Medical and consumables IVD reagent cartridge coating: two-component epoxy case study

Background

An equipment integrator / manufacturer in Medical and consumables needed to coating on a IVD reagent cartridge using two-component epoxy.

Process challenge

High fluid viscosity and resistance causing pneumatic extrusion to lose speed.

Solution

We recommended Screw Valve + Sensor, with replacing time-pressure control with a positive-displacement screw valve to meter by volume.

Result

• Material utilisation improved by about 8% with visibly less waste.
• Shot volume 1.5 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: IVD reagent cartridge
• Fluid: two-component epoxy
• Process: coating
• Recommended lines: Screw Valve, Sensor
