Product Name
MedMix MCH 08-32T Mixing Nozzle-Round Helix Bell Style
Brief Description
The MedMix MCH 08-32T is a disposable static mixing nozzle engineered for the precise and homogeneous blending of two-part adhesives, sealants, and resins. Featuring a round helix bell style inlet, it is specifically designed for use with 1:1 and 2:1 ratio 200ml, 400ml, 600ml, and 1500ml 2-part C-System cartridges. This nozzle eliminates the need for manual mixing, thereby ensuring consistent material properties, reducing application errors, and minimizing material waste.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Bonding and sealing applications in the automotive and aircraft assembly sectors.- Structural bonding with various two-component materials such as epoxy, polyurethane, and methyl methacrylate (MMA) adhesives.- Potting and encapsulating sensitive electronic components.- Sealing and bonding in construction, including concrete repair and general home building.- Manufacturing of composites, often involving polyester resins.- Assembly and repair of wind turbines.- Diverse industrial manufacturing and production processes requiring two-component material application.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Aerospace/Defense- Automotive Service/Repair- Chemical Industry- Construction/Building Services- Electrical Services or Products (for electronics, potting)- Energy (e.g., wind turbine assembly)- General Manufacturing- Industrial Supply- LED/Electronics- Marine- Metal Fabrication- Mold Making/Casting (for potting/encapsulating resins)- Petroleum Industry, Products or Services (e.g., refinery applications)- Plastic Fabrication- Transportation/Specialty Vehicle
Special and Unique Features
- **Round Helix Bell Style:** Incorporates traditional helical mixing elements for effective and consistent material blending.- **Bell Style Inlet Fitting:** Designed for secure and reliable attachment to standard C-System cartridges using a retaining nut.- **High Element Count (32 elements):** Features 32 mixing elements to ensure thorough and homogeneous mixing, particularly suitable for medium to thicker viscosity materials.- **Stepped Tip Outlet:** Provides precise control over material dispensing and can be trimmed to adjust flow rate or fitted with luer adapters for finer application tips.- **Disposable Design:** Eliminates the need for cleaning mixing tools, preventing cross-contamination and premature curing of materials.- **Wide Cartridge Compatibility:** Compatible with 200ml, 400ml, 600ml, and 1500ml C-System 2-part cartridges.- **Ratio Versatility:** Effectively mixes both 1:1 and 2:1 ratio two-part adhesive formulas.
Key Properties
- **Mixer Type:** Static, Helical.- **Number of Elements:** 32.- **Inner Diameter:** 8mm (0.315 inches).- **Length:** Approximately 11.3 inches (287mm).- **Material:** Constructed from high-grade Polypropylene (PP) for both housing and elements, ensuring chemical resistance and silicone-free operation.- **Viscosity Recommendation:** Recommended for medium to thicker viscosities, typically 80,000 cP or higher.- **Retained Volume (Waste Volume):** Approximately 10.90 ml.- **Pressure Rating:** Safe for use up to 100 psi.
Surface Compatibility
The MedMix MCH 08-32T mixing nozzle itself does not have surface compatibility in the traditional sense. However, the two-part adhesives and sealants dispensed through this nozzle are compatible with a wide array of surfaces, including:- Metals- Plastics- Composites (e.g., fiberglass)- Concrete, masonry, and wood- Glass (e.g., windshields)- Various other substrates, depending on the specific adhesive chemistry (e.g., epoxy, polyurethane, silicone, acrylic, methacrylate).
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other MedMix (formerly Sulzer Mixpac) static mixers, such as Quadro (square helix) designs like the MedMix MCQ-08-32T, which offer different mixing efficiencies and waste volumes.- Static mixing nozzles from alternative manufacturers including Nordson TAH, 3M, Fisnar, and Re Mixers.- Mixers with different element designs (e.g., square/Quadro elements versus helical).- Nozzles featuring different connection types (e.g., bayonet, integral nut) to suit various cartridge systems (e.g., A-System, B-System, F-System).
Comparison Note
The MedMix MCH 08-32T, with its round helix bell style and 32 elements, stands as a standard and reliable choice for achieving a consistent and homogeneous mix of medium to high viscosity two-part adhesives from C-System cartridges. While alternative designs, such as Quadro (square) mixers (e.g., MCQ series), may offer enhanced mixing efficiency in a shorter length and potentially less material waste for specific viscosities, the MCH 08-32T provides a widely adopted and robust solution for a broad spectrum of industrial applications. Its disposable nature streamlines operations by eliminating manual mixing and subsequent cleanup, thereby contributing significantly to improved product quality and application consistency.
