and easy to maintain. The dynamic mix head offerings include polyurethane mix heads that process low temperature systems as well as high temperature cast elastomer systems. Let ESCO work with you to produce the best processing solution for your manufacturing needs.

No Flush Mixing and Dispensing

In today’s environmentally correct society, the use of solvents to clean a mix head can be viewed as a deterrent in some processes. ESCO has developed a solventless low-pressure dynamic mix head. Since some chemical systems cannot be mixed properly with a solvent less high pressure impingement mix head, ESCO’s low pressure solventless mix head may be the answer for your processing application. Let ESCO work with you to determine if the solvent less dynamic mix head is right mixing equipment for your process application.
