Cox Airflow VBA 400B MR & VBA 400A MR Pneumatic 2-Part Adhesive Dispenser for 400ml & 200ml Multi Ratio (1:1, 2:1, 4:1, 10:1) Cartridge Sizes (A400HPMR)

Product Name

Cox Airflow VBA 400B MR & VBA 400A MR Pneumatic 2-Part Adhesive Dispenser for 400ml & 200ml Multi Ratio (1:1, 2:1, 4:1, 10:1) Cartridge Sizes (A400HPMR)

Brief Description

The Cox Airflow VBA 400B MR and VBA 400A MR are pneumatic (air-powered) dispensers designed for the precise and effortless application of two-component (2-part) adhesives and sealants from 400ml and 200ml cartridges. These multi-ratio dispensers can handle various mix ratios including 1:1, 2:1, 4:1, and 10:1, making them versatile for a wide range of industrial bonding and sealing applications. They are engineered for consistent flow and reduced operator fatigue in demanding environments.

Popular Applications & Uses

- Bonding various materials- Chemical anchoring- Dispensing 2-part epoxies, silicones, polyurethanes, and MMA adhesives- Applying sealers, sound deadeners, urethane plastic, and epoxy SMC repair materials- Large volume dispensing jobs- Assembly operations in manufacturing- Production line settings where compressed air is available

Industries that Commonly Use It

- Aerospace/Defense (for bonding and assembly)- Automotive Service/Repair (including collision repair, electric vehicle manufacturing, and railway applications)- Chemical Industry (for controlled dispensing of chemical products)- Construction/Building Services (for chemical anchoring and sealing)- Electrical Services or Products (especially in electronics for encapsulation and bonding)- Energy (such as in wind energy applications)- Fabrication (for general bonding and assembly tasks)- General Manufacturing (for factory and production line assembly operations)- Metal Fabrication (for bonding metal components)- Plastic Fabrication (for bonding plastic parts)- Transportation/Specialty Vehicle (for various assembly and repair tasks)

Special and Unique Features

- Pneumatic operation for consistent and effortless dispensing- Multi-ratio capability (1:1, 2:1, 4:1, 10:1) for broad adhesive compatibility- Accommodates both 400ml and 200ml cartridges- Air return as standard for efficient operation- Minimum trigger pressure for reduced operator fatigue- Ergonomic design for comfortable use- Quick exhaust valve to prevent material run-on- Side-loading or U-opening steel frame for easy cartridge insertion and removal- Adjustable air regulator for precise control of material flow- Durable construction with an aluminum handle and steel frame- CE and REACH approved for compliance- Designed for low to medium viscosity sealants and adhesives

Key Properties

- Provides fast, accurate, and effortless application of two-part materials- Ensures consistent material flow for uniform application- Facilitates precise mixing of two-component adhesives and sealants- Effectively prevents material run-on after trigger release- Operates with a maximum pneumatic pressure of 6.8-8 bar (100 psi)- Delivers a maximum thrust of 2.2kN (for VBA 400B MR)

Surface Compatibility

This dispenser is compatible with a wide range of surfaces indirectly, as its function is to accurately dispense two-part adhesives and sealants. The actual surface compatibility depends on the specific adhesive or sealant being used, which can include metals, plastics, composites, concrete, wood, and other common industrial substrates.

Comparison Note

The Cox Airflow VBA 400B MR & VBA 400A MR pneumatic dispensers offer significant advantages over manual applicators, particularly in industrial and production environments. They provide superior speed, consistency, and control, which is crucial for high-volume applications and dispensing high-viscosity materials that would be difficult or fatiguing with manual guns. The pneumatic operation ensures precise mixing and application, minimizes user fatigue, and prevents material run-on, leading to more efficient and higher-quality results.
