Impinging mixer

Impinging mixers combine and disperse resins within each other, and are often used in reaction injection molding (RIM).

High velocity results in a turbulent rather than a laminar flow.

[1][2] Thermosetting plastics cure by a chemical reaction between two resins.

The resins must be mixed immediately before they are injected into a mold.

As soon as the mixing chamber is full, a piston immediately pushes the mixed resin into the mold, leaving very little mixed resin curing outside the mold.
