“This was one of the easiest capital project implementations that we’ve ever done.” - Ron H., Steelscape
“Their temperature control system provided the biggest bang for the buck of any capital project so far!” - Jay Michael, Ternium
“The system actually resulted in an 80% reduction of naphthalene usage – a savings of nearly 72,000 lbs. a year!” - Eric Slind, Steelscape
Save Time. Reduce Waste.
Improve Quality.
These days, it’s not enough to simply use a robot in your automated fluid dispensing process. If you want high-quality, reliable, consistent results, you need tight viscosity and temperature control at the point of application. And that’s exactly what Saint Clair Systems does.
Over 99% of businesses who adopt our solutions save money and time, deliver better products, and reduce dependence on manual labor.
Switching from Manual Viscosity Adjustments to Automated Viscosity
Control Reduces Process Variability by 97%
Switching from Manual Viscosity Adjustments to Automated Viscosity Control Reduces Process Variability by 97%
Manually monitoring, measuring, and adjusting a material’s viscosity using a flow cup and stopwatch create unacceptable ranges of process variability due to crises-based dosing. However, once a fully automated control system is implemented, precise adjustments instantaneously take place reducing process variability by 97 percent.
The technology is inexpensive, easy to install, easy to operate, and suitable for multiple applications.
Perfecting Modern Fluid Dispensing
With Viscosity & Temperature Control
Perfecting Modern Fluid Dispensing With Viscosity & Temperature Control
Fluid dispensing is a journey.
The long-accepted practice of attempting to control temperature in the mixing room leaves too many opportunities for ambient temperature to fluctuate and impact viscosity (and, in turn, the quality of your output).
Our point-of-application technology removes this problem and replaces it with unparalleled consistency, reduced waste, and exceptional output.
