20. A mixing head, comprising:
-
a housing having a mixing chamber with an outlet for discharge of a reaction mixture;
a control and/or cleaning piston received in the housing for movement between a retracted lower position away from the outlet and an upper position in which a shot amount of the reaction mixture is discharged from the mixing chamber through the outlet;
a cover for placement onto the housing; and
a shot counting apparatus for determining a number of shots, said shot counting apparatus including a detector integrated in the cover and rendered operative in response to a movement of the control and/or cleaning piston from the lower position to the upper position to generate a signal, a counter receiving the signal from the detector and increasing the number of shots by 1 in response to the signal of the detector, and a non-volatile memory for storing the number of shots. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22)
