Proceed as follows to check the valve balls: 

a)  Disconnect the machine from the power supply and close both inlet ball valves and the 

supply system to the transfer pumps. 

b)  Depressurise the metering pump and remove the corresponding valve ball. 

c)  The  loss  from  the  valve  ball  is  usually  caused  by  foreign  particles  that  prevent  the 

perfect coupling of the ball with the ball seat. Clean the ball and the seat and make sure 
there  are  no  faults  from  knocks,  marks  or scratches  to  the  seat  or  the  ball.  If  cleaning 
fails to resolve the problem or any fault is observed, replace the seat and the ball. 

2. 

Decompensated Pressures 

Pressures  are  decompensated  when  there  is  an  obstruction  in  the  hose  or  in  the  gun  that 
prevents  one  of  the  components  from  leaving  freely  through  the  gun  chamber  when  it  is 
projected, or when a problem in the pumping system prevents one of the components reaching 
the gun in the required amount.  

It  is  relatively  easy  to  identify  which  component  is  problematic  if  we  bear  in  mind  that  the 
chemical  components  used  in  the  polyurethane  foaming  are  of  a  different  color.  By  observing 
the color of the material that leaves the gun, we can determine which component is missing. 

To  determine  whether  the  decompensation  is  caused  as  a  result  of  an  obstruction  or  as  a 
consequence  of a  problem  in  the  pumping  system,  project  with the  gun,  observe  the  pressure 
indicated  on  the  corresponding  pressure  gage  to  the  missing  component  and  compare  it  with 
the  pressure  indicated  by  the  gage  to  the  other  component:  if  the  pressure  of  the  missing 
component is higher, the decompensation is the result of an obstruction, if the pressure is lower, 
the decompensation is the consequence of a problem in the pumping system. 

3. 

Cavitation 

Cavitation  occurs  when  the  metering  pump  requires  a  larger  volume  of  material  than  that 
supplied by the feeding system, causing the formation of a vacuum in the inlet of the metering 
pump. The causes of cavitation are the following: 

a)  The  transfer  pump  fails  to  supply  the  necessary  volume.  The  problem  might  be  in  the 

pump  not  meeting  the  required  specifications,  in  the  lack  of  air  supply  to  the  pump  or 
that the pump is faulty. A pump is recommended with a ratio of 2:1 for transferring the 
Isocyanate and a supply hose with an interior diameter of at least 20 mm (¾ in). 

b)  High viscosity. The polyurethane foaming systems normally require a minimum transfer 

temperature of 12º C (55 F); at lower temperatures, the product increases its viscosity, 
making  the  pumping  more  difficult.  When  the  ambient  conditions  prevent  the  products 
from  being  maintained  at  a  minimum  temperature  of  12º  C  (55  F)  auxiliary  heating 
elements must be used to condition the products as the minimum temperature required 
for the transfer. 

c)  The product inlet filter is obstructed (see Maintenance). 

d)  The  inlet  valve  ball  has  leaks  as  a  result  of  wear  or  possible  faults  in  the  ball  or  the 

closing surface of the seat, which means that part of the material supplied returns to the 
supply  tank  and  that  the  metering  pump  supplies  a  smaller  volume  of  material  in  the 
discharge cycle, causing an incorrect ratio. 

4. 

Fault in the Reversing Switch 

The  metering  pump  system  has  a  plate  that  activates  the  reversing  switches  to  carry  out  the 
change of direction. The most common cause of the fault is the deformation of the plate or the 
entry of a foreign body preventing the plate from making contact with the micros. 

A fault in the movement of the directional valve will cause the activation plate to pass the micro 
and not make the change of direction. Proceed as follows to solve this problem:
