INDUSTRY COMPONENT

Adhesive Supply Line

Precision adhesive delivery system for automated manufacturing applications

Component Specifications

Definition
A specialized industrial component designed to transport adhesive materials from storage reservoirs to application points within automated machinery. This system maintains consistent pressure, flow rate, and temperature to ensure precise adhesive deposition in manufacturing processes.
Working Principle
Operates through positive displacement or pressure-regulated mechanisms to deliver adhesive materials via tubing. Typically incorporates pressure sensors, flow meters, and temperature controllers to maintain optimal viscosity and application parameters. May use pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric drive systems depending on adhesive properties.
Materials
Stainless steel 316L (primary wetted parts), PTFE/Teflon lining, food-grade silicone tubing, chemical-resistant elastomers (EPDM, Viton)
Technical Parameters
  • Flow Rate 0.1-10 mL/min
  • Tube Diameter 1/4" to 1/2"
  • Pressure Range 0-100 psi
  • Connection Type Quick-disconnect fittings
  • Temperature Range 15-80°C
  • Viscosity Handling Up to 50,000 cP
Standards
ISO 2852, DIN 11851, FDA 21 CFR 177.2600
