Product overviewThe Comet and Hybrid metering machine series from KraussMaffei provide high-performance dosing solutions for processing filled PUR systems. Both systems deliver constant process parameters, modern control technology and high adaptability for demanding applications involving fillers premixed in polyol and/or isocyanate (short glass fibres, melamine, barium sulphate, expandable graphite, etc.). Comet uses servo-hydraulically controlled pistons while the Hybrid combines piston and pump technology for maximum flexibility.
Key capabilities- Engineered for filled PUR formulations and abrasive fillers
- Precise metering and control for consistent process parameters
- Modular design for configurable customer-specific setups
Comet (piston metering)The Comet series is a piston metering system (servo-hydraulic or electric) optimized for abrasive and highly filled formulations. It ensures stable shot weight and reproducible process behaviour over long production runs.
- Stable process parameters with filled systems
- Servo-hydraulic piston drive for high dosing accuracy
- Proven tank concept for reliable material supply
- Suitable for high-temperature and heavily filled formulations
Hybrid (pump + piston combination)The Hybrid series combines pump metering for isocyanate with piston metering for polyol or similar components. This combination yields high throughput with precise delivery rates and shot weights.
- Pump metering for isocyanate and piston metering for polyol
- Precise control technology for superior part quality
- High production and process reliability
- Accurate delivery rates and shot weight control
Use cases and industriesSuitable for automotive, commercial vehicle, medical technology, insulation and aerospace sectors where components require high strength, flame retardancy or filled-material functionalities.
