Engineered for your success

Our engineering process begins with consideration of your project specifications, integration and design requirements, and performance demands. We then identify the optimal components to achieve your goals.

Your Engineered Precision Fluid Dispensing System may include:

  • Fluid-only nozzles
  • Low-volume nozzles
  • Roller applicators
  • Automatic control valves
  • Solenoids
  • Sensors (flow, pressure, temp.)
  • Pressure regulators
  • Filters/strainers
  • Motors
  • Pumps
  • Relays, switches
  • Tubing, piping, fittings
  • Fluid-supply tanks
  • Manual valves
  • Structural support framing
  • Enclosures
  • Electronic timers
  • Custom control panels / GUI’s
Precision Fluid Dispensing Considerations

Fluid delivery
Unist engineers pumped-fluid or pressure-delivered-fluid systems and can recommend the correct method for your application. Positive-displacement pump-based systems vs. pressure-based systems

Delivery type
Our systems can deliver a continuous supply of fluid or intermittently dispense a discrete drop depending on your requirements. Continuous fluid delivery or Intermittent fluid delivery

Spray generation
Precise spray control can be achieved with a fluid/air mixture or with an airless (fluid only) method. Unist engineers can help determine the best method for your application. Air atomized spray generation or airless spray generation

Spray shaping
Spray shaping is critical when it comes to accurate application and fluid conservation. Unist supplies a variety of nozzles for both focused or fan-spray patterning. Spray patterns and shapes

Fluid control
All projects have budgets and allowable margins of error. Unist has the experience to deliver the correct level of control for your application. Manually-controlled vs automated fluid dispensing systems


Built for performance and durability

Our customers’ success and our reputation both depend on our systems’ ability to not only perform in demanding manufacturing environments, but to go the distance. That’s why we build them using quality materials and proven components and employ rigorous testing to ensure they deserve a place in your manufacturing or assembly line.


Engineered System Examples:
Roll-coating system for round profile material

Problem: Customer’s existing spray system did not produce adequate spray pattern to properly lubricate the entire circumference of wire. This system caused fluid waste and mess because of overspray and limited spray pattern adjustment

Solution: Unist developed a contoured roller applicator to maintain contact with and lubricate the entire circumference of the wire. Internally-fed rollers wick transfer only what fluid is needed to the wire stock without waste or mess.

Result: Customer was pleased to report a 40% reduction in fluid usage resulting in an estimated $XXXX savings per month. They also report that fluid mess on equipment and floors is no longer an issue.

Fluid delivery: Pressure-based, continuous fluid delivery

Control: Programmable digital fluid controller with job storage, active monitoring of fluid level and pressure, alerts and anti-tamper lockout feature.

Integration: Rotational sensor on applicator allows controller to maintain correct fluid volume regardless of line speed changes. Applicator is mounted inline directly after XXX process and connected to SmartFlow® programmable fluid controller and pressurized fluid supply.
