DELO Presents a New Jet Valve for Extremely-Small Allotting Portions – Uplaza

DELO has launched a brand new microdispensing valve. The DELO-DOT PN5 LV pneumatic jet valve is designed for meting out low-viscosity adhesives and different media in miniaturized purposes. Because of its compact design, it additionally requires little or no area to put in in manufacturing methods.

This new system widens DELO’s present portfolio of meting out valves. Whereas the intently associated DELO-DOT PN5, launched in 2022, was developed for extra viscous, extremely crammed supplies, the brand new LV (low-viscosity) variant is primarily aimed toward meting out smaller droplet sizes of low-to-medium-viscosity media with as much as 35,000 mPa·s.

Interchangeable nozzles with totally different diameters and a versatile, adjustable plunger stroke guarantee exact and dependable purposes at totally different droplet sizes. Volumes of as little as 1 nl could be achieved, which corresponds to droplet diameters of 250 µm or much less.

Because of its compact dimensions of 68 mm × 19 mm × 90 mm (W x D x H), DELO-DOT PN5 LV requires little or no area to put in in manufacturing methods. At simply 240 g, its light-weight building permits fast valve acceleration in addition to a smaller axis and drive design. It additionally helps high-speed processes with a steady meting out frequency of as much as 250 Hz.

The drive present in DELO-DOT PN5 LV is designed to be operated over one billion cycles, assembly the best requirements of robustness. The fluid plunger consists of sturdy supplies equivalent to ceramic and carbide. Because of its two-part building, customers can substitute each the plunger itself and the nozzle within the occasion of damage, specifically at life cycle finish. The bayonet lock permits for easy elimination with none instruments. Cleansing the fluid system will also be executed with minimal effort.

In distinction to needle dispensers, jet valves apply the adhesive in a contactless means that stops the valve and element from colliding. That is notably advantageous for advanced meting out geometries. As no motion within the z-direction is required, adhesive jetting additionally permits greater meting out speeds.
