Fluid Dispensing Q&A

  •   Sometimes I get a slight variation in my deposit size. What might be causing this?

    That depends on the type of fluid you are dispensing. If you are dispensing a particle-filled material, partial clogging in the dispensing tip could cause the variations.

    One of the most common factors to consider is your plant air supply. If you have fluctuations in the air-line going into the dispenser, you will almost certainly get variations in your deposit size. Make sure you have a in-line filter regulator between your plant air supply and the dispenser. If you do have plant air fluctuations, you should set the filter regulator approximately 5 to 10 psi lower than your lowest plant air fluctuation point.
