]]> When to use the Single Post Ram

The Single Post Ram Pump is designed to pump paste materials, (which will not flow under their own weight by gravity).  The single cylinder ram design provides down force to the ram seal plate to pressurize material in a straight sided 5 gallon pail, forcing the material to flow into a pump during its intake stroke.  The Single Post Ram is a highly capable single-component material dispenser that can be used for abrasive materials.

Specifications

  • Pumps viscous, paste-like materials
  • Simple, durable, proven single acting pump design with hardened pump bore and piston rod. Pumps have a long service life and will handle abrasive materials.
  • Easy to service and maintain.
  • Pumps directly from 5 gallon shipping containers. Minimizes manual material transfer and eliminates mess.
  • Pneumatically powered
  • Can be paired with manual or pneumatic dispense guns for hand or automated dispensing.  Compatible with X-Y table applications and high volume production.
