A860 Eureka™ - Simultaneous

Model A860 - EUREKA High Flow Pumps Simultaneous Dispense Automatic Colorant Dispenser

• Innovative Technology Provides Unequaled Color Accuracy.

The Eureka A860 incorporates HERO's new patented Progressive Cavity Pump(PCP) dispensing technology. This new, innovative, and revolutionary pump design allows HERO to offer the first truly low maintenance automatic colorant dispenser. In fact, we believe it offers the lowest cost of ownership available on the market today. The A860 incorporates this PCP technology into its unique cartridge design pump which allows for quick, clean and simple replacement. In addition, the A860 will further reduce your yearly maintenance cost as it does not suffer calibration drift like other competing technologies.

Thanks to this technology's ability to reverse the flow of colourant through the pump, HERO has also solved the problem of colourants drying in the nozzles. This feature is referred to as draw back. At the end of each dispense, the pump reverses rotation “sniffing” back the colourant inside the nozzles. This minimizes contact of colourant with air. The unit is also equipped with an automatic humidifier cap which helps keep the nozzles moist.

The Eureka A860 is an innovative automatic dispenser designed to meet the needs of a medium volume paint retailer. It can simultaneously dispense up to 4 colorants at once. That's approximately 80 ounces per minute! Furthermore, the A860 also offers precision unmatched by its rivals. It operates within a +/-1% error on average dispenses. Yes, this unit is so precise it can be used to tint 8oz sample color testers!

ADVANTAGES

• Unbeatable precision and productivity (better than a gear pump system)
• Unmatched durability and low maintenance cost (Similar to a piston pump system)
• Simple to repair, a complete dispense pump can be replaced in less than five minutes without the need for special tools or training
• Reduced Calibration Drift - HERO's low pressure pump design dramatically reduces calibration drift and pump wear. This results in longer part life expectancy, increased accuracy and no need for regularly scheduled calibration service calls.
• Simple to use, unbeatable quality/price ratio
• Simultaneous dispense of up to 4 colorants at once - That's up to 80 ounces per minute! Dispense speed is colorant dependent.
• New cartridge style pumps offer a quick and clean replacement
• Dual channel dispense - double up on popular colorants so that they dispense from 2 canisters simultaneously

BENEFITS

• Low maintenance and service costs
• Capable of dispensing difficult products
• Colorant won't dry in the nozzles
• Improved durability and pump life compared to gear drive units
