Ashby Cross



Founded in 1976, Ashby Cross Company is a manufacturer of adhesive and fluid dispensing equipment for both single and plural component reactive materials.

We offer a full line of multi-component adhesive dispensing equipment for epoxy, polyurethanes, silicones acrylics, adhesive and structural bonding materials used in potting, encapsulation, coating, resin transfer molding (RTM), doming and sealing operations. All systems make use of static mixing or dynamic mixing.

Adhesive dispensing equipment is available in piston pump and gear pump versions, selected by viscosity and application. Both dispensing systems will provide you with reliable, repeatable metering technology for a wide range of applications including; potting/encapsulating electrical circuits, molding and mold making, filter manufacturing, structural bonding, adhesive dispensing and gasket forming.

Variable ratio and fixed ratio dispensing equipment is configured in fixed shot or variable shot versions. Accessories include Statomix® static mixers with high shear mixing, Dyna-Stat® dynamic mixing-head valves, and rotary mixing-head valves.

Dedicated to complete customer satisfaction, each system is subjected to detailed quality assurance testing, including operation of the system with you, the customer, and your material prior to shipment.

Whether your market is electrical, electronic, medical, aerospace, marine, white goods, leisure, automotive, or transportation, Ashby Cross has the right dispensing equipment for your application.

The AC125 adhesive dispensing system is designed with high quality and low up front cost in mind. The system combines the same components used in other Ashby Cross systems along with manual operation.

As a standard, are two, one-gallon tanks that feed the proportioning cylinders where the ratio of the material is established. Once the metering cylinders are full, the system is ready to dispense. By opening the manual mix/dispense valve (or optional drip-free automatic dispense valve), adhesive flows through the static mixer. When empty, the system is recharged by moving the “dispense/recharge” switch to the recharge position. The cycle repeats.

The unit can also be configured with larger tanks and an automatic, drip-free mix/dispense valve. This is operated with a foot pedal.

The AC125 is ideal for potting and encapsulating or R&D work.

1125 Variable Ratio Intelligent Dispensing System (IDS) adhesive dispensing system is a PLC based adhesive dispenser with touch screen interface. It is a piston and cylinder meter mix machine used for light or mid volume production potting applications. The dispenser is used for epoxy dispensing as well as urethane and silicone with ratios from 1:1 to 10:1 by volume. This meter mix machine can handle unfilled or filled abrasive chemistry. The machine is capable of shot sizes from 0.3 cc to 160 cc (ratio dependent). A wide range of options such as vacuum degas, heating and various tank sizes are available.

The IDS based 1125 VR is a menu based meter, mix that includes standard features such as five slots for storing different shot sizes, a pot life (anti-gel) timer, machine based shot control via digital encoder, cycle counters and cycle set points for process information and preventative maintenance. The standard Statomix® static mixer is used.
