Fluid Management - Design And Development Of A Bulk Fluid Pumping, Mixing And Dispensing System
 
 

Beauty ProductA global medical diagnostics company required design of a device to dispense different fluids through a wash station with tight specifications such as

To dispense 8 different fluids through a wash station for a medical device
Fluid containers are positioned below the dispense location
Five varieties of the fluids have to be passed through a distributor

The volume of fluid dispensed should be controlled within ± 5% of the required dispense volume

Project Highlights

  • Design and development of an air pump using compressed air to pump the fluids from their individual containers
  • Customized distributor system was developed for mixing and dispensing 5 different fluids
  • Development of time-driven precision solenoid valves used for accurate dispensing of fluids
  • Development of embedded systems to control fluid dispensing system
  • Anti-drip solenoid valves were used to prevent fluids from dripping in the flow-off condition
  • Prototype Development and Testing

Core Competency Leverage:

Innovation, Design and Prototyping Skills, Mechanism, fluid delivery system design, Testing and validation
