PD44 Dispensing System

Product catalog summary
Overview: The PD44 Dispensing System is a patented technology designed for micro dispensing of two-component materials, ranging from water-thin to paste viscosity. It is capable of dispensing volumes from 0.005cc to 5cc, ensuring precise mix ratios and shot repeatability without the issues of hose expansion and contraction.
Key Industries and Applications: The system is applicable in industries such as automotive electronics, consumer electronics, medical, sporting goods, and appliance manufacturing. It is used for potting, gasketing, sealing, encapsulation, and syringe filling.
Performance Features: The PD44 is engineered to dispense two-component epoxies, urethanes, silicones, and reactive resin systems with improved low viscosity spool design and rod positive displacement metering. It eliminates the need for cleaning and prevents material hardening in the valve.
Operation Process: The system operates through a reload, shift, and dispense cycle. Materials are fed into metering chambers, isolated from the mixer inlet, and then dispensed accurately into a disposable mixer.
Technical Specifications: The PD44 supports material ratios from 1:1 to 25:1 and shot sizes from 0.005cc to 5cc. It can perform up to 60 cycles per minute, depending on various factors such as stroke length and material viscosity. The system includes balanced inlet/outlet spool assemblies and a variety of material feed systems.
Control and Customization: The PD44 offers manual and programmable shot size control, with options for pneumatic and electric controllers. It features a simple operator interface, password protection, and anti-gel/purge timers. The system can be integrated with auxiliary equipment for enhanced functionality.
Accessories and Options: The system supports various accessories like level controls, agitators, and vacuum degassing. It also offers a range of mixers and disposable needles to suit different applications.
Company Background: Graco, founded in 1926, is a leader in fluid handling systems, known for its commitment to technical excellence and customer service. The company provides a wide range of equipment for various industrial applications.

PD44 Dispensing System-2

Application Exceptional Performance The PD44 is specifically designed to dispense small amounts of water thin to paste viscosity materials from 0.005cc’s to 5cc’s. The metering rods are matched with machined seals for improved seal life. There are no material hoses between the rod pump outlets and mixer inlet which eliminates potential ratio or shot size problems (phasing) due to hose expansion and contraction. PD44 Dispensing Systemfeatures • Specifically designed to accurately dispense shots of twocomponent epoxies, urethanes, silicone and most reactive resin systems • Improved low viscosity...

How it works Materials remain separate until injected into static mixer The patented PD44 valve features balanced inlet/outlet spool assemblies that do not displace material while shifting from the reload to the dispense position. This allows pressure feeding of the “A” and “B” components up to 1200 psi during reloading while isolating the materials from the mixer inlet. Upon shifting to the dispense position without any material displacement, an accurate volume of “A” and “B” components is injected into the disposable mixer inlet by rod displacement metering technology. Reload Spools shift to...
