Innovation Wednesday: Masterflex Digital Process Drives

Cole-Parmer has announced that all of its Masterflex L/S and I/P digital process drives now use anti-drip functionality for enhanced accuracy.

The technology briefly reverses the motor at the end of the dispense cycle, resulting in greater accuracy. They are available either in 316 stainless steel or powder-coat steel housings.

Designed for automated process applications including fluid transfer, dispensing, and metering in lab, process, and washdown environments, the drives automate dispensing by using the programmable dispense interval with a selectable delay between cycles. Programmed calibration provides dispense and display accuracy, with the drive storing one calibration per tubing size, and after use the drives can be hosed down. Cole-Parmer has also incorporated full remote control capabilities.

The drives are used for fluid transfer, dispensing and metering applications in lab, process, and industrial environments, and are commonly used in the pharmaceutical, food and beverage, dairy, chemical, manufacturing, and water treatment facilities. The programmable dispense interval allows users to set the delay between dispense cycles for automated dispensing by time or volume. The precise speed control is intended to improve accuracy, while the brushless motor provides maintenance-free reliability.
