About Tridak
Systems for fluid packaging.
Tridak manufactures fluid packaging systems for a variety of industries including industrial, medical, dental, pharmaceutical, and food
preparation. Tridak’s filling systems for syringes and cartridges provide significant productivity gains over manual and other more
complicated and costly filling methods. The equipment is suited for all industry standard packaging as well as custom molded syringes
and cartridges. Tridak possesses the capability to fabricate nozzles and multi-port dispensing manifolds that perfectly match the
packages being filled. Single- and dual-component materials can be packaged in seconds, one at a time, or in multiples for higher
volume throughput. The equipment accommodates various mix ratios. High-pressure filling equipment is available for packaging
highly filled materials in tiny syringes or compoules.
Please note that most filling system applications are unique. Tridak does not warrant the fitness of the product for the intended
application. Any warranty applicable to the product, its application and use is strictly limited to that contained in the Tridak standard
Conditions of Sale. Tridak recommends that any intended application be evaluated and tested by the user to insure that desired
performance criteria are satisfied. Tridak is willing to assist users in their performance testing and evaluation. Data sheets are available
for pressure pots upon request.

Introduction
Introduction to the User Guide
This guide describes how to use the Tridak® Model 2400 High-Pressure Filling System (PN T10095). Sections
in this guide describe how to assemble, use, and maintain the filling system safely and efficiently.
Intended Audience
We prepared this user guide for experienced process engineers, technicians, and manufacturing personnel.
If you are new to filling systems and do not understand the instructions, contact Application Engineering to
answer your questions before using the equipment.

Safety
WARNING! If you use this filling system without first reading and understanding the
information in this user guide, injury can result. To reduce the risk of injury, read and ensure you
understand the information in this user guide before assembling and operating a Tridak filling
system.
General Safety Considerations
All users of Tridak filling equipment should read and understand this user guide before assembling and
using the equipment.
Specific Safety Considerations
Using Safe Operating Pressures
Pressurizing the components in the dispensing system beyond the maximum recommended pressure can
result in the rupturing of components and serious personal injury. To minimize the risk of rupturing
components and injury, do not exceed the maximum operating pressure of the components in your filling
system. (See system specifications on page 13)

Model 2400 High-Pressure Filling System User Guide
Preventing Injection Injury
Discharging fluids or compressed air with a dispensing tip against your skin can cause very serious injection
injury. To minimize the risk of injection injury, do not place the dispensing tip in contact with your skin.
Personal Protective Equipment
Operators are recommended to wear any personal protective equipment specified by their company’s
safety policy for the materials used during filling. Personal protective equipment should be in place and
used at all times before pressurizing the system and when handling any potentially hazardous materials.
Product Overview
Description of the Model 2400
The Model 2400 High-Pressure Filling System accurately fills packages with extremely high-viscosity
materials such as dental composites and restoratives. Due to their high content of “filler”, these materials
can be hard to dispense and can clog typical filling machines. The high-pressure filler uses a convection
oven to lower the viscosity of the material and then routes materials through the system and into the
containers using high pressure.
Special Features and Benefits of the Model 2400 System
▪Dispenses extremely high-viscosity, materials with high “filler” content
▪Includes a forced convection oven to lower material viscosity
▪Fills single or multiple syringes and up to 5 compoules simultaneously
▪Solid-state sensing system controls the amount of fill
▪Dimensions (W x H x L): 18 in x 11.125 in x 56.75 in [45.72 cm x 28.26 cm x 144.15 cm]
