Abstract

Hydraulically coupled injection nozzles (5,28) and return nozzles (15,38) are used in an apparatus for producing a reaction mixture of fluid components forming foam or a solid material. These nozzles (5,15,28,38) comprise control pins (11,20,34,43) which are designed to be inserted into the openings (6,17,29,40) of the nozzles (5,15,28,38). The ratio between the distances which the control pins (11,20,34,43) travel outside and inside the orifices (6,17,29,40) is adjusted in such a way that, when the nozzles (5,15,28,38) are switched from "mixing" to "circulation" or vice versa, there is a time interval during which all the nozzles (5,15,28,38) are closed.
