Dispensing: Profit or Chaos?
Dispensing systems are central to various industries, but are they driving profits or just creating chaos? Let’s explore some key aspects of automated dispensing and what to discuss with your solutions provider for an efficient application.
Key Considerations for Dispensing Applications
Dispensing systems handle a wide range of fluids such as grease, silicone, RTV, potting compounds, and more across numerous industries. Our experience over the past six years has taught us valuable lessons about using these systems effectively. Here are some critical elements to consider for your next dispensing project:
Choosing the Right Pressure
The viscosity of the material, often measured in centipoises, determines the pressure needed to dispense it. Low-viscosity fluids like Cyanoacrylate (Super Glue) may require only 5-10 PSI. In contrast, high-viscosity materials like flange sealant (RTV) could need 2000 PSI or more. While the exact pressure varies, it's crucial not to mix components designed for different pressure levels?"a common error we see frequently.
Time-Pressure vs. Positive Displacement
Your application’s accuracy demands will guide your equipment choice and dispensing method. For applications where absolute consistency isn't critical, time-pressure is a simple and effective method. This involves opening a valve for a specific duration to dispense fluid at a set pressure. With a consistent setup, this approach can yield surprisingly repeatable results. It works well for applications involving large volumes of material like running beads or spraying glues.
For applications requiring precise amounts of fluid, positive displacement (PD) methods are more suitable. PD involves filling a chamber with the fluid and using controlled force to move it to the target area. This approach isolates the main supply and delivers fluid in specific packets, allowing for precise volume control tailored to your application’s needs.
Incorporating Flow Meters
In critical processes or by customer requirement, verifying the dispensed fluid's exact volume may be necessary. Flow meters translate fluid flow into electrical output signals and come in various types such as Coriolis, positive displacement, turbine, ultrasonic, and Doppler. The ideal meter depends on several factors, including volume, flow type, and viscosity.
