Fluid Research^® Products
Precision Dispense Systems for Multi-Component Materials

Fluid Research Meter, Mix and Dispense systems are designed for precision dispensing applications in a variety of production environments. Durable Progressive Cavity pumps provide accurate simultaneous metering of up to 4 different components. Systems provide programmable ratio, dispense volume and flow rate for flexible manufacturing systems. The systems can be configured to process multi-component materials from 1 to 1,500,000 centipoise.

PluraShot® Dispense Systems:

The PluraShot^® Dispense System is a compact, precision dispense system for two-component, low- flow applications. The system accommodates up to 20:1 material ratios and shot sizes from 1.2cc to continuous flow. The on-board 2-gallon tanks for each component provide adequate material supply with a very small footprint. Up to 15 unique dispense routines can be preprogrammed and stored in the system. The PluraShot^® is excellent for tabletop production applications or prototype work. The dispense system includes the Fluid Research^® patented progressing cavity pump technology and the Stat-A-Seal^® dispense head with “Snuff Back” for long life and drip-free dispensing.

Advantage II Series Dispense Systems:

The Advantage Series dispense systems store up to 40 unique dispense routines. The system is easily programmed from the LCD control pad for unique material ratios, dispense volumes and flow rates. These systems are frequently specified in applications that require low maintenance, long life and high accuracy. Progressing cavity pump technology provides reliable dispensing of unfilled and filled materials. Systems can be configured to include an MMU (Material Management Unit), heated dispense routines and vacuum degas options. The Automation interface option allows remote start and stop functions. The Advantage II Series dispense systems are well suited to flexible manufacturing applications that require batch processing with various dispense routines.

 Material Management Units (MMU):

The Fluid Research^® MMU is designed to provide thorough material preparation prior to dispensing. The key to successful dispensing is often good material preparation. The MMU can be configured to include a combination of conventional Stainless Steel storage containers, drum ram technology, transfer pump technology or Bulk Feed based upon the specific dispensing application. Material preparation may require any combination of agitation, programmable heat, vacuum degas, or material re-circulation depending upon the material and application being processed. The Fluid Research MMU is frequently used for continuous material processing in automated applications for critical high-volume applications.

Signature Series Dispense Systems:

The Fluid Research Signature Series dispense systems provide state of the art dispensing technology for multipart materials. These systems can accommodate up to 4 component materials. The system utilizes an industrial computer with a Windows operating environment to provide the ultimate in flexible dispensing technology. The Signature Series dispense system is well suited to production lines that require multiple dispense programs. The system is capable of storing up to 50 unique dispense routines and continuously changing via automated RS232 communications or operator input. Options include touch screen interface, bar code interface, automation interface and custom software. The Fluid Research system can be connected to the facility Local Area Network to provide data logging of material lot, usage and shot data for SPC purposes. The system can be configured to use an MMU (Material Management Unit) to accommodate automated bulk feed, drum rams or on board material storage. Vacuum Encapsulation options are also available.

Fluid Research Stat-A-Seal^® Dispense Valves:

The patented Fluid Research^® Stat-A-Seal^® dispense valve takes dispensing reliability to a new level. The dispense valve uses a unique design to eliminate dynamic seals. This significantly reduces required maintenance on the dispense head and is a must for dispensing of abrasive materials. Stat-A-Seal^® dispense valves are available for two and three component applications. The valve design minimizes material contact until dispensing into the static mixer. Manifolds are available to accommodate most standard disposable static mixer designs. Stat-A-Seal^® valves are available in Aluminum or Stainless Steel material with Teflon^® static seals to provide the ultimate in material compatibility. The Stat-A-Seal® features an adjustable “Snuff Back” for drip free control.
