How to select the right dispensing tip for a particular fluid and application

Nordson EFD, a Nordson company (NASDAQ: NDSN) and the world’s leading manufacturer of precision fluid dispensing systems, introduces a new Better Dispensing How-To Video series. These first three short but highly instructional videos, hosted by EFD Application Specialist Tom Muccino, provide best practices when selecting a dispense tip.

“The dispensing tip is one of the most important parts of the dispensing system,” said Muccino in the first overview how-to video. “So you don’t want to choose just any tip that works. You want to choose the best tip for the application.”

Nordson EFD manufactures hundreds of different dispensing tips with varying lengths, gauges, angles, and other features designed to optimize dispensing repeatability and accuracy for each fluid type and application.

  • The first video provides a brief overview of the different types of dispense tips available and types of fluids they’re best used with.

  • The second video outlines the most optimal dispense tips to use with medium-to-thick viscosity fluids to achieve benefits such as increased productivity.

  • The third video provides useful information about dispense tips that prevent wicking and dripping when dispensing low-viscosity fluids. It also outlines specialty tips that prevent premature curing of cyanoacrylates in the cannula.

These three Better Dispensing How-To Videos are the first in a series of educational videos from Nordson EFD that will provide best practices to help manufacturers improve dispensing processes to achieve greater throughput while reducing rejects, rework, and fluid waste.
