Dispensers

The Archimede incorporates HERO’s new patented Progressive Cavity Pump (PCP) dispensing technology. This new, innovative, and revolutionary pump design allows HERO to offer the fi rst truly low maintenance automatic colorant dispenser. In fact, we believe it offers the lowest total cost of ownership available on the market today. The Archimede is so simple to repair that an entire dispense circuit can be replaced without tools or special training in less than 5 minutes. In addition, the Archimede will further reduce your yearly maintenance cost as it does not suffer calibration drift like other competing technologies. Thanks to this technology’s ability to reverse the fl ow of colorant through the pump, HERO has also solved the problem of colorants drying in the nozzles. This feature is referred to as “draw back” and at the end of each dispense the pump reverses rotation, pulling the colorant back inside the nozzles. This minimizes contact of colorant with air. The unit is also equipped with a humidifi ed nozzle capper which helps keep the nozzles moist. The A200 dispenses colorants in a consecutive, continuous fl ow sequence thus reducing dispense time. For even faster performance, HERO also offers the A250, a simultaneous dispense (up to 4 colorants at once) version of the A200. Archimede offers remarkable precision with a +/-1% error on average dispenses. Yes, this unit is so precise it can be used to tint 8 oz sample color testers!
