In high-capacity manufacturing environments, efficiency often determines competitiveness. For factories in Taiwan producing electronics, sensors, and optical components, one of the key bottlenecks lies in adhesive dispensing. As products diversify, production lines must quickly adapt to different adhesives and application requirements. Traditional dispensing methods struggle with this flexibility, leading to downtime and higher operational costs. Screw valves are emerging as a reliable solution to streamline these process transitions.

The Challenge of Switching Processes

High-volume factories typically run multiple production lines handling adhesives of varying viscosity, from UV-curable glue to solder paste and thermal grease. Each material has unique flow behavior and requires tailored dispensing control. Conventional systems often require extensive recalibration or even hardware changes when switching from one adhesive to another. This not only slows production but also risks inconsistency in glue volume and quality.

Why Screw Valves Help

The KSV1000 concentric screw valve series is designed to address these challenges. Unlike standard dispensing methods, screw valves rely on a rotating screw mechanism to deliver adhesive in precise, repeatable volumes. With features like quick-release components and universal downflow channel interfaces, factories can switch between processes much faster.

Key capabilities include:

• Adaptability to multiple cartridges (10/30/50ml) for quick material changes.
• Support for a wide viscosity range, even adhesives with particles.
• Forward and reverse screw control to prevent issues like glue drawing.
• Minimal downtime thanks to quick-clean maintenance design.

Application in Taiwan’s High-Volume Factories

For Taiwan’s electronics supply chain, which serves industries from consumer electronics to optical sensors, the ability to pivot quickly between production tasks is critical. For example, a line may need to shift from lens bonding to solder paste dispensing within hours. By deploying screw valves such as the KSV1000, operators reduce calibration complexity and ensure adhesive stability, maintaining throughput without sacrificing precision.

Beyond Adhesive Control

Another benefit is repeatability. The KSV1000’s closed-loop servo system achieves dispensing accuracy up to 98%, with glue output as low as 0.1μl. This precision not only improves product reliability but also reduces material waste — a key consideration in high-capacity environments where cost efficiency is as important as speed.

Conclusion

As Taiwan’s manufacturing sector continues to grow in scale and diversity, the demand for flexible, high-precision dispensing solutions will only increase. Screw valves like the KSV1000 offer a practical pathway to faster process switching, helping factories maintain high output while meeting evolving product requirements. By adopting advanced dispensing technology, Taiwan’s high-volume factories are strengthening their position in the global supply chain.
