Glue Dilution Pump Skid Systems

A Glue Dilution skid system is a pre-engineered, automated system designed to accurately dilute concentrated glue or adhesive to the correct process-ready concentration, then deliver it consistently to the point of use in production lines. The system typically includes precision metering pumps, water addition, mixing, agitation, controls, and instrumentation mounted on a compact skid for plug-and-play installation.

Crane Engineering’s Glue Dilution Skid Systems are designed with flexibility and precision in mind. These systems are capable of:

• Accurately diluting concentrated adhesives to exact ratios.
• Delivering consistent glue to one or multiple application points.
• Running multiple recipes with automated switching and control.
• Reducing manual labor needs by up to 80%.
• Cutting adhesive waste by as much as 15%.
• Handling a wide range of adhesives and resins, including starch-based and synthetic blends.
• Supporting closed-loop operation with quality assurance feedback.

The plug-and-play configuration means installation is simple, with minimal disruption to your current production setup.

Benefits of Glue Dilution Pump Skid Systems

Glue dilution skid systems offer a smart, efficient way to handle adhesive preparation with minimal error and maximum consistency. Companies turn to these systems to reduce waste, ensure process reliability, and improve safety. By automating the dilution process, these systems eliminate common issues like inconsistent glue strength, excessive material usage, and manual mixing errors.

Facility managers and engineers will appreciate:

• Improved product quality through precise and consistent glue concentration.
• Reduced operating costs with lower glue and water consumption.
• Safer working conditions by minimizing manual handling of adhesives.
• Operational efficiency with fewer off-spec batches and reduced downtime.
• Smaller footprint thanks to compact, skid-mounted designs that fit tight spaces.

Crane Engineering’s Approach to Skid Specifications

Crane Engineering builds each skid system to meet the unique needs and requirements of each customer. 

We work with each client to discuss several key factors, including:

• What is the application and use case?
• What are your current challenges in the process?
• What are the facility footprint constraints?
• What are the technical specifications? (e.g. concentration, flowrate, and pressure)
• What is the best design for the facility? 
• In what form is the material received?
