Abstract: A fluid regulator includes a poppet valve within a flow path that selectively allows a flow of fluid to move from an inlet to an outlet. A threaded regulating interface adjusts a spring tension exerted toward the poppet valve and defines a regulated flow of the fluid through the flow path. A fluid purge mechanism is positioned within the threaded regulating interface. The fluid purge mechanism operates along a rotational axis of the threaded regulating interface and adjusts a boundary of the flow path and manipulates the poppet valve to a maximum operating position to define a purging flow of the fluid. A programmable logic controller cooperates with the powered actuator and a pressure sensor to define a closed-loop interface that adjusts the regulated flow of the fluid through the flow path.

Abstract: A fluid regulator includes a housing that includes a flow path extending from an inlet to an outlet. A poppet valve is disposed within the flow path and that selectively allows a flow of fluid from the inlet to the outlet. A regulating interface adjusts a spring tension that is exerted toward the poppet valve. The regulating interface defines a boundary of the flow path and the spring tension defines a regulated flow of fluid through the flow path from the inlet to the outlet. A fluid purge mechanism is positioned within the regulating interface. The fluid purge mechanism adjusts the boundary of the flow path and manipulates the poppet valve to a maximum operating position to define a purging flow of the fluid from the inlet to the outlet.

Abstract: A material delivery assembly includes a delivery fitting attached to a drive shaft and including an outer wall that extends perpendicularly from a receiving surface. Apportioning slots are defined within the outer wall. A dispersion chamber is defined within the outer wall and the receiving surface. A material delivery conduit extends to a delivery port located within the dispersion chamber and is proximate the receiving surface of the delivery fitting. The material delivery port selectively delivers a viscous material to the receiving surface. The drive shaft and the delivery fitting are rotationally operated to define an apportioning state of the delivery fitting that is configured to manipulate the viscous material toward an inner surface of the outer wall. The apportioning slots in the apportioning state are configured to regulate passage of the viscous material from the dispersion chamber, through the outer wall and into a disk-shaped spread pattern.
