SeeFlo® 494 Bead Dispensing System

 

A fixed ratio bead dispensing system for 2 component adhesives & sealants
 

The SeeFlo® 494 is essentially a larger scale version of the SeeFlo® 690 and is well suited for applying uniform beads of two component structural bonding adhesives including the latest type which contain abrasive glass fillers.

Introduced specifically to combat the effects that difficult to handle materials have on meter / mix equipment, the SeeFlo® 494 system incorporates a host of desirable features coupled with many options.

Metering
Positive displacement meter rods, powered by a common AirDraulic™ or more powerful Hydraulic drive, proportion the two components to the material manufacturer's exact volumetric ratio. To void the effects of abrasive materials, the hardened and ground meter rods never touch (scrub) the meter cylinder walls throughout the dispense or reload cycle.

 

Air powered, carbide constructed valves direct the material's flow into and out of the metering cylinders. The valve's 3,000 psi operating pressure permits dispensing of high viscosity materials (up to over 1,000,000 cps). Meter cylinder wet cups isolate material from atmospheric moisture - critical for moisture sensitive silicones or urethanes.

These SeeFlo® 494 features provide flexibility that cup style meters cannot match.

Mixing & Clean Cut Off
Low cost,
No-Flush™ disposable plastic mixer nozzles, attached to a dual component dispense valve, thoroughly blends the material components just prior to dispensing, while eliminating the need to solvent flush the mixer.

The valve's Snuf-Bak™ closing action guarantees a clean material shut off without dripping or stringing. For lower viscosity materials containing a high degree of abrasive particles, a No-Drip® carbide dispense valve is an option. The dispense valve can either be hand held or robotically tooled.

Controlled Dispense Rate
A smooth, consistent dispense flow rate is insured by the 494's AirDraulic™ or Hydraulic drive. This feature provides precise dispense rate flow control when a uniform bead is required.

Controls
The standard 494 includes a 110 VAC control circuit (240 VAC also available) incorporating, purge timers, and PLC controllers as standard, enabling direct connection to a robot controller for a fully automated robotic dispensing system.

Optional Material Supply
To assure positive priming, it is recommended that material be supplied to the meter cylinders by pumps. Other options can include our SeeTherm™ material temperature conditioning system.

The Bottom Line
With it's numerous dispense controls, the SeeFlo® 494 is designed to improve your operation. Couple this flexibility with its reliability and you have a dispense system you can count on to increase productivity.
