Techcon TS5000 16P Low-Drag Delrin Feed Screw

Description

The Techcon TS5000 16P low-drag Delrin feed screw is a replacement metering component for rotary valve maintenance. It is one of the dispensing valve parts that controls how material advances through the valve chamber, helping a serviced TS5000 return to a predictable shot or bead after wear, buildup, or damage.

Where These dispensing valve parts Fit

The TS5000 rotary valve uses screw-driven displacement to move adhesives, sealants, pastes, grease, UV materials, and other production fluids. Pitch determines flow per rotation, so this 16-pitch screw should be selected only when the existing process calls for the same pitch. The low-drag Delrin format supports service work where the feed path needs a plastic screw with smooth travel through the chamber.

Use this screw when a valve has been cleaned but still shows inconsistent starts, reduced output, or visible thread wear on the old part. During rebuild, inspect the body bore, chamber surfaces, seals, and drive engagement. If the mating surfaces are damaged, replacing the screw alone may not restore the valve’s prior output behavior.

During maintenance, keep the removed part tagged until the repaired valve has been tested with the actual material. That habit helps a technician compare wear, confirm the right pitch or body style, and catch a mismatched spare before the line is restarted. Record the part number on the work order for future teardown history.

Keep this part with the matching TS5000 body and seal kit so the repair bench does not mix pitch or material variants. Browse dispensers, mixers, and nozzles for related valve service parts. For TS5000 family background, visit Techcon.
