The point behind using a small pump liquid dispenser is control. You need to place precise portions exactly in the right place or you could use something decidedly less expensive with much less precision. The dispenser itself is obviously important, especially in regards to the ability to place the liquid exactly where it needs to be without any spillage. The controller is always extremely important. Not only is regulation of the air pressure often determined by controllers but also the exact amount dispensed. Timing can also be important to consider, as a lag between triggering and the actual ejection of liquid can create problems. Often, foot valves are the best control method as opposed to automated fluid dispenser units.
The Advantages of Foot Valves
There are many benefits to the use of foot valves from OKI's dispensing solutions store. Although some users will prefer an alternate style of control, foot control allows the operator to place the hand exactly where it needs to be and then trigger the unit without fear of moving the hands. Also, many fingertip or hand control devices actually mount on your dispenser. This adds bulk to the equipment which may prevent it from being able to access certain locations or obscure vision. Another advantage to pedal style control units is that gloves will not interfere with control, which can be the case with fingertip controls. Pedals often last longer as well because they will not be damaged with the dispenser is dropped or impacted.
Ultimately, the control of your small pump liquid dispenser units must be decided based on a number of factors. Whether a pedal or hand control is right for your application, the parts that you need will be at OK International.
