The RC200 Radial Coat Valve, newly launched by PVA (Precision Valve & Automation, Inc.), sprays low viscosity fluids onto the inside walls of a cylinder to create a layer of coating. It integrates PVA’s front closing valve technology, to start and stop fluid flow, with an air motor to spin the coating nozzle. The nozzle rotation uses centrifugal force to accurately propel the fluid directly on to cylinder walls in a 360° degree pattern.
Fluids that can be sprayed with this technology include water, solvents, and low viscosity lubricants. The valve is the quintessential solution for precisely applying fluid inside of a syringe, barrel or tube.
Further expanding the capabilities of the valve are a wide range of coating nozzles that can be used for various size cylinders. In addition, a simple controlled motion in the vertical axis can be performed to coat wider areas of a cylinder.
The RC200 is available for all new PVA2000 and PVA650 machines, or can be integrated into existing automation.
For over 15 years, PVA has supplied the world with innovative fluid dispensing solutions that remain at the forefront of motion and application technology. PVA’s customer driven solutions are utilized worldwide in industries ranging from solar, semiconductor packaging, printed circuit board assembly, medical device manufacturing, and consumer electronics.
