Abstract: A fluid dispensing apparatus may be provided that includes a fluid reservoir configured to hold a liquid fluid. The fluid dispensing apparatus may include fluid output zones with at least one of the fluid output zones including plural fluid pumps. Each of the fluid pumps may have a flow rate at which the liquid fluid is pumped by the fluid pump. A slot die may also be provided that has a slot for each of the fluid output zones. The fluid dispensing apparatus may also include a relief valve mechanically connected to each of the fluid pumps, and a control device. The control device may be functionally connected to each relief valve, and the control device may be adapted to selectively instruct each valve to open or close to produce differing volume rates of fluid through each slot based on the relief valves selected.
