Mold Filling and Mold Dispensing Technology
Fluid Research® Corporation has designed machines to dispense virtually any amount of material. Our progressing cavity pump design ensures a specific amount of material is delivered every time.
We calibrate our machines to the amount of material dispensed per pump revolution; giving you the most accurate precision possible. When calibrating, our procedure takes into account a multitude of variables like specific gravity, temperature, viscosity, etc. Our equipment is equipped to automatically calculate a precise shot and shot time of the material to be dispensed. The flexibility of instant shot size and rate selection offers maximum operator efficiency, eliminating guesswork on amount of material to prepare. The continuous run option can also fill that much needed just in time emergency requirement.
While hand-mixing material for your molding applications appears as an inexpensive solution, material waste and clean-up can be costly and dangerous to both your staff environment. While calculating a return on investment, personnel hazard, uncertainty about mix ratios, and exposure to potentially hazardous compounds must be factored into the equation. Although difficult to quantify, it has become clear through our experiences that we provide the superior alternative.
Fluid Research’s Progressive Cavity Pumps are capable of true continuous flow operation, in a much smaller pump package with fewer moving parts. No more soft spots in the material during large mold making cycles - there is no difference between a 1 gal shot and a 20 gal shot - the pumps perform exactly the same.
All Fluid Research solutions deliver accurate, repeatable shots. Using proprietary continuous flowing progressing cavity pumps, micro-controlled servo drives, and modern computer hardware with custom proprietary software, Fluid Research delivers a positive displacement dispensing system which provides a seal-free design.
All Fluid Research Dispensing Solutions use a complete range of static mixers from every major manufacturer.
