Choosing the right injection system for closed molding can be confusing. That’s where MVP can help. We offer a full range of metering and mixing equipment specifically designed for closed molding processes. By using these systems, manufacturers have successfully injected into disposable bags, Light RTM molds and many reusable bags without over pressurizing the mold or the part.
MVP’s line of Closed Molding Equipment includes:
Magnum Venus Products (MVP) is the composite industry’s leading meter/mix equipment manufacturer and is equipped with specific expertise in closed mold processes.
Power, versatility, automation and unprecedented precision in two compact systems.
The Patriot™ Innovator Injection Systems were designed for injecting polyester, vinylester and methacrylate resins and catalyst at controlled pressures. The material mixing is done on demand at the injection head, and the catalyst ratio can be adjusted from 0.75% to 2.5%.
The fully pneumatic automated controls, controlling the number of strokes during injections, recirculation, and more makes the process easier and more efficient.

MVP Micro Pro Proportioner System
The IVx3 Valve streamlines the infusion process by integrating two process valves into a single compact device. Specifically designed as part of the Flex Molding Process, this valve is suitable for all closed molding applications such as Light RTM, Infusion, Reusable bags.
The two position turbo autosprue is another autovalve that MVP offers for your closed mold solutions. It allows you to get rid of a lot of waste, such as hoses, less material waste, and some disposables in the closed mold process. This is a very simple valve to use in the closed mold processes and can connect up to any of the MVP injection systems. This will connect directly up to a universal insert in a LRTM mold, Disposable Bag, or Reusable Bag. This is an easy plug and play closed mold accessory.
