APPARATUS FOR DISPENSING LIQUIDS AND SOLIDS

摘要

A dispensing system including a housing (10) with an interior bulkhead (18) and four progressive cavity pumps (20) mounted within the housing (10) on one side of the bulkhead (18). The pumps (20) are mounted with bores (25B) in vertical orientation. Gear boxes (28) including bevel gears coupling the vertically mounted pumps (20) with horizontally mounted motors (30) located on the other side of the interior bulkhead (18). A dispense head (40) is located above the housing (10) with outlet passages (50) extending from the pumps (20) to the dispense head (40) defining a path to the dispense head (40) which is continuously upward. The dispense head (40) includes valves (48) driven by a pneumatic cylinder (44). A solenoid (54) controls flow of pressurized air to the pneumatic cylinder (44) from a position adjacent the dispense head (40) on the boom (36) supporting both.
