Special and Unique Features
- Pneumatic operation ensures effortless use and minimizes operator fatigue.- Configurable for multiple mix ratios, including 1:1, 2:1, 3:2, 4:1, and 10:1.- Compatible with various 35ml-50ml 2-part cartridge styles, including A-System, B-System (Square-Backs), and S-System (Rounded-Backs).- Features an adjustable air regulator for precise and controlled pressure output.- Designed with minimum trigger pressure for enhanced user comfort.- Includes air return as standard and reverse air for fast plunger retraction, preventing material run-on.- Equipped with a quick exhaust valve to further reduce material drooling.- Features a front-loading cartridge frame for easy and quick cartridge changes.- Constructed from lightweight and durable glass fiber reinforced nylon for the handle and cartridge holder.
Key Properties
- Dispensing Type: 2-component pneumatic bead dispenser.- Cartridge Capacity: 50mL (1.7oz), also compatible with 35ml and 45ml cartridges.- Mix Ratios: Specifically for 4:1 and 10:1, but configurable for 1:1, 2:1, and 3:2.- Viscosity Compatibility: Suitable for low to medium viscosity materials.- Maximum Pneumatic Pressure: 3.5 bar (50 psi) for the tool, with a true adjustable air regulator offering up to 75 psi maximum output.- Maximum Thrust: 157 lbf (Nominal Thrust Force 235 lbs for CBA50).- Air Consumption: 40 litres/min.- Material: Handle and cartridge holder made from Glass Fiber Reinforced Nylon.
Surface Compatibility
This dispenser is designed to work with standard 50mL (and 35ml, 45ml) two-component cartridges. The compatibility with specific surfaces is determined by the adhesive or sealant being dispensed from the cartridge, not by the dispenser itself.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other COX pneumatic dispensers, such as COX Jetflow and various AirFlow models.- Fisnar pneumatic cartridge dispensers, including models like FCG-60, FCG-80, and FCG-120.- IntelliSpense™ pneumatic cartridge dispense systems.- Manual cartridge guns for applications requiring lower volume or less precision.
Comparison Note
Pneumatic dispensers like the Cox AirFlow 2 CBA50 offer significant operational advantages over manual dispensers, particularly in industrial and production environments. They provide precise, controlled pressure, which leads to consistent bead and dot patterns, and greatly reduce operator fatigue during high-volume or repetitive tasks. Features such as quick exhaust valves prevent material run-on, ensuring cleaner and more accurate applications. While the initial investment may be higher than for basic manual systems, the enhanced precision, efficiency, and consistent quality contribute to overall cost-effectiveness in manufacturing processes.
