The advantages of discharging materials by shot:
Precise metering: The use of shots allows for precise metering because the amount of material dispensed can be accurately controlled. This is especially important in applications where accurate dosing is required to ensure product quality and consistency.
Repeatability: Shots in dispensing technology are repeatable, meaning the same amount of material is dispensed with each dispensing cycle. This ensures consistent product quality and process performance.
Minimization of waste: Precise dispensing minimizes material waste by dispensing only the amount needed. This contributes to cost efficiency and reduces material waste.
Speed and efficiency: Shot dispensing enables efficient material delivery, especially in applications where fast dispensing cycles are required.
Customizability: Shot size can be adjusted based on requirements and applications. This provides the flexibility to use different dispense rates for different products or processes.
Prevention of material mixing: In some applications, such as mixing technology, the use of shots can help prevent undesirable mixing of different materials.
Ease of control: Shot dispensing can be easily controlled by the dispensing unit or system controller, making process automation easier.
Overall, shot metering in dispensing technology enables precise, repeatable and efficient material feeding, which is important in many industries and applications, including food and beverage manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, electronics manufacturing, automotive and many others.
