Which Dispensing Mechanism Is Right for You?

Choose Adjustable Clips When:

• You want precise adjustment for a specific cup size.

• Cup sizes may change and require reconfiguration.

• You prefer a one-size-fits-all adjustable solution.

The STL and ADJ Series use a precision adjustment mechanism that allows operators to fit dispensers to a range of cup sizes.

Choose Interchangeable Baffles When:

• You prefer a self-adjusting dispensing system.

• Simplicity and ease of maintenance are priorities.

• Your operation uses cups that fit within the available baffle ranges.

The SLR and BFL Series use interchangeable silicone baffles and do not require adjustment during normal operation.
