Dispensing adhesives or sealants in a
swirl
The recently patented Program-A-Swirl system from Sealant Equipment and Engineering is designed to dispense adhesives or sealants in a circular swirling pattern or as a continuous bead
The recently patented Program-A-Swirl system from Sealant Equipment and Engineering is designed to dispense adhesives or sealants in a circular swirling pattern or as a continuous bead By dispensing in a swirled pattern of closed loops, the Program-A-Swirl maximises adhesion between two substrates and uses less material to 'wet out' a greater area

The new 2200-545 Series adjustable stroke mix-dispense valves are designed for controlled flow of 2-component adhesives and sealants such as silicones, epoxies, urethanes and acrylics
Swirling is achieved by oscillating the nozzle assembly creating a concentric circular pattern.
The assembly "self-centres" its action - this allows the tool to alternate on the fly between dispensing a swirl pattern and a consistent bead path.
The versatile Program-A-Swirl system can be used with a static mixer nozzle to dispense two-component, reactive resin materials, or with a standard nozzle for single-component materials.
Program-A-Swirl is typically mounted as an end-of-arm tool in robotic applications or fixture-mounted in automation tooling.
It can be integrated with many Sealant Equipment dispense systems.
Program-a-Swirl dispensing patterns will meet the geometry of virtually any application requirement, precisely adjusting the size of the looped pattern or bead.
