Compact Metering Pump Helps Adhesive Manufacturer Out of a Sticky Situation
The company discovered the 504S metering pump from Watson-Marlow Bredel, Wilmington, Mass., which made life easier.
Then the company discovered the 504S metering pump from Watson-Marlow Bredel, Wilmington, Mass. The compact pump came complete with a built-in controller with six pump heads. The pump could replace six separate and dedicated gear pumps, and offer 100-percent synchronized flow rates. The adhesive-processing plant switched to the new pump to meter its adhesive. MarpreneĀ® tubing was chosen to provide the flow rates needed, as well as for the chemical resistance needed for the aqueous-based adhesive. This gave the company the capability to change product runs with no downtime, and offered 100-percent cleanability.
