New Pump Enables Safer Bulk Dispensing

The FS-EP1 Fluid Supply/Feeding System One-Gallon Pail Pump has been integrated with the ASYMTEK Helios fluid dispensing platform to create a solution for dispensing single-component (1K) thermal interface materials. Such materials, often used as gap fillers in electronics manufacturing, are highly viscous and abrasive, making them difficult to feed from the original packaging to the dispense valve.

The FS-EP1 pail pump pushes material to the dispense valve using a closed-hydraulic system. Low shearing of the material ensures that highly conductive thermal gap fillers do not separate, and material properties remain unaffected. There are no moving parts in contact with the gap filler, and no moving parts outside the pump enclosure—not even in the fluid line. The new FS-EP1 pump is designed to make high-performance bulk dispensing safe and easy to maintain and to minimize downtime.

The pump enclosure securely holds a one-gallon pail at the operator’s waist level so that it is simple to load and remove. Other features include the durable hydraulic pump, the operator interface and the tool-free seal changeover to improve performance and maintenance.
