Techcon TS5540 Spray Valve, 0.046 In Fan Cap SS

Description

The Techcon TS5540 is a precision dispensing valve for spraying low-viscosity fluids in a controlled pattern rather than a bead, and this configuration ships with the 0.046 in fan cap for a wider elliptical spray footprint than the round-cap version. FDA-compliant 303 stainless steel forms the air cylinder and fluid housing. An external stroke control lets the operator fine-tune fluid flow at the valve instead of adjusting pump pressure, which keeps changeovers fast on a line running more than one part or coating pattern.

Where This Dispensing Valve Fits

• Conformal coating lines needing wider fan coverage than a round-cap valve provides
• Lubricant or release-agent spray over a broader surface area per pass
• Surface treatment and primer spray ahead of a bonding or coating step
• Automated dispensing cells where the valve mounts to a robot or gantry head

Dispensing Valve Specifications

• Orifice: 0.046 in, fan (elliptical) cap pattern
• Housing and cylinder material: 303 stainless steel, FDA-compliant
• Seat: field-replaceable Delrin seat for positive shutoff and long cycle life
• Control: external stroke adjustment for fine fluid-flow tuning
• Best suited to: low-viscosity adhesives, coatings, and lubricants (not heavy-bodied sealants)

Pair this dispensing valve with the matching TS5540 round cap (0.028 in) if the same line needs to switch between a wide fan pattern and a tight round pattern without swapping the whole valve body. Techcon supplies fluid tubing, needle adapters, and controller connections sized to the TS5540 platform, so confirm compatible fittings before the valve goes into service. Cycle rate and shot coverage both depend on the air pressure feeding the cylinder, so start at the manufacturer’s recommended pressure and adjust the external stroke control from there rather than compensating with fluid pressure alone. Most shops run this valve on fluids in the low-hundreds-of-centipoise range; heavier fluids call for a wider orifice or a different valve family entirely.
