HERO A310 Series Waterbased Automatic Sequential Dispenser

Manufacturer: HERO

Part #: A310-12E-V, A310-12E-HB1-V 

Description: The Entry-Level Automatic Dispenser for Low - Volume Tinting.

• 12 Canisters, 2.6 Qts. Canister Capacity. (16 and 24 canister units available by custom order)
• Water-based or universal colorants (non-solvent).

Models Available:

• Standard flow rate: 12.5 oz /min max.
• Hybrid* flow rate: (8 Standard and 4 High Flow Pumps) - Max flow rate: 20 oz /min

*The A310 Hybrid combines HERO’s standard flow pumps with high flow pumps for the most used colorants. This hybrid system yields a maximum available flow rate of 20 oz per minute.

The A310 Series incorporates HERO’s patented Progressive Cavity Pump (PCP) dispensing technology. This innovative and revolutionary pump design allows HERO to offer the first truly low maintenance automatic colorant dispenser. In fact, we believe it offers the lowest cost of ownership available in the market today. The A310 Series is so simple to repair that an entire dispense circuit can be replaced without tools or special training in less than 15 minutes. In addition, the A310 Series further reduces yearly maintenance costs as it does not suffer calibration drift like other competing technologies.

Thanks to this technology’s ability to reverse the flow of colorant through the pump, HERO has also solved the problem of colorant drying in the nozzle. This feature is referred to as pull back. At the end of each dispense, the pump reverses rotation “pulling” back the colorant inside the nozzles. This minimizes contact of colorant with air.

The A310 Series dispenses each colorant sequentially and offers precision unmatched by its rivals. On average dispenses, the accuracy is within +/-1%. Yes, this unit is so precise it can be used to tint sample color testers!

ADVANTAGES

• Unbeatable precision and productivity (better than a gear pump system)
• Unmatched durability and low maintenance costs (similar to a piston pump system)
• Simple to repair – a complete dispense circuit can be replaced in less than 15 minutes without special tools or training
• Drift free calibration
• Simple to use
• Unbeatable quality/price ratio
• No remodeling required as this unit is designed to fit in the same footprint as a manual dispenser
• Sequential dispense – one channel (colorant) – max dispense rate of up to 12.5 ounces per minute!

PROBLEMS SOLVED

• Eliminates cost of repeated calibrations and repairs for which other technologies require a service technician
• Capable of dispensing difficult products
• Colorant drying in the nozzles will be a thing of the past
• Improved durability and pump life compared to gear drive units

ERGONOMICS & EASE OF USE

• Canisters are mounted on a rotating frame to facilitate ease of colorant re-filling
• Low refill threshold is ideal for staff of any height
• Top surface can be used to hold a computer with monitor and a label printer at a comfortable height
• Space saving compact design
