The BusyBeeFarm is including useful information and specifications for the   Sticky Machine.

 Providing standardization everywhere possible.

 

 

 

 

Color coding the component functions. For quickly identifying and following the component trace. ie.The Fill line: the valve wire(red), the piston tube (red)

Using standard nuts and bolts.

3 tools needed for the machine. Pliers, small screwdriver, and hex wrench.

 

Straws: Polypropylene straws can be utilized up to 225F before wall distortion may occur. Straws have a flash point of 525F.

 

Electrical: Normal system operation temperatures should be 50-100F

The Power supply. Controller, Terminal bus all have a rating of 0-55C.

 

Pneumatic/Mechanical: The air cylinders, valves, and the injector have million cycle repeatability. With years of experience behind those manufactures of the parts selected. Dependability, and reliability are guaranteed. The tube has 220 PSI rating.

 

Aluminum: High tensile extruded aluminum. (What more can? I say about that) Really Durable.

 

Acrylic: Chemical resistant, Isopropyl alcohol will shine it up nicely, but hot water with a bit of bleach will also do wonders. No direct bleach.

 

Honey and Fluids:  Any fluid thicker than Vegetable Oil should be at 130deg.F. It all comes down to flow of fluid without air in the straw, consistently. Even chocolate syrup flows nice at 130, Maple syrup like a dream.

A toggle switch primes the line, and runs to clean cycle the Injector. WHICH you MUST do if it is going to sit more than a hour or two. When fluids cool they thicken a bit which = slower output until the line warms up.
