 Palmer flow calibration tubes
are a cost effective, beneficial, foundry efficiency
tool.
Flow calibration tubes offer:
Advantages
- Eliminate the need
for scales, buckets, and gloves in
calibration
- Calibrate
continuous mixers without wasting binder (zero
loss system)
- Calibration
accomplished with one operator
- Measures actual
binder flow to the mixer in operation
- Calibration is
performed during the mold and core making
process eliminating lost production time due to
calibration
- Entire procedure
takes less than 2 minutes
- Eliminates the
normal mess of calibration
- No operator
contact with resins
- Extremely accurate
- less chance of error
- Trial resin
samples are easily tested by using the flow
calibration tubes as a mini resin storage tank
without changing a single hose
