Product Name
FHS MIXING NOZZLES FOR MIXPAC MIXCOAT-SYSTEM
Brief Description
FHS Mixing Nozzles are specialized components designed for the Sulzer Mixpac MixCoat system, which facilitates the precise and efficient application of 2-component coatings, adhesives, and sealants from cartridges. These nozzles ensure accurate mixing ratios of the two components and are crucial for achieving high-quality, consistent finishes while minimizing material waste.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Applying 2-component coatings, adhesives, and sealants for various industrial and repair tasks.- Small to medium-sized maintenance and repair jobs across diverse sectors.- Protective coatings for industrial equipment.- Corrosion-resistant coatings for pipelines.- Decorative finishes for consumer products.- Abrasion-resistant coatings on pipes, transportation equipment, bores, walkways, and conveyor equipment, particularly in mining operations.- Repair and rope work in offshore oil and gas, petrochemical, marine, and bridge repair applications.- Field joint coating and touch-up applications.- Application of complex, quick-set coating structures such as 100% solid epoxies, polyurethanes, and polyureas.- Spray-on truck bed liners and sealing membranes.- Secondary containment for tanks and sealing foundations and concrete pipelines.- Applications in confined spaces, utilizing specialized nozzle designs.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Aerospace/Defense- Automotive Service/Repair- Chemical Industry- Concrete- Construction/ Building Services- Energy (e.g., wind, pipeline, offshore oil and gas)- General Manufacturing- Marine- Metal Fabrication- Military- Petroleum Industry, Products or Services- Transportation/ Specialty Vehicle (e.g., rail, transportation equipment, truck bed liners)
Special and Unique Features
- Specifically designed for the accurate mixing and application of 2-component coating materials.- Ensures a precise and consistent mixing ratio, critical for coating performance.- Significantly minimizes material waste, leading to cost savings and environmental benefits.- Integral part of a portable and lightweight MixCoat system, ideal for on-site repairs and maintenance.- User-friendly design of the overall system, making it easy to set up and operate with minimal training.- Compatible with a range of large MIXPAC™ F-System cartridges, typically from 940 mL to 1500 mL.- Accommodates various cartridge mixing ratios, including 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, and 4:1.- Features like quick-lock air connections and dual-stage triggers enhance system usability and control.- Available in different configurations, including straight and 90-degree angled spray tips, for versatile application in various access situations.- Eliminates the need for pre-mixing or metering of components, simplifying the application process.- The cartridge-based system removes concerns about pot life, as components mix only at the nozzle.- Offered in various lengths, such as 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) and 3.0 meters (9.8 feet), for specific application needs.
Key Properties
- Guarantees a precise and consistent mixing ratio for 2-component materials.- Contributes to the high quality and uniform finish of the applied coating.- Designed for efficient material usage, reducing overall costs and waste.- Optimized for dispensing a variety of 2-component materials, including epoxies, polyurethanes, polyureas, and silicones.- Operates effectively with pneumatic dispensing systems, providing consistent power and control.- Incorporates advanced QUADRO™ Mixer technology for outstanding mixing efficiency.- Constructed from industrial-grade, silicone-free plastics for reliability and material compatibility.
Surface Compatibility
The FHS Mixing Nozzles themselves do not have surface compatibility, but the MixCoat system, when used with appropriate 2-component coatings, is compatible with a wide range of substrates. These include:- Industrial equipment- Pipelines- Bridges- Tanks- Wind turbine components- Rail infrastructure- Mining equipment (e.g., pipes, transportation equipment, bores, walkways, conveyor equipment)- Foundations and concrete pipelines- Various other substrates requiring protective, corrosion-resistant, or decorative coatings.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Traditional hand mixing and manual application methods (e.g., brushes and rollers), though these are typically less efficient and generate more waste.- Older drill mix systems, which require pre-mixing and metering of components.- Large and often expensive plural component spray equipment, which lacks the portability of the MixCoat system.- Other static mixer nozzles designed for 2-component adhesives and coatings, such as various models within the Sulzer Mixpac Statomix series (e.g., MFH, MFHX, MFQ, MFQX).- The MixCoat Manual system, used for non-spray applications or when a pressurized air supply is unavailable.- The MixCoat Dispense system, designed for non-spray type applications.
Comparison Note
The FHS Mixing Nozzles, as an integral part of the MixCoat system, offer a distinct advantage over conventional application methods. Unlike manual mixing or cumbersome plural component spray equipment, the MixCoat system provides a portable, user-friendly, and highly efficient solution for applying 2-component materials. It ensures precise mixing ratios, minimizes material and labor costs, and significantly reduces waste, setting a new professional standard for coating applications, particularly for small to medium-sized repair and maintenance tasks.
