Medical and consumables swab tube metered filling: thermal grease case study

Background

An equipment integrator / manufacturer in Medical and consumables needed to metered filling on a swab tube using thermal grease.

Process challenge

Large potting volume where voiding and incomplete fill are hard to balance.

Solution

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

Result

• Overall equipment availability improved by about 12%.
• Shot volume 0.008 mL with deviation within ±2%.
• Cycle time 1.0 s per dot with no stringing or dripping during continuous running.

Project facts

• Industry: Medical and consumables
• Workpiece: swab tube
• Fluid: thermal grease
• Process: metered filling
• Recommended lines: Screw Valve, Sensor
