How to Reduce Your Fluid Dispensing Costs by Over 1,000%

Are you looking to upgrade your fluid dispensing solution? When purchasing a fluid dispensing system, one of the most important factors to consider is the cost of ownership which includes all process control, maintenance and energy costs for the life-time of the system, or the number of years that you plan on using it.

With a pneumatic fluid dispenser, these fluid dispensing costs can very quickly get out of hand. Here’s more information about how you can keep your fluid dispensing costs lower:

Pneumatic Fluid Dispensers Are Expensive

Pneumatic fluid dispensers are extremely expensive to run due to the cost of running air compressors and the uncontrollable nature of air pressure which results in ongoing maintenance fees. The decision to install a single pneumatically driven fluid dispensing system commits the purchaser to years of unrealized losses throughout the duration of the program. A fluid dispensing system should be contributing to the growth of the bottom line, and not have the reverse effect.

Fluid Dispensing Systems Are More Cost Effective

A lower cost of ownership of a fluid dispensing system is the result of a system that controls the process, which a pneumatic system does not do. Pneumatic fluid dispensers result in reliability and quality control problems including variations in viscosity and dot size, dripping and waste of the material, and changes in homogeneity. These conditions challenge the accuracy and repeatability of fluid dispensing systems.

Pneumatic Systems Are Hard to Control

Pressure drops and volumetric displacement are a result of the plumbing between the air compressor and workstation. When violent air pulses come into contact with the assembly fluid it can result in turbulence, heat, and changes in viscosity. This undermines the ability of air-driven dispensers to deliver prescribed amounts of material consistently. Fluid dispensing accuracy and repeatability is challenged. This uncontrollability associated with pneumatic systems can lead to an abundance of unforeseen costs.

Fishman Corporation’s patented AirFree® technology brings the fluid dispensing process into control by eliminating air pressure and air compressors to stabilize the dispense process. The result is an inexpensive cost of ownership dropping hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars to the bottom line.
