About Fluid Automation
Fluid Automation was founded in 1974 in Wixom, Michigan by Lance Daby, who commercialized the industry's first direct-from-the-drum pumping system for room temperature vulcanization (RTV) silicone materials. Shortly after, the company developed the world's first 1:1 ratio liquid silicone rubber (LSR) metering and mixing systems, cementing its reputation as a pioneer in precision silicone dispensing technology. In 2012, Fluid Automation was acquired by Graco Inc., and the brand and its core engineering team were retained to continue developing and supporting the product line.
Fluid Automation's flagship equipment centers on LSR and RTV mixing and dispensing systems. The product line spans table-top cartridge dispensers for low-volume work, transfer and metering systems for pail and drum-fed production, and fully automated PLC-controlled closed-loop metering units for high-throughput manufacturing. The 622-1A LSR Mixing and Dispensing System is a well-known model in the field, and the F4-5 and F4-55 series represent the evolved, flow-meter-based generation of 1:1 ratio machines. Electric-servo motor operated metering machines round out the lineup, offering tighter dispense control and cleaner operation than traditional hydraulic designs.
Fluid Automation silicone dispensers serve a broad range of precision manufacturing industries. Medical device manufacturing is a primary market, where clean-room-compatible stainless steel wetted components and tight ratio control are essential for producing implant-grade and medical-grade silicone parts. Automotive manufacturers rely on Fluid Automation equipment for gaskets, seals, and elastomeric components, while aerospace, infant care, consumer products, and industrial parts production are additional end markets served by the brand's dispensing systems.
Buyers seeking used Fluid Automation equipment on the secondary market are drawn to the brand's reputation for robust construction and long service life. The modular design of these silicone dispensers means pumps can be rebuilt in-house, keeping maintenance costs low and parts availability high even on older machines. The precision ratio control and closed-loop feedback built into Fluid Automation systems hold their value well because the underlying engineering remains relevant to current LSR molding requirements, making a used Fluid Automation silicone dispenser a cost-effective entry point for manufacturers processing RTV or LSR materials.
