Piston Insertion Tool Kit for 50 3:2 ratio 2-Part cartridges -MixPac AirFree Diaphragm-Style Pistons

Product Name

Piston Insertion Tool Kit for 50 3:2 ratio 2-Part cartridges -MixPac AirFree Diaphragm-Style Pistons

Brief Description

This specialized tool kit is designed for the efficient and standardized insertion and sealing of MedMix MixPac AirFree Diaphragm-Style Pistons into 50ml, 3:2 ratio, 2-part empty cartridges, specifically those of the MixPac B-System. It ensures that air is evacuated during piston insertion, which is a crucial step after filling operations to maintain material integrity and prevent contamination.

Popular Applications & Uses

- Sealing 2-part adhesive and sealant cartridges after manual or semi-automatic filling operations.- Preparing cartridges for dispensing two-component materials in various industrial and professional settings.- Ensuring air-free piston installation for optimal adhesive/sealant performance and shelf life.- Facilitating precise metering and mixing of two-component systems by preventing trapped air.

Industries that Commonly Use It

- General Manufacturing- Construction/ Building Services- Automotive Service/Repair- Electronics/LED- Aerospace/Defense- Marine- Medical Device/ Prosthetics (for precise two-component material handling)- Chemical Industry (for packaging and dispensing reactive materials)- Engineering Services (for prototyping and specialized applications)- Fabrication (general assembly and bonding processes)- Mold Making/ Casting (for two-part resins)- Plastic Fabrication (for bonding and sealing plastic components)- Prosumer (for high-end DIY applications requiring professional results)

Special and Unique Features

- Specifically designed for MixPac AirFree Diaphragm-Style Pistons, leveraging their advanced venting technology.- Features a bump or button on the tool that holds the piston and keeps the air release diaphragm open during insertion, allowing air to escape.- Enables a one-step insertion process, making filling safe, easy, and time-saving.- Ensures pistons are seated correctly every time, eliminating costly and time-consuming emptying and refilling due to trapped air.- Kit includes three different sized hand tools for various 3:2 ratio 50ml cartridges.- Designed for manual or semi-automatic filling operations, offering precision that manual insertion alone cannot guarantee.

Key Properties

- **Material Compatibility:** Designed for use with 2-part cartridges containing various adhesives, sealants, and other two-component materials.- **Precision:** Ensures accurate and air-free piston insertion for consistent material dispensing.- **Ease of Use:** User-friendly design for both beginners and professionals.- **Durability:** Built with high-quality materials for extended longevity and heavy-duty use.- **System Specific:** Optimized for 50ml, 3:2 ratio MixPac B-System AirFree Diaphragm-Style Pistons.

Surface Compatibility

- The tool itself does not directly contact the dispensed material or application surface. Its compatibility is with the MixPac B-System 50ml 3:2 ratio cartridges and their corresponding AirFree diaphragm-style pistons.- The integrity of the dispensed material (adhesives, sealants, etc.) within the cartridge is maintained due to the air-free sealing process facilitated by this tool.

Known backups / known substitutes

- **Automated Piston Inserters:** For higher volume operations, automated systems like the Nordson EFD Atlas 2K Piston Inserter offer pneumatic operation and can handle various cartridge sizes (50ml, 200ml, 300ml).- **Manual Insertion (without specialized tool):** While possible, manual insertion without a dedicated tool is prone to trapping air, leading to inconsistent dispensing and potential material waste.- **Other MixPac Piston Tools:** MixPac offers piston insertion tools for different cartridge sizes and mix ratios (e.g., 50ml 1:1 or 2:1 ratio cartridges).

Comparison Note

This Piston Insertion Tool Kit stands out from generic manual insertion methods by providing a standardized, air-free sealing process specifically for MixPac AirFree Diaphragm-Style Pistons. Unlike fully automated systems such as the Atlas 2K, this kit offers a cost-effective and portable solution ideal for manual or semi-automatic filling operations where precision and material integrity are paramount, without the overhead of larger machinery. Its specialized design ensures that the unique venting features of AirFree pistons are fully utilized, leading to improved shelf life and consistent dispensing quality compared to tools designed for older push-pin style pistons.
