Stainless steel valves for precise thin-film fluid deposits

4 May 2005 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

OK International has added two new stainless steel valves to its Techcon Systems' TS5500 Series Spray Valve family. The TS5540 and the TS5540F spray a fine mist of low-viscosity materials such as conformal coating, solvent, oil and grease, precisely and consistently for thin-film fluid deposits.

These valves come with a variety of nozzle/cap configurations for spraying different fluid deposit patterns and sizes. The TS5540's three cone-shaped nozzles/caps are for spraying three sizes of circular-shaped deposits. The TS5540F's three fan-shaped nozzles/caps are for spraying three sizes of elliptical-shaped deposits.

Both valves have a 4,8 bar activation pressure and handle fluid pressure at a maximum of 6,9 bar. Other than the different nozzles/caps, TS5540 and TS5540F are identical in construction of the main valve body. A smooth fluid path reduces turbulent flow and air entrapment ensuring consistent, precise and repeatable spraying. In addition, they feature an external stroke control that adjusts for different fluid flow and provides a fast, positive shut-off.

With rugged construction, a field-replaceable Delrin seat and a field-replaceable seal, the TS5540 and TS5540F offer a long life cycle and are service friendly. They are compatible with a wide range of aggressive and non-aggressive industrial chemicals.
