The SONDERHOFF SMART with DM 50x Technology 

Innovative Mixing Head for the Highest Demands

Both SMART low-pressure mixing and dosing cells can optionally be configured with the precision mixing heads from the MK 800 series. To always ensure an optimal application process and availability, important machine parameters can be made measurable with the mixing head MK 800 PRO using integrated sensors:

• Positioning and rotational speed control of the agitator in the mixing chamber,
• Sensor-monitored axial position of the agitator shaft,
• Automatic stroke adjustment of the agitator with stepper motor and position monitoring,
• Automatic air loading for an optimum cell structure of the foam gasket,
• Sensor-monitored position of the dosing needle made of high-performance plastic in the dosing and recirculation valve.

Optimized Process Evaluation and Control

The use of the MK 800 mixing head technology in the SONDERHOFF SMART dosing cells also means that sensors can collect a large amount of data from the entire FIP (Formed-In-Place) application process. This enables seamless monitoring and compliance with critical process parameters. The automatic logging of all system, material and process data ensures that the production process is always transparent.

The automatic logging creates a comprehensive data pool that enables fast and precise data analysis for optimized process evaluation and control.

With the new generation of SONDERHOFF SMART dosing cells and their innovative technology, individual and at the same time efficient, highly productive and reliable manufacturing solutions can be implemented. To ensure consistently high machine availability, we offer a comprehensive service concept. The basic idea is preventive and planned maintenance.

Mixing and Dosing

The quality of the installed components and the technical equipment features of a mixing and dosing machine such as the SMART dosing cell set the standard for the best possible implementation of manufacturing quality. The high process reliability of the dosing cell is demonstrated in the repeat accuracy of the mixing head positioning over the part and thus the contour and dimensionally accurate material application.

Other examples of process reliability are the recirculation system that stabilizes the material pressure, the sophisticated mixing head cooling, temperature-controlled, double-walled material tanks, the automatic calibration of the dosing nozzle and much more.

Control and Monitoring

The control center of our mixing and dosing system is one of the most important components besides the mixing head. This is located in an air-conditioned control cabinet, in which other high-quality and durable control components from renowned manufacturers are installed in a protected manner.

The intuitive operation of the dosing system is carried out via the multifunctional MP 2 mobile panel or optionally with the CONTROL 2 multi-touch operating panel.

Moving and Automating

Coordinating the motion sequences of the mixing head is an art in itself, and at the same time the second decisive pillar for a reliably repeatable manufacturing process. On the one hand, this involves the precise guidance of the CNC-controlled mixing head above the part, and on the other hand, automated part handling, i.e. the feeding and removal of the parts to and from the dosing cell.

In addition, we offer various automation solutions for the SMART dosing cell.

Technical Service

The productivity and efficiency of the SMART dosing cell are largely determined by its reliable availability. That is why we ensure that fault-related downtimes and maintenance-related production interruptions are intelligently minimized.

For the technical service of our mixing and dosing systems, such as the SMART dosing cell, we offer our customers a wide choice of different service packages. They can be adapted to the customer's individual situation and include proactive in-house service, e.g. risk analyses, as well as competent on-site service and fast-reacting online service, keyword: remote collaboration. We thus support you in securely planning and implementing your production processes, as well as predictive maintenance.
