Graco PCF Metering System for Sealant & Adhesive Dispensing
The Graco PCF Metering System is a high-precision, closed-loop dispensing solution that provides continuous, uninterrupted flow for single-component sealants and adhesives. Unlike traditional shot meters, it eliminates reload delays and adapts in real time to temperature, viscosity, and dispense rate changes, ensuring consistent, accurate material flow.
Designed for automotive and industrial applications, the PCF system minimizes material waste, reduces rework, and improves production efficiency. With multiple applicator support (up to 16), an intuitive user interface, and self-diagnostic capabilities, it offers a reliable, easy-to-integrate solution for manufacturers looking to enhance precision and performance.
