Machine for producing moldings from chemical components which react quickly with one another

Claim 1

An apparatus for producing moldings from chemical components which react quickly with one another, comprising a mold having an associated mixing chamber for reaction components which, at its outlet end, communicates with a cavity in said mold, means for introducing the said chemical components into the mixing chamber and a remixing system arranged between the mixing chamber and the mold cavity and adapted to homogenize the reaction mixture; said remixing system comprising a distributing channel with which a collecting channel is associated disposed in each half of the mold and leading from the mixing chamber portion in each half of the mold, and one or more mixing channels extending from each distributing channel to its associated collecting channel, the mixing channels of each mold half being so arranged that they cross over the mixing channels of the other mold half and being so constructed that the cross sections of the mixing channels of one mold half decrease from their distributing channel to their collecting channel while the cross-sections of the mixing channels of the opposite mold half increase from their distributing channel to their collecting channel; the assemblage being so constructed that the dividing plane dividing the mold into halves extends through the mixing chamber and the remixing system.
