Dispensing Help
Below you will find a range of options, followed by an overview of basic dispensing FAQs and ideas. Please review the descriptions below. It is also a good idea to try to get the following information about your application:
- What is the material viscosity? Is it a single part or two part? Does the viscosity change from batch to batch or does it get thicker over time? The technical data sheet from the formulator should be able to tell you the thickness of your material.
- What is the individual shot size, per part, in volume? How accurate and repeatable does the shot size need to be? This helps us decide if a standard syringe dispenser will work, or if you need a more accurate positive displacement valve - or even an automated solution.
- What is the total volume you will use in a day or in a shift? Will it be CCs, or Ounces or Gallons? This helps us again determine the correct reservoir size for your dispenser to draw material from.

Are you wondering how to dispense glue, adheasives, epoxies, solder paste, RTV, grease, silicone or other assembly fluids? The right dispenser will depend on the material viscosity, the individual shot size, the total volume dispensed in a day or shift, and the accuracy you are trying to achieve. We can help you in a variety of ways.
Over the past 20 years, dispensing technology has evolved from benchtop and foot-pedal-controlled equipment, to semi- and fully automated high-performance valves and dispensing robots. Manufacturers have embraced automation for several reasons. Automated dispensers are cost-effective and easy to implement. They also increase production, improve quality and reliability, reduce worker fatigue, and provide a cleaner, safer working environment. A semiautomatic dispensing system maintains consistent shot size by allowing the user to enter trigger points for pressure, time and vacuum settings. Assemblers only need to program the controller once for each fluid and job. The system displays dispensing parameters to simplify control. Consistent shot size lowers material cost by reducing fluid waste and overall fluid consumption. This can be critical, as some materials, such as silver-filled epoxies, cost several hundred dollars per ounce. Systems that can reliably dispense these expensive materials are critical to a manufacturer’s profitability. Automated dispensers prevent dispensing in the wrong location, eliminating part cleaning or rework — both of which lessen productivity, increase cost, and increase the chances of part failure. |
Dispensing technology continues to evolve, but there will never be a one-type-fits-all solution for all types of manufacturers. One company with extensive dispensing equipment experience may require systems with the utmost speed and precision. But another company that is just starting to automate their dispensing process may be better served with simpler handheld or benchtop equipment. We are here to help choose the one you need for your exact application.
A few things to remember:
- First find the adhesive or other material you are going to be dispensing from a reputable formulator, to make sure your dispensing is not needlessly expensive, with equipment changes necessary.
- When using a pneumatic dispenser (air driven) you can change dot size by applying different air pressure, time settings and tip sizes. We will be glad to help you choose the right size or supply you with a variety of choices.
- Increasing either the air pressure, time duration or tip size will increase the dot size, while decreasing either the air pressure, time duration or tip size will decrease the dot size, even with positive displacement systems.
- Thicker, more viscous liquids, such as pastes or greases, will require either more pressure, a longer time setting or a larger size tip. It sounds like common sense and it usually is. But all materials have different properties!
- Thinner, less viscous liquids, such as Cyanoacrylates or thinners, will require less pressure, shorter time or a smaller tip size. Higher pressure and/or short time cycle increases the dispensing speed and provides a higher output.
