Yes. Many consumables such as dispensing needles, cartridges, pistons, end caps, adapters and mixing tubes are available individually or in small quantities. You do not have to purchase full bulk packs.
Good to know:
Do you need individual samples for tests or trials?
Contact us. We will be happy to help you select the right products.
H. Sigrist & Partner AG operates in three main areas:
Our range of services extends from the sale of individual components to the development and construction of customised systems and manufacturing on behalf of customers.
Our company is based in Matzingen in the canton of Thurgau and has been active in industrial application technology for more than 30 years.
| Information | What we need |
|---|---|
| Production process | Description of the individual steps from part feeding through to curing, including manual work, waiting times and post-processing. |
| Dispensing quantity | Planned shot weight or dispensing quantity per cycle, including the permissible tolerance. |
| Cycle time | Available time per dispensing cycle and the required number of parts per hour or shift. |
| Material data | Technical Data Sheet (TDS) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for the chemistry used. These provide information such as viscosity, pot life, mixing ratio, material compatibility and hazard information. |
| Component geometry | Drawing, CAD data or sketch showing the areas to be dispensed and their accessibility. |
| Photos or sample parts | Photos or sample parts help us assess the actual application more accurately. A non-disclosure agreement can of course be arranged. |
The more complete the information, the more specifically we can recommend a suitable solution.
You can still contact us even if some information is missing. Many details can be clarified in a discussion, during an on-site visit or through an application test.
A professional dispensing system applies material in a controlled, reproducible and process-reliable manner. This can reduce material consumption, scrap and rework.
However, the decisive difference often only becomes apparent during operation. When purchasing a system, the acquisition price is frequently the main point of comparison. Yet a large proportion of the actual costs only arise afterwards.
Typical causes of follow-up costs include:
| Cause | Technical effect | Possible consequence |
|---|---|---|
| Incorrectly designed material routing | Humidity, oxygen, temperature or UV light can alter the material while it is still inside the dispensing system. | Moisture-curing adhesives may react prematurely, resins can become more viscous, pot life may be shortened or dispensing may become unstable. |
| Lack of spare parts availability | Defective devices or components may no longer be repairable after only a few years. | The complete system may need to be replaced and production downtime can increase. |
| Unsuitable materials | Seals, hoses or valves may swell, stick or be chemically attacked. | The dispensing quantity can change, while maintenance requirements and scrap may gradually increase. |
| Undocumented process parameters | Settings and empirical values are not documented in a traceable way. | Process quality becomes more dependent on individual employees and is harder to reproduce consistently. |
| Production downtime | Malfunctions interrupt the ongoing production process. | This can lead to rework, scrap, delivery delays or, in the worst case, customer complaints. |
A dispensing system alone does not solve these issues. It is part of a process chain consisting of material, components, parameters and operation. The benefits of a professionally designed system only emerge when these elements are properly matched.
The key question is therefore not only:
How much does the dispensing system cost?
But also:
How much does one hour, one day or one week of production downtime cost?
Once these costs are taken into account, the additional investment in a professional and long-term supported dispensing system often becomes relatively small very quickly.
