Meter-mix-dispense systems are designed to dispense single- or multi-part fluids with the exact volumetric ratio specified by users or manufacturers. These systems can be developed step by step through an understanding of the fluid properties and the basics of the existing technologies. Every detail, such as the fluid chemistry, viscosity, specific gravity, filler existence, filler amount, mixing ratio, flow rate, and container size, is critical in specifying and building a robust meter-mix-dispense system.
These systems provide an alternative to manual mixing and application. With manual mixing, end users may face problems like under- or over-producing, leading to unused waste product. Although it is possible to achieve accurate mixing and metering with a manual process, it does not guarantee high-quality, uniform, and accurate ratio mixtures.
