Innovative flex material prevents air entrapment in pulse pressure dispensing to reduce product waste
EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Thursday, July 31st 2014 [ME NewsWire]
(BUSINESS
WIRE) Nordson EFD, a Nordson company (NASDAQ: NDSN), the world’s
leading precision fluid dispensing systems manufacturer, introduces its
Optimum® Clear Flex Piston, a new dispensing solution to achieve more
consistent results when dispensing viscous fluids. The Clear Flex Piston
reduces bounce by creating a tighter seal between the piston and the
fluid than other pistons in the market.
Nordson EFD’s new piston
is made from a pliable material that allows the inserted piston to flex
under pressure, creating a tight seal between the piston and barrel. The
seal stops air from passing by the piston, preventing piston separation
and pulsing (or bounce) during dispensing. The piston fits tightly
enough into the syringe barrel to maintain excellent barrel wall wiping
throughout the dispensing cycle, reducing costly fluid waste. The clear
flex material provides superior strength, exceptional clarity, and
chemical compatibility with a wide variety of assembly fluids ranging
from adhesive dispensing to lubrication systems. It is especially
effective for highly viscous or filled materials where piston bounce is a
known issue, such as greases, pastes, or solder paste.
“Entrapped
air is the leading cause of piston bounce in air pulse pressure
dispensing,” said Brian Dodier, Nordson EFD global product line manager.
“In piston bounce conditions, micro-bubbles and air pockets can surface
between the piston and fluid. As this air builds, a lack of positive
compression is created on the fluid. When this pressure releases,
excessive material can be dispensed leading to inconsistent deposits.
The Optimum Clear Flex Piston minimizes piston bounce by preventing air
from becoming entrapped.”
Nordson EFD’s Optimum syringe barrels
and cartridge systems set the standard for quality, consistency, and
reliability within the fluid dispensing industry. Each Optimum
dispensing component has been designed as part of a complete, integrated
system that improves yields and reduces costs by producing the most
accurate, repeatable results possible. All EFD Optimum dispensing
components are produced silicone-free by Nordson EFD in the USA and are
certified safe for industrial use. Current Optimum systems can easily be
fitted with the clear flex piston.
