Cannon A-Compact
The world's best-selling high-pressure dosing unit for reactive polymers. Simple and versatile, it combines performance, efficiency and reliability for a first-class finished part.
Designed with foam producers in mind
Cannon developed the A-Compact around the needs of polyurethane foam producers: it meters components precisely and gives you superior control over the process.
What it brings to your production
Closed-loop control
Compares actual output and ratio with the set values in real time and corrects them to keep them stable.
Weekend cycle
Keeps chemicals homogeneous and at temperature during downtime, alternating recirculation with timed stops.
Eco mode
Stops the motors outside working cycles to save energy.
Easy to use
Less time between setup and the start of production.
Full accessibility
Every component can be reached, making cleaning and maintenance easier.
Several configurations
Versions for pentane (A-Compact Penta), fillers (HF) and high temperature up to 120 °C (HT).
Key data
| Technology | High-pressure metering and mixing |
|---|---|
| Components | Polyol + isocyanate (optional color unit and additives) |
| Control | Closed-loop output and mix ratio |
| Standard version (FC) | Fixed-displacement axial piston pumps; output is set by frequency drives. Outputs from 10 to 200 kg/min |
| HF version | Piston metering on the polyol side for abrasive mineral or synthetic fillers, up to 200 bar with no wear issues |
| Penta version | For flammable blowing agents (pentane, cyclopentane, isobutane), with ATEX safety equipment |
| HT version | High-temperature processing, up to 120 °C |
| Programming | Independent shot programs, each setting output, mix ratio and total shot weight (not time) |
| Typical applications | Molded rigid and flexible foam, integral skin, insulation, technical parts |
Indicative data. The final configuration depends on the application and is defined by Cannon and Pur2Mix for each project.
Overhauled and upgraded A-Compact 40 (2002)
We have an A-Compact 40 available, overhauled and upgraded in our workshop (new PLC, touchscreen and frequency drives), with an output of 125 to 500 g/s. A 2019 unit is coming soon.
