Temperature & Viscosity Control for Industrial Fluid Dispensing Applications
About us
While it may not be immediately apparent, uncontrolled viscosity is causing inconsistencies in your dispensing process, leading to performance-related issues with your material. Viscosity, the fluid's resistance to flow, is affected by variables like changing temperatures, resulting in variations in the quality of your dispensed material. Maintaining the correct viscosity is critical for achieving consistent, quality results. We automate viscosity measurement and control, and precisely control temperature (within +/- 1℉) at the point of dispense. This approach neutralizes fluctuating variables that affect viscosity, preserving the precise specifications outlined by your material supplier. Such precision is particularly crucial in automated robotic processes marked by repetitive motions. Our expertise extends across diverse applications, including automotive finishing, sealants & adhesives, coil coating, printing, and packaging. Contact us to speak directly with one of our experts, who can help you achieve the level of process control necessary for optimized results.

Is your paint process still manually measuring and controlling viscosity?
If you're using a Zahn cup on your paint line, it's time to consider an easy way to automate this part of your process. Our step-by-step infographic reveals a simple, cost-effective, and precise method for measuring and automatically adjusting viscosity in real-time at the tank. An automated system provides seamless data collection and ensures consistent quality shift after shift. #Automation #PaintLine #Efficiency #QualityControl #datadriven

Manually measuring viscosity is outdated and unreliable. Today, automation offers a far more accurate and consistent solution. Efflux cups, traditionally used for measuring paint viscosity, rely on operator techniques and stopwatch timing, leading to inconsistent readings and compromised precision. Mark Portelli dives deeper into why automation is clear choice moving forward. #Viscosity #ProcessImprovement #Automation #ProcessControl https://lnkd.in/e67fpzwR
