Product Name
- Cox Airflow 3 Cartridge - Pneumatic 1-Component Dispenser 159336
Brief Description
- The Cox Airflow 3 is a professional-grade pneumatic (air-powered) 1-component dispenser designed for the fast, effortless, and precise application of sealants and adhesives from standard cartridges.- It is engineered to handle a wide range of viscosities, from low to high, ensuring consistent flow and reducing operator fatigue during extended use.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Applying various sealants, including silicones, acrylics, and polyurethanes.- Dispensing adhesives in industrial, constructional, and automotive settings.- Sealing and bonding operations requiring precise bead control and consistent material flow.- Production and refinishing operations where compressed air is available.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Construction/Building Services for sealing and caulking applications.- Automotive Service/Repair for vehicle assembly, sealing, and refinishing.- General Manufacturing for various assembly and bonding tasks.- Aerospace/Defense for specialized sealing and adhesive applications.- Industrial Supply companies for distribution to professional users.
Special and Unique Features
- Ergonomic design and lightweight construction for reduced strain and comfortable handling during long applications.- Built-in air regulator for precise control over flow rate and bead size, allowing smooth dispensing of varying viscosities.- Inbuilt silencer that minimizes noise to less than 70dB, making it suitable for indoor and professional environments.- Direct acting mechanism ensures air pressure is applied directly to the plunger for efficient dispensing.- Constructed with a glass-reinforced nylon handle and an anodized aluminum barrel for durability and long life.
Key Properties
- **Dispenser Type:** Pneumatic (air-powered) 1-component bead dispenser.- **Cartridge Capacity:** Primarily 310mL (10.5oz) and 400mL (13.5oz).- **Viscosity Compatibility:** Suitable for low, medium, and high viscosity sealants and adhesives.- **Maximum Pneumatic Pressure:** 6.8 bar (100 psi) standard.- **Weight:** Approximately 0.60-0.77 kg (1.3-1.7 lbs).- **Material:** Glass-filled nylon handle, anodized aluminum barrel.
Surface Compatibility
- The dispenser itself does not have surface compatibility; rather, it dispenses various sealants and adhesives that are compatible with a wide range of surfaces common in construction, automotive, and manufacturing, such as metals, plastics, wood, and concrete.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other models within the Cox Airflow range, such as Airflow 1 or Airflow 2.- Other pneumatic 1-component dispensers from manufacturers like MixPac (e.g., MixPac DP2 series for 2-part, but similar pneumatic concept).- Manual cartridge dispensers for applications where compressed air is not available or less frequent use.
Comparison Note
- The Cox Airflow 3 offers substantial productivity gains over manual applicators due to its pneumatic drive, providing effortless and consistent material flow.- Its ergonomic design, lightweight nature, and built-in silencer contribute to a more comfortable and user-friendly experience compared to many standard dispensers, especially during prolonged use.- The integrated air regulator provides a higher level of precision and control over bead size and application speed than typically found in basic manual or less advanced pneumatic models.
