GP Reeves is a leading manufacturer of dispensing equipment. We engineer and build all aspects of a dispensing system from pump to nozzle; plus we have standard and custom options available for materials such as grease, oil, adhesives, sealants, 2k and more.
Our History
GP Reeves was founded in 1971 by Gordon Reeves in Grand Rapids, Michigan. At our founding, our focus was primarily on lubricators for assembly conveyor chains. While this is still a popular product of ours, our constant innovation over the past 50+ years has led
to the expansion of our product offering. In the mid 1980’s, our product line expanded to include various non-conveyor chain lubrication devices, and today we offer a large selection of material pumps, dispensers, accessories, and more.
Since we were founded, our products have helped thousands of companies improve their products and assembly processes through accurately measuring and dependably dispensing precise amounts of oil, grease, and other
assembly fluids, such as adhesives and sealants. We understand the frustration of trying to put together pieces that weren’t made to go together, which is why we offer every product you may need in your dispensing system, simplifying your process of putting a dispensing system together.
In addition to our standard product line, we can modify any product to meet your specific need, or design
a fully custom product if needed. With multiple patents and over 200 years of combined experience under our belt, you can rest easy knowing your dispensing process is in good hands.

DISPENSER TYPES
There are several types of material dispensers available, the most common types being positive displacement and timed. Each type has it's perks, but when it comes to precise dispensing, we strongly recommend the use of positive displacement dispensers. Unlike timed dispensers, the exact volume of material dispensed doesn't vary from shot to shot, no matter the external variants (such as temperature or viscosity). Positive displacement dispensers utilize a piston, or something similar to push out material equivelant to the volume of the piston, ensuring an accurate dispense every time. Timed dispensers will dispense for a set amount of time, but the exact volume can be impacted by external variants.
Recommended:
Positive Displacement Dispensers
Positive displacement dispensers can be adjusted and set once. Their positive displacement piston stroke dispenses like a syringe. Positive displacement dispensers can be trusted to repeatedly dispense identical amounts regardless of external temperature or material viscosity.
Nearly all GP Reeves dispensers utilize some sort of positive displacement dispensing. Many dispensers utilize a piston that works by transferring material under pressure through self-actuated or powered valves into and out of a measuring chamber. The powered piston controls the transfer volume and the transfer (dispense) is directly proportional to the piston area and piston travel. Our RotoMeter series utilizes various types of rotational dispensing in the form of gear, peristaltic, and progressive screw pumps.
Not Recommended:
Timed Dispensers
Timed dispensers function like a faucet and require frequent re-adjustment and constant monitoring. Timed dispensers cannot be trusted to repeatedly dispense identical amounts.
Timed dispensers work by moving material under pressure through an “Off-On” valve that is opened and closed by a solenoid valve controlled by a PLC or electronic timer. Pressure regulators and adjustable orifices are sometimes added to control flow rate.
Material's flow characteristics are often unpredictable meaning timed dispensers are not capable of accuracy and repeatability. The exact volume of how much is on the part is an unknown unless a weight is measured of each part before and after.
APPLICATIONS
We have been spent over half a century perfecting material dispensing. Our experience ranges over variety of industries and environments. Not only do we produce dependable and reliable dispensing systems, but we also engineer and build custom equipment to meet your specific needs, no matter the industry. Prior to using our equipment, customers are often applying materials by hand which yields not only time loss but wasted material. Fully automated dispensing systems like the one below provide the highest level of precision expertly designed for your specific part.
The above photo shows a messy, brushed on application of grease to an HVAC part on the left, and what our custom nesting was able to accomplish on the right. Not only does the application look cleaner, but you can be assured that the precise amount of material is in the correct spot every time.
Our portfolio of work is constantly evolving, we would love to chat with you about your application!

CUSTOM NESTS, NOZZLES, & TOOLING
GP Reeves specializes in creating the ideal dispensing aparatus for any application. From custom spray nozzles to multi-part nests, we've done it all.
CONFIRMATION DEVICE BREAKDOWN
We offer several different confirmation devices. These devices are suggested to be used as redundant verification only. Choosing one is based solely on what your specific project needs are. There are three main categories of confirmation devices: flow, pressure, and volume. Flow confirmation devices are the most common, and usually the most basic. Pressure confirmation devices are mid-level, and volume confirmation devices are generally the most advanced. It is important to remember that flow, pressure, and volume, though related, are all different.
Feed Pressure Confirmation
What is it?
These devices are designed to be mounted between supply (pump) and the dispenser with the purpose of confirming proper feed pressure.
We have pressure confirmation devices that provide digital, analog, discrete, PNP, or NPN feedback with up to 3,500 PSI. These can be set to a specific range, and it will trigger a signal to the system/controller if outside set range.
When would you need it?
These devices are used to confirm correct feed pressure of a system.
Examples – Verification of material supply from pump/source – Confirmation of correct regulator settings
System Example
Flow Confirmation
What is it?
In general, flow confirmation devices do just that, confirm if there is flow through the device. These devices mount between the dispenser and tooling.
We offer three different types of flow confirmation devices based on function and feedback signal. Each type has it’s advantages, and all are useful in different scenarios. Some of our devices just confirm flow – a simple yes or no. Others provide variable feedback that can be used to adjust the device.
All flow confirmation devices are meant to detect flow failure for critical dispense points.
When would you need it?
Flow confirmation devices come in handy in any situation where you want to double check that material is flowing.
Examples
– Cloggled nozzle in part nest
– Verification of air pressure
– Detection of small air bubbles
System Example
Nozzle Pressure Confirmation
What is it?
These devices are designed to be mounted between the dispenser and the tooling with the purpose of confirming proper pressure.
We have pressure confirmation devices that provide digital, analog, discrete, PNP, or NPN feedback with up to 3,500 PSI. These can be set to a specific range, and it will trigger a signal to the system/controller if outside set range.
When would you need it?
These devices are used to confirm proper pressure going to the nozzle of the system.
Examples
– Cloggled nozzle in part nest
– Detection of over-pressurization of nest parts – Disconnected line (low pressure)
System Example
Volume Confirmation
What is it?
Volume confirmation devices can measure the volume of material flowing through a device.
We have two specialized devices that confirms volume, VMFG and UFS. These devices can be placed anywhere in a system, though they are usually used between the dispenser and the tooling.
In addition to these devices, our AA dispensers are positive displacement dispenser with air removal and constant sensor positioning, which allows them to confirm volume as well.
When would you need it?
Volume confirmation is important if you want to confirm how much material flowed through a specific device. They should be used as confirmation devices opposed to control devices in a system.
Examples – Redundant volume verification – Continuous flow applications – Measure flow before a dispenser block

Mounting
VOLUME CONFIRMATION - MECHANICAL
Confirms volume of flow for critical dispense points. The VMFG devices are designed to mount between a dispenser and the tooling. They are used to confirm the proper volume was dispensed through the use of gears.
VMFG Flow Meters
How They Work: Material flows through precise gears to rotate them. The output is sent every time the gear is rotated. Each rotation is equivelant to a certain volume, depending on the model.
Advantages:
– Flow through device allows for continuous flow.
– Small footprint
Disadvantages:
– Does not work well with contamination
– Does not work well finding small air bubbles – Less accurate with thin material – Has to be calibrated – Requires high speed PLC input
Volume confirmation can also be achieved with use of an AA dispenser. AA dispensers acheive volume confirmation through positive displacement dispensing coupled with our patented air removal system and constant position sensing. We offer pneumatic and electronic (servo) versions of these dispensers in a variety of sizes. See AA pages for more information.

VOLUME CONFIRMATION - ULTRASONIC
These devices are designed to be clamped around any nylon tubing in your system. Ultrasonic waves monitor material flow and the volume dispensed is shown on the controller.
How They Work
Two signals facing opposite directions are being simultaneously monitored. This allows readings to remain consistent regardless of external factors such as clogging or temperature changes.
Advantages
– Does a great job finding small air bubbles – Does not disturb material flow – NPN, PNP, and IO link capable
Disadvantages
– Requires calibration
– Should not be used with material that has a separation percentage over 2% – Must be used with nylon tubing
UFS1000-6
FLOW CONFIRMATION - INDUCTIVE
Detect flow failure for critical dispense points. These devices are designed to mount between a dispenser and the end of arm tooling. They are used to detect flow in the line. Our inductive flow devices use an inductive proximity switch to send a signal to the controller to confirm flow. These devices do not measure pressure or volume – just the existence of flow. An inductive flow sensor is ideal where volume and pressure are not important, but confirmation of flow is important.
How They Work
A small plunger (monitored by a sensor) is moved by the material when material flows through the device. If the sensor light is off, it means material is flowing, if the light it on it means there isn’t any material flowing. The plunger is not moved by air bubbles when they pass through the device.
Advantages
– Simple to adjust and program – Does a great job finding small air bubbles – Inexpensive – Available as a GSS and GPMD option
Disadvantages
– Does not work well with material that has contamination – Must be mounted close to dispenser (or injector) to assure dispense velocity – Inductive flow sensors do not have volume confirmation

DISPENSE PATENT
Manufactured Under US Patent Number 6,053,285
This patent is only used on the GUS, Pump/GUS, and AA products. The GUS and Pump/GUS units find and remove the air before feeding downstream dispensers. The AA dispensers find and remove air during the dwell time or in between dispense cycles.
Overview
Purge valve
Dispense / transfer valve Fill valve
Metering rod (shown retracted or full)
Linear position sensor — monitors air piston position to provide PLC input. PLC is used to determine compression test results. Air cylinder Air piston
Cycle Steps
Fill the chamber — open fill valve and allow material to push the metering rod back to the full position.
Dispenser shown full of material X X X X
Test the material in the chamber — push the metering rod into the chamber full of material. Compression test shown without an air bubble.
Compression test shown with an air bubble
If compression within tolerance, dispense material — open dispense valve and push material out the dispense port
If compression above tolerance, purge material — open purge valve and push material out the purge port

GREASE VOLUME
The Paraboloid is a Natural Grease Dispense Shape
Grease volume is often expressed in cubic inches (“³) and cubic centimeters (cc). Cubic centimeter is also known as milliliter (ml) and the terms are interchangeable. Grease weights (often expressed in grams) can be converted to cc and ml (volume) by dividing the weight by the specific gravity of the grease.
Example: The volume of one gram (weight) of grease with a specific gravity of .88 is 1.14 cubic centimeters (1 / .88 = 1.136 cc).
Formula for Paraboloid Volume:
V = .3927d2 h, V = volume | d = diameter | h = height
The photo above shows the parabolic shape that often occurs when grease is extruded onto a flat surface from an open orifice type nozzle with the nozzle pulled away after grease was dispensed.
The volumes shown on the right are based on the height and diameter being equal.
Application Visuals on U.S. Dimes
Formula: V = 4πr³/3 | V = volume, r = radius
The sphere is not a natural grease dispense shape, but it is included because it is familiar.
Example: The 0.177 caliber (4.5 mm) diameter of a BB and a 1/4” diameter ball bearing are easily visualized by many.
