CarDio™ system in operation , featuring the unique Cannon Patented gatebar .
SINCE IT ' S INTRODUCTION OVER 25 YEARS AGO , CARDIO™ HAS LONG BEEN RECOGNISED AS THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO PRODUCE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY , FILLED FOAMS , ESPECIALLY CALCIUM CARBONATE AND MELAMINE USING CARBON DIOXIDE AS AUXILIARY BLOWING AGENT .
The Cannon Viking system remains incredibly popular for companies looking to avoid the use of Methylene Chloride in their production and is becoming increasingly popular with customers who wish to produce large volumes of filled foams on a CO₂ system . The unique design of the Cannon Viking Airless Gatebar ensures troublefree processing of fillers such as Calcium Carbonate and Melamine . Whereas competitor ' s systems simply block up because they cannot handle the increased particle sizes associated with the production of filled foams , the Cannon Viking CarDio™ system featuring the unique Airless Gatebar can handle and process particle sizes in excess of 120 microns . The cost of chemicals is obviously the largest outlay for our customers and the use of fillers allows them to save on their most precious commodity . More and more customers are coming to Cannon Viking , as they know that CarDio™ is the only system they can have the confidence in to process fillers trouble-free . In addition , with the advent of Melamine being used as a filler , in particular for it ' s fire retardant properties , more and more customers are turning to filled foams and need a system that can handle the larger particle sizes associated with filled foam production but simultaneously ensure high quality foams with an optimum yield and minimal waste . The Cannon Viking CarDio™ system ticks all of these boxes and at present we are working on three separate CarDio™ projects for large European foamers who have turned to Cannon Viking to install a CarDio™ system onto their existing continuous foaming machines .
As companies around the world begin to look at their environmental footprint and the use of Methylene Chloride is outlawed in more and more countries , the CarDio™ system ensures that our customers can fulfil all of their environmental obligations while maintain their production using fillers and achieve all necessary production and quality targets . To date , Cannon Viking have installed in excess of 70 CarDio™ installations around the world on not just Cannon Viking machines but competitor equipment also . We are confident that CarDio™ technology will continue to evolve and we also look forward to the CarDio™ system pushing more boundaries over the next 25 years !
