Automatic Colorant Dispenser

The Archimede incorporates HEROa 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 Archimede is so simple to repair that an entire dispense circuit can be replaced without tools or special training in less than 5 minutes. In addition, the Archimede 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 colorant through the pump, HERO has also solved the problem of colorants drying in the nozzles. This feature is referred to as draw back and at the end of each dispense the pump reverses rotation, sniffing - back the colorant inside the nozzles. This minimizes contact of colorant with air. The unit is also equipped with a humidifier cap which helps keep the nozzles moist.
