AFC's Lube Oil Dispenser Options and Their Different Purposes In Your Workshop
Advance Fluid Control has been helping manage oil dispensing for over 15 years, and a key part of our product offering to customers is the oil dispenser meter guns. Oil dispenser meter guns are critical when pumping oil from drums or tanks, as it ensures traceability of the oil used.
Here’s a breakdown of the differences between a standard electronic oil dispensing nozzle, a preset oil dispensing nozzle, and the Graco Pulse Pro system:
1. Standard Electronic Oil Dispensing Nozzle
Function: This type of nozzle is designed for dispensing oil into vehicles or equipment. It typically features a digital display or meter that shows the amount of oil being dispensed in real-time.
Features:
Electronic Measurement: The nozzle tracks the amount of oil dispensed, ensuring accuracy.
Manual Operation: The user manually starts and stops the dispensing process.
No Pre-set Limit: It does not have a preset stop function. The user needs to control when to stop dispensing.
Usage: Often used in applications where precise control of oil quantity is required, but it’s up to the operator to monitor and stop when needed.
2. Preset Oil Dispensing Nozzle
Function: This nozzle type allows users to set a specific amount of oil to be dispensed before starting the operation. Once the preset amount is dispensed, the nozzle automatically stops.
Features:
Preset Amount: Users can program or select a specific volume of oil to be dispensed (e.g., 5 liters or 1 gallon).
Automatic Shut-off: After the preset volume is dispensed, the nozzle automatically shuts off to prevent overfilling or wastage.
Convenience: Helps ensure consistency and efficiency in dispensing, particularly in high-volume or fleet maintenance scenarios.
Usage: Ideal for situations where consistency is key, such as when multiple vehicles or machines require the same amount of oil.
3. Graco Pulse Pro System
Function: The Graco Pulse Pro is an advanced, automated oil dispensing system that combines oil metering, dispensing, and monitoring in one integrated unit. It’s typically used for bulk oil dispensing in automotive and industrial settings.
Features:
Automated Monitoring and Control: The system tracks the oil flow, providing real-time feedback on the amount dispensed.
Integration with Other Systems: It can connect to larger fleet management systems for more efficient inventory control and data tracking.
Remote Management: It may offer remote access for monitoring oil usage, tracking, and reporting.
Customizable Dispensing: The system can be programmed for specific dispensing protocols, including setting preset amounts, oil type, and tracking service intervals.
Usage: Designed for larger operations or service centers that require sophisticated control over their oil dispensing, inventory management, and maintenance records.
Key Differences:
Standard Electronic Nozzle: Basic functionality with manual control over dispensing.
Preset Nozzle: Provides automated shut-off based on a preset volume, ideal for consistent dispensing.
Graco Pulse Pro: An advanced, integrated system offering full automation, remote management, and inventory control, best suited for large-scale operations.
Each of these systems offers increasing levels of automation and control, with the Graco Pulse Pro being the most sophisticated for fleet management and bulk dispensing operations.
