Medical and consumables medical catheter metered filling: polyurethane potting compound case study

Background

An equipment integrator / manufacturer in Medical and consumables needed to metered filling on a medical catheter using polyurethane potting compound.

Process challenge

Particle fillers settling and clogging after long idle periods.

Solution

We recommended Screw Valve + Sensor, with pairing a micro screw valve with a level sensor in closed loop for accurate volumetric output.

Result

Setup time cut from 40 minutes to under 15 minutes.
Shot volume 4 mL with deviation within ±2%.
Cycle time 1.0 s per dot with no stringing or dripping during continuous running.
