Video: Heavy-duty pressure vessel designed to handle high viscosity fluids
Engineering360 News Desk | May 10, 2021SR-TEK meets the increased demand from automotive, electronics and aerospace manufacturers for a product to dispense consistent flow rates on thick and thixotropic fluids with a new heavy-duty pressure vessel designed to handle medium to high viscosity fluids.
The piston tank PT-Series can handle silicone, adhesives, sealants, epoxies and ultraviolet gels as well as greases and thick paints, ensuring repeatable deposits on parts produced. The piston tank is designed to Source: SR-TEKoperate using standard factory compressed air and can apply up to 6.9 bar of pressure. Effective separation between the fluid and compressed air is built-in to prevent air curing.
- The system can easily be set up with an automatic valve controller.
- It is easy to fill with medium or high viscosity materials, such as engine oil.
- It can be supplied with a hand trigger to use it as a dispensing gun.
- The dispense valve can be held by the operator.
- A quick purge will remove any air bubbles left in the tubing and the valve.
- The flexible system can be used for low volume deposits or filling containers.
- It can be used for thicker materials, such as sealants, epoxies or greases if the user needs to produce dots or beads
- It is a simple bench top module solution for manual applications for fluids that don’t require contact with air or high viscosity materials requiring consistent flow rate.
