Fluids dispensed: Automotive suppliers and manufacturers worldwide specify EFD precision dispensing systems to consistently apply adhesives, sealants, grease, inks and other fluids during their assembly processes. Many of the high-performance fluids needed to bond materials and seal exposed parts are expensive, making waste reduction an important issue. In many applications, the elimination of over-deposits can reduce material waste by 50% or more. EFD systems are designed to empty material reservoirs as completely as possible, minimizing waste. The closed-system design also reduces waste...
