A fluid delivery system is provided as a modular system. The fluid
delivery system provides a fluid to a robotic spray applicator system
that may be used to spray a mold with a motor release compound or in-mold
coating. The fluid to be dispensed is contained in the drum and is
provided through a fluid circuit including a peristaltic pump, a filter
and a heater. The fluid is pumped through the fluid circuit to an
applicator that dispenses the fluid onto a mold. The system may also be
used in conjunction with adhesives or other compositions that must be
filtered, heated and provided to a spray applicator at a metered flow
rate. The fluid delivery system may be used in conjunction with a robotic
system. The displacement of the peristaltic pump may be controlled by a
variable frequency drive or may be controlled by a programmable logic
controller of the robotic system.
