Product Name
Albion AT900 Pneumatic (Air Pressure) 900ml (2:1 ratio) 2-Part Dispensers
Brief Description
The Albion AT900 is a professional-grade, air-powered tool specifically engineered for the precise and controlled application of two-component adhesives, sealants, and other reactive materials. It is designed to dispense from 900ml (typically 600ml x 300ml) side-by-side cartridges with a fixed 2:1 mix ratio.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Bonding and sealing in various assembly operations- Potting, gasketing, and encapsulation of components- Structural bonding and adhesive installation- Joint sealing, crack injection, and concrete repair in construction- Dispensing seam sealers, sound deadeners, urethane plastic, and epoxy SMC repair materials in automotive collision repair- Ideal for large volume jobs and production environments requiring consistent material flow
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Aerospace/Defense- Automotive Service/Repair- Chemical Industry (for dispensing various two-part chemical formulations)- Construction/ Building Services- Concrete (for repair, crack filling, joint sealing)- Flooring Installer or Manufacturer (for joint filling and sealing)- General Manufacturing (for product assembly, bonding, and sealing)- Marine (for sealing and bonding applications)- Metal Fabrication (for bonding and sealing metal components)
Special and Unique Features
- Pneumatic (air pressure) operation ensures consistent material flow and reduces operator fatigue during prolonged use- Ergonomic design, often convertible between one-hand (suitcase) and two-hand configurations, provides improved control and comfort- Features a powerful 4-inch diameter cylinder for faster flow and increased productivity- Responsive trigger control and an easy-access regulator allow for precise and controlled material dispensing- Rugged construction, a hallmark of Albion quality, ensures durability and reliability in demanding industrial conditions- Designed for easy reloading, with a functional upright position that facilitates quick cartridge changes- Optimized for dispensing two-component Acrylics, Methyl-Methacrylate (MMA's), and Epoxies
Key Properties
- Power Source: Compressed air (pneumatic)- Cartridge Capacity: 900ml (accepts 600ml x 300ml twin side-by-side cartridges)- Mix Ratio: Fixed 2:1 ratio- Viscosity Compatibility: Suitable for medium to high viscosity sealants and adhesives- Thrust: High thrust, e.g., 1250 lbs at 100 PSI- Operating Pressure: Typically up to 120 PSI maximum operating pressure- Air Consumption: Approximately 1 CFM
Surface Compatibility
The Albion AT900 dispenser itself is compatible with standard two-part cartridge systems. The compatibility with various surfaces depends on the specific two-component adhesive or sealant being dispensed. These materials are generally formulated to bond effectively with a wide range of substrates, including metals, plastics, concrete, wood, composites, and other common building and manufacturing materials.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Manual 2-part cartridge dispensers (e.g., Albion B26T900 series)- Cordless (battery-powered) 2-part dispensers (e.g., Albion E18T825)- Pneumatic 2-part dispensers from other manufacturers (e.g., 3M Pneumatic Applicators, COX 2-Component Pneumatic Dispensers, Nordson EFD, Graco systems)- Automated dispensing systems for higher volume, integrated production lines
Comparison Note
Pneumatic dispensers like the Albion AT900 offer significant advantages over manual dispensers, providing superior consistency, faster application speeds, and reduced operator fatigue, making them ideal for high-volume or continuous industrial applications. While less automated than robotic dispensing systems, they offer a balance of precision, power, and portability, making them a versatile choice for many professional and production environments.
