A polyurethane mixing skid designed for a polyurethane reaction process has been shipped after completing full factory integration and final inspection at GREATWALL MIXERS. The factory-integrated delivery enables significantly faster production start-up after the system arrives at the customer site.
| Process medium | Polyurethane prepolymer system using polyols and isocyanates |
|---|---|
| Design temperature | 120°C |
| Reaction temperature | 70–80°C |
| Maximum viscosity | 35,000 cP |
| Reaction type | Typical high-temperature, high-viscosity reaction system |
| Mixing element | Two-stage frame-type (plate-frame) impeller generating bulk circulation through large-diameter, close-clearance blades |
| Speed control | Variable-frequency drive |
| Viscosity range | 1 cP → 35,000 cP |
| Liquid level | Continuously rising |
| Mechanical seal | Single mechanical seal (high-temperature service), independently assembled and inspected at the factory |
The skid integrates the structural platform, valve assemblies, instrumentation, and control components. The automation package includes the control system, variable-frequency drive, and temperature monitoring. It displays operating speed and temperature and can transmit process signals to the customer’s Manufacturing Execution System (MES). After delivery, the skid will still require utility connections, control-system integration, electrical interlock verification, and operator training. Because the main equipment has already been assembled, integrated, and inspected before shipment, the required on-site installation and commissioning period can be substantially reduced — the delivery format does not eliminate all field work.
Before shipment, the impeller underwent static balancing, the mechanical seal was independently assembled and inspected, and the complete system passed its factory inspection with a factory inspection report issued. All product-contact surfaces were polished to Ra ≤ 0.4 μm. The customer therefore receives a fully integrated and verified system rather than individual components requiring extensive field assembly.
GREATWALL MIXERS equipment has been exported to more than 80 countries, and complete skid-based delivery is one of the company’s established delivery formats. Integrating and testing the system before shipment allows potential issues to be addressed at the factory, helping shorten commissioning schedules, reduce on-site risks, and minimize rework.
Factory-integrated and inspected for faster on-site start-up — skid-based delivery resolves on-site issues before they reach the field.
