Dispense system suits automated applications

Sealant Equipment and Engineering's new Servo-Flo 488 two-component fixed-ratio meter-mix dispense system is ideal for automated or manual high-volume dispensing applications. The servomotor design is ideal for manufacturers wanting one system to dispense small, medium and large volumes of a mixed material for different-sized part batches or extruded bead sizes. The Servo-Flo 488 positive rod-displacement meter system can be used as a shot meter from as small as 3 to 1400cm3 and as a continuous-flow dispensing meter for infinite volume sizes of two-part epoxies, urethanes, silicones and acrylics.

The servomotor design provides fixed-rate or variable-flow rate profiling, which varies the dispense rate on-ratio as needed to optimise filling operations, meet bead-diameter requirements and automation tip-speeds.

Three levels of operator interface controls are available to handle any meter-mix production-dispensing application.

The system's operator-interface control quickly sets output flow rates and adjusts material-volume settings.

The automation or the operator can select different stored-flow and volume programs for different product-dispensing requirements.

The meter system accepts low- to high-viscosity materials and is supplied by pumps or pressure tanks.

The Servo-Flo 488 meter, control panel and supply can be floor-mounted, portable-cart mounted or enclosed in a cabinet with many dispensing features.
