Allocating the resin through a plunger movement

19 April 2017

An exclusive automatic manifold plate for resin-machine allocation in plastics centralized feeding systems, Dolphin by Moretto is based on a plunger movement of mechanical arms managed by a pneumatic cylinder, thus ensuring a very efficient an easy to control automation system with a reaction time of only one second. Starting from the Dolphin basic structure, it is possible to configure from 2 to 36 inlet and outlet positions in a modular and expandable fashion. This allows the user to expand the unit in time without expensive investments.

Thanks to seal rings, Dolphin ensures a tight coupling of the arms eliminating the risk of material contamination. In addition to this, its stainless steel construction makes it particularly fit for medical applications. Each arm has its own drive, and in case of malfunction it is possible to repair the single arm without affecting the functions of the entire department.

Thanks to its simple construction, the connection section is only 100 mm long, ensuring contaminant-free conveyance. Dolphin does not need any maintenance or lubrication and, according to the manufacturer, its lifecycle is four times longer than any other manifold unit.
