Because of their design, SRZ-TC Helical gear meters are often chosen for sealant dispensing applications where viscosities are high and so are the precision requirements. Such sealant materials are used in many manufacturing operations for corrosion resistance, weather protection, and general sealing of critical areas.
Automotive Under Body Coating
The SRZ-TC Helical Gear Meter is employed to measure high-viscosity PVC sealants used as an underbody coating for automotive chassis to enhance corrosion resistance. This type of flow meter is ideal for handling viscous materials because its helical gear mechanism ensures accurate measurement and consistent flow rates, even with thick substances. The PVC sealant, applied to the chassis, forms a durable protective layer, shielding the metal from moisture, chemicals, and abrasives.
Automotive Paint Operations
The SRZ Helical Flow Meter is ideal for automotive paint booths because its robust design ensures precise measurement and consistent performance, overcoming the limitations that causes other meters to fail. The SRZ-TC is able to maintain accuracy despite the challenging conditions. Additionally, its compatibility with PLC-based controls and ability to report usage data via Ethernet make it a perfect fit for efficient monitoring and compliance with EPA regulations.
