Auger Valve System
December 31, 1969 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
The Auger Valve system uses air pressure and timing and dispense controls to release reportedly accurate and repeatable deposits of particle-filled fluids, such as solder pastes, silver epoxies, and thermal greases. It includes a fixed head for lines and stripes or a sliding head and footed-tip assembly for irregular surfaces and micro-deposits.
The systems use brush or brushless motor configurations and offer 8- and 16-pitch auger assemblies. A ValveMate Controller regulates feed pressure, dispense time, and auger speed. Ultra dispense tip kits provide fluid control, while an optional Ultra TT robot makes the system a tabletop solution. The system offers a tool-free method for consistent deposits of thick materials, according to the company. EFD Inc., East Providence, R.I., www.efd-inc.com.
