Nordson unveils monitoring & control 'TruFlow' meters

This variation management capability allows manufacturers to measure, understand and improve material delivery and dispensing, enabling manufacturers to reduce waste, improve product quality and enhance production efficiency.

Variation management is especially valuable in nonwoven disposable hygiene product manufacturing with demanding, rapidly-changing flow requirements during ramp up and ramp down phases.

The TruFlow meter is a simple, positive-displacement meter that accurately, consistently measures actual material flow rates. The versatile meter operates across a broad flow range, 10-500 cc’s per minute, as well as a wide spectrum of material viscosities and temperatures.

TruFlow meters have a durable design and construction making them easy to install and minimizing maintenance. Simple connections and compact size mean TruFlow meters are adaptable to most production environments.

The TruFlow meters join the family of TruFlow applicators and dividers to round out Nordson OptiBond solutions for variation management. The OptiBond portfolio accommodates both retrofit and new installations for everything from simple flow monitoring all the way up to sophisticated point-of-application, closed-loop control.
