Descriptions
The AD-5™ fluid dispenser provides automatic, unattended application of abrasive polishing suspensions and lubricants. Its functions are controlled through Allied’s MetPrep 3™, MetPrep 4™, DualPrep 3™ or MultiPrep™ systems, and can also be used with ANY brand polishing machine as a standalone system.
Timed, volume-controlled, variable frequency dispensing delivers reproducible results by eliminating inconsistencies between operators. This increases productivity and efficiency, while reducing consumables usage. Intuitive menu navigation and simple logic programming make the dispenser easy to use.
The AD-5™ features five (5) dispensing positions, two of which include a flush cycle to prevent clogging when using colloidal suspensions. Peristaltic pump technology offers mist-free drip delivery to the polishing surface.
