ADAPTAFIL™ Semi-Automatic Benchtop FAQ Sheet Filamatic A Division of National Instrument, LLC 4119 Fordleigh Road Baltimore, MD 21215 Why did Filamatic make the AdaptaFil™ Semi-Automatic Benchtop? We asked our customers, past and present, what frustrated them the most about their current Benchtop machines. We listened to their responses and our Engineering team set out to design the ―ideal‖ Benchtop. They incorporated several features typically only found on fully automated machines and found a way to provide four interchangeable pumps on the same base. This saves the customers time, money, and space. The end result is the most versatile Semi-Automatic Benchtop in the industry. What are the benefits to having four different interchangeable pumps on one base and what products can each pump fill? The number one benefit is the ultimate flexibility provided in regard to products, fill ranges, and fill rates. Having four interchangeable pumps available for one base also eliminates the need to buy a new machine for every pump—all with just a quick tool-less changeover. The four interchangeable pumps are Peristaltic, Gear, Lobe, and Piston. The products they can fill are: Your Specialist in Liquid Filling Equipment and Integrated Systems Peristaltic – free flowing (water like products) Gear – free flowing, semi-viscous, viscous, and product with medium particulates Lobe –free flowing, semi-viscous, viscous, and product with large particulates Piston –free flowing, semi-viscous, viscous, product with small particulates and precise fills Why is it called a Benchtop? Benchtop, also called Tabletops, are named for their size. They are meant to fit on a table or small space and are ideal for upstart companies, R & D departments, small production runs, and budget conscious projects.
