Volumetric Dispenser SBM 313
A machine specifically designed for the dosing of liquid products in the preparation of recipes for the industrial dyeing laboratory.
SALCE was the first company to introduce the concept of 100% volumetric dosing in a dyeing laboratory.
The volumetric dispenser has become the forefather of a completely innovative generation of machines, making it possible to apply new working methods in the laboratory.

The particular construction features of the dosing system, the true heart of the machine, together with the extremely simple and linear operating principle of the whole system allow to achieve excellent results in terms of:
PRECISION
REPEATABILITY
SPEED
REDUCED FOOTPRINT
DRASTIC REDUCTION OF MAINTENANCE COSTS AND TIMES
The quantity of liquid present in the pipette is dosed with a single movement and never drop by drop, unlike the gravimetric system. This allows to avoid any alteration due to the random size of the drops themselves, allowing maximum levels of precision, repeatability and speed of dosing.
Furthermore, the speed of execution of the recipes is increased by the fact that the system does not require a scale – present both in the gravimetric system and in the hybrid volumetric/gravimetric system – with relative stabilization times before the display finally settles on the weighted value.
The particular reliability of the dosing system is demonstrated by the fact that there is no need to place protections under the pipette to collect any drops lost during the movement of the bridge that moves it, nor is an additional scale required to verify the correctness of the volumetrically dosed quantity.
The absence of a scale (an instrument that intrinsically requires periodic calibration) makes the SALCE 100% volumetric dosing system free of calibration and consequently even more reliable and repeatable over time.
The use of a single pipette, a philosophy to which SALCE has remained faithful to this day, allows the certainty that the measurement of a certain quantity of liquid is always and in any case carried out by a single measuring instrument (the pipette, in fact) extremely precise and always identical for each dosage.
The absolute absence of tubes and valves and the presence of a single pipette reduce maintenance to the bare minimum, avoid occlusions and incrustations due to the deposit of residues, and reduce the need for washing on the various parts of the machine.
The extremely reliable and programmable pipette washing system with diversified treatments depending on the products used guarantees the total absence of any risk of contamination.
Main features of the volumetric dispenser:
- Built on a modular basis, the machine can be supplied in different configurations, with a number of bottles on request, in modules of 24
- Electronic precision +/- 0.001 ml
- Minimum measurable solution quantity 0.5 cc at 1% accuracy
- Expandable with integrated, independent and optional SALCE dyeing heads;
- 40 output beakers on removable and customizable trays for the possible use of external dyeing machine bushings;
- Possibility to use all dyes and auxiliaries normally used in a dyehouse;
- Real-time electronic control of dosing accuracy;
- Complete management of all machine functions via dedicated PC/PLC and control software;
- Total absence of contamination thanks to the pipette washing system that can be customized according to the category and concentration of dyes and auxiliaries used and to the fact that the pipette is not immersed in the liquid it takes;
- Possibility of having a special wash with detergents;
- Alternating and customizable stirring (intensity and duration) on the entire bottle plane;
- Automatic bath ratio;
- Interface with all the most popular colourimetry software
This machine, while remaining faithful to its original philosophy, has undergone constant evolution over the years and has grown with experience and thanks to the continuous exchange of ideas, opinions and suggestions with end users, integrating itself more and more into the most varied dyeing realities. The approval of hundreds of customers who use it daily and with full satisfaction on a worldwide scale is the most concrete and gratifying proof of this.
The natural complement of the volumetric dispenser is the Solution Maker SBM 3/1 SOL.
