Maintenance & Service

7 Most Common Polyurethane Machine Faults

From low pressure to ratio drift, temperature alarms to sticking heads: the faults we see most in the field and first checks.

  1. Low injector pressure: A clogged filter, pump wear or injector setting. Check the filters first.
  2. Ratio drift: Changes in material temperature or viscosity, or flowmeter calibration.
  3. Sticking head: Reacted material in the head, low hydraulic pressure or a worn piston.
  4. Temperature alarm: A heater, thermostat or sensor fault, or the tank agitator not running.
  5. Level error: A dirty level sensor or a faulty feed pump.
  6. Chemicals in the hydraulic oil: Worn head seals; an overhaul is needed.
  7. Cabinet / HMI errors: A loose connection, a faulty board or a software problem.

When should you call service?

If the problem persists after basic checks, carrying on with production risks faulty parts and bigger damage. Use our service form to tell us your machine’s brand, model and symptoms; add a photo or video if you can.
