Modern sealant formulations keep getting harder to handle. Higher viscosities and filled compounds strain standard pumps. Inconsistent flow leads to wasted material and rework. Downtime from clogs or leaks slows your whole production line. Manufacturers need advanced sealant dispensing systems built for these tougher, thicker materials.

Piston Pump Packages, Fully Configured for You

ARO's advanced sealant dispensing systems go beyond the pump itself. We deliver complete sealant application systems that combine pumps, accessories, and controls for reliable material handling. Every component is matched to your fluid and process requirements.

Our portfolio handles a wide range of sealant chemistries, including:

  • Silicone and RTV sealants
  • Polyurethane sealants
  • Acrylic and butyl sealants
  • Epoxy and structural sealants

Piston pumps serve several roles in a high-viscosity sealant dispensing system. They extrude thick sealants and caulking through applicator guns or valves. They transfer material from drums or totes to the point of use. They also circulate fluid back to the container in continuous-loop systems. The right pump depends on your sealant's viscosity and your process demands.

Two proven pump technologies anchor the lineup:

  • Chop-Check piston pumps handle materials from 15,000 to over 1,000,000 cPs, with flow rates up to 46 L/min (12.2 gpm). Primer design prevents cavitation with non-leveling sealants, and flat mechanical valves eliminate stringing.
  • 2-Ball piston pumps manage low- to medium-viscosity sealants up to 100,000 cPs, delivering up to 68.6 L/min (18.1 gpm). A dual-ball valve system ensures smooth, consistent delivery.

Custom Configurations Through the ARO Solution Centers

Standard configurations don't always fit every application. The ARO Solution Centers designs  and assembles custom pumping systems around your specific process. Our team works directly with you to understand your material, environment, and performance requirements.

From simple pump-and-accessory packages to multi-component sealant dispensing systems with electronic controls, we handle the engineering, sourcing, assembly, and testing. You receive a complete system that's tested and ready to install. Whether your application is straightforward or highly specialized, our team can configure a solution that fits.

We also work directly with system integrators and OEMs building sealant dispensing equipment into larger production lines. Our team supports pump selection from early design through final integration.

Key Benefits of ARO Sealant Dispensing Systems

Choosing the right system affects quality, uptime, and total cost. ARO systems deliver:

  • Reliable, consistent flow control across sealant viscosities
  • Precise dispensing that reduces waste and improves quality in industrial sealing applications
  • Durable construction for abrasive and humidity-sensitive materials
  • Fewer moving parts for simpler maintenance and less downtime
  • Leak-free performance for safe, continuous operation
  • Easy integration with automated or manual dispensing setups

Frequently Asked Questions

High-viscosity sealants create greater resistance during pumping and dispensing. Standard pumps may experience cavitation, inconsistent flow, or material stringing. Specialized piston pump technologies help maintain controlled flow rates and reliable application performance.
