Houston, Texas-February 1, 2019-The spray foam industry is growing at an alarming rate and is growing rapidly, and measures must be taken to maintain consistency and quality control. The Akurate Dynamics Delta CPS Proportioner machine can provide this solution and help prevent responsibility from falling on the shoulders of the owner.

Trey Cook, owner of Akurate Dynamics, has worked in the oil industry for many years, where he first discovered a similar but larger machine for oil fracturing. In 2010, the Army’s core engineers approached Cook to investigate the manufacture of spray foam processing equipment, which can hold the manufacturer’s proportional specifications.

Cook explained, "A few years later, we decided to go out and design a metering system that measures the proportions and maintains the proportions of the chemical process. We were inspired to use technologies similar to those used in the polyurethane industry." He continued to clarify most chemicals on the market How there is a ratio, many people falsely claim that the ratio is exactly 1:1.

Cook explained enthusiastically: "No system can fully achieve 1:1. A certain percentage is possible, but technically speaking, it is not perfect. Most of these systems are on the isocyanate side and polyol resins. A tolerance of 2% is set on the side. We designed a system that is always within 2%. Other systems on the market claim to be accurate, but they cannot prove that they reach that percentage."

Delta CPS Proportioner is a special machine because it can analyze flow rate and chemical composition. Cook said eagerly: "We use the software on the computer system to adjust one side of the chemistry to match the other side. These systems are called PLCs, which stand for programmable logic controllers, and they can basically perform mathematical operations. When it senses foam, it calculates the difference and sets one of the motors to match the other. Most importantly, this product is made in the United States."

Cook used his experience to make it feasible in the spray foam industry, he said: "This is not a new technology because it has been used in other industries, but it is new to the spray foam industry. Delta The CPS proportioner has been used for many different purposes, including: military bases, highway repairs, home installations, and roof systems. It is suitable for anything that uses a two-component system, which requires strict ratios."

The machine will give companies confidence in their mixing process. It not only ensures that the job is accurate, but also updates the report every two and a half seconds, allowing them to view the history of the entire job. They can prove their percentage during work. This machine also helps to eliminate the operator’s responsibility, as the percentage is tracked during work. Cook also emphasized, "If the work is not done in proportion, the machine has the ability to stop the process."

Trey Cook said: "The spray foam industry is booming and people are increasingly accepting new technologies. We have seen some competitors copy the products we produce, and we actually think this is a good thing. We all know the benefits of spray foam. , But as the industry develops, we need to emphasize the importance of this new technology. If owners can see that it helps solve liability issues, then acceptance will continue to grow." •
