Key features

Temperature-controlled consumable storage Active heating and cooling capabilities provide temperature control across a range of 4°C to 40°C to maintain material stability.
Syringe dispensingPrecision syringe dispensing is used to accurately fill mould channels with formulated material.
CuringFormulation-filled moulds are heated to temperatures of up to 250°C to initiate the curing/polymerisation process.
Thermal imagingThermal images and video recordings are captured throughout the curing process to monitor temperature distribution and process performance.
ServicabilitySystem layout and the design of components allow easy access for cleaning/maintenance.


Overview

Syringes are picked from a temperature-controlled rack, barcode read and placed onto the syringe dispenser. The contents of the syringes are dispensed into a custom 3-channel mould.

Moulds are heated up to 250°C to start the curing process, thermal images and videos are taken as the formulation cures. Once complete, the mould is placed back to the rack.
