A new metering system is available from this company. The hydraulic fixed ratio (HFR™) metering system reportedly can improve throughput and reduce waste and rework in adhesive and sealant dispense applications. The systems can be used in a range of industries, including insulated glass, medical technology, transportation, and composites.
The meter, mix and dispense system reportedly is capable of processing multiple sealant and adhesive materials. The metering system achieves accurate ratios and volumes. As the system dispenses material, it can reportedly automatically fine tune and adjust material flows and pressures to achieve a consistent bead. As a result, users waste less material, reducing rework time and material costs. The system’s horizontal pumps can be rebuilt directly at customers’ facilities, eliminating rebuilds and the need for backup pumps, resulting in less downtime, reduced maintenance costs, and a smaller parts inventory, leading to a lower total cost of ownership.
