Tridak Model 826 disposable fluid path valve features adjustable suck-back control. Prevents material from forming at the dispense tip with low-viscosity fluids. Pinch valve also features disposable fluid path technology. Fluid tubing is replaceable; is available in two sizes and a variety of materials. Reportedly eliminates expensive seal-kit maintenance. Is said to be ideal for all low-to-high viscosity materials. Possesses flow control and an over-stroke adjustment that prevents tubing damage. Model 345 valve controller is best suited for actuation of this valve.

RDS 2100 and RDS 3000 drying systems for solar cell metallization consist of a combination of either five or seven IR zones and one central convection zone. Guarantee safe transport through the oven, either via mesh belt or with pin chain up to three lanes.  Conveyor of the heating zone can be separated from that of the cooling zone; reportedly no latent heat is carried into the cooling area. Have belt speeds up to 6 m./min. and throughputs of up to 5700 wph.
