PPG introduces mixer for high-volume chemical mixing of SEMKIT packages

A new SEMCO mixer by PPG Industries offers high-volume automated, precision mixing of multi-component adhesives, sealants and other chemicals in SEMKIT packages, reducing operator fatigue, enhancing quality and improving productivity. Designed for both barrier-style and injection-style Semkit cartridges, the Semco 1088 mixer ensures homogeneous chemical distribution with one-touch adjustment for the five most common Semkit package configurations used in the aerospace industry. In addition, the mixer is the first in the Semco packaging and application systems line by PPG that can automatically inject and evenly distribute the correct amount of catalyst into a prefilled injection-style Semkit package, ensuring that the material meets application and performance requirements. According to Dillon Desai, PPG Aerospace global market development manager for packaging, the new mixer is designed for today’s high-volume aircraft production and maintenance environments for mixing Semkit packages with ease, efficiency and repeatability.
