How we dispense it
We have run ER6003 thermally conductive epoxy on Dispense Robotics equipment. Our recommendation is PDPX-1500-500. Pump size still depends on your shot or bead size and cycle time, so send us those and we'll confirm.
- Abrasion: the ceramic filler that carries the heat wears pumps out. We use tungsten carbide rotors and wear-resistant stators and run the pump slowly, at 8 to 12 rpm, for long wear life.
- Ratio: each side is metered by its own progressive cavity pump to within ±1%. Check ratio by weighing a shot from each side every week, because filled materials vary from batch to batch.
- Mixing: a disposable static mixer does the mixing. Purge or change it before the material's working life runs out.
See our PDP two-component metering pumps, or use the pump configurator.
Frequently asked questions
What pump should I use to dispense ER6003 thermally conductive epoxy?
We have run ER6003 thermally conductive epoxy on Dispense Robotics equipment. Pump size depends on your shot or bead size and cycle time; send us those and we will size it.
Can ER6003 thermally conductive epoxy be fed from pails instead of cartridges?
Cartridges suit lab and low volume. Above that, a follower-plate pail pump feeds the metering pump directly, which cuts container changes and waste.
How do you keep ER6003 thermally conductive epoxy on ratio?
Each side is metered by its own progressive cavity pump, held to within ±1% per side. We recommend a weekly check: weigh a shot from each side and adjust, because filled materials vary from batch to batch.
Will ER6003 thermally conductive epoxy wear out the pump?
Thermally conductive fillers are abrasive. With tungsten carbide rotors, wear-resistant stators and pump speeds of 8 to 12 rpm, stators typically last 6 to 12 months and rotors up to 24 months, and a pump rebuild takes under an hour.
