Maximizing productivity while keeping personnel safely distanced is the main goal of Slide Products’ Freedom automatic spray unit. The plug-and-play system, said to handle repetitive spraying tasks, is considered an economical and reliable unit to help minimize movement of personnel on the manufacturing floor and maintain distance.

According to the company, the unit sprays metered quantities of solution to a small, targeted location, such as mold release on a troublesome mold cavity. With no hard wiring installation it is said to have a quick and simplified setup. For mold releases, a proximity sensor placed near the mold cavity detects when the mold opens and signals the unit to deliver release. Nozzles can be attached with brackets or optional magnetic mounting blocks to target the spray at specific areas on the mold, reducing waste and overspray.
