Product Name
MixPac Plungers for DS51 & DS53 Dispensers (PLS series, All ratios - 1:1, 2:1, 4:1, 10:1)
Brief Description
These MixPac PLS series plungers are essential replacement components designed for use with MixPac DS51 and DS53 manual two-component adhesive dispensers. They are specifically engineered to push two-part adhesives or sealants from S-Type (round-back) cartridges, ensuring accurate and consistent mixing ratios for a wide range of industrial and professional applications.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Dispensing two-component epoxy, polyurethane, silicone, and acrylate adhesives and sealants.- General bonding, sealing, and repair applications.- Precise bead application of various adhesives and sealants.- Fabrication and installation in the solid surface industry, such as Corian and similar materials, particularly with 10:1 ratio adhesives.- Potting and encapsulation of electronic components, commonly using 1:1 and 2:1 ratio adhesives.- Manufacturing and repair in the automotive and specialty vehicle sectors.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Construction/Building Services- General Manufacturing- Countertop- Cabinet & Woodworking- Automotive Service/Repair- Transportation/Specialty Vehicle- Medical Device/Prosthetics (specifically Dental applications)- Aerospace/Defense- Chemical Industry- Electrical Services or Products- LED/Electronics- Distributers & Resellers- Industrial Supply
Special and Unique Features
- Specifically designed for seamless integration and optimal performance with MixPac DS51 and DS53 manual dispensers.- Available to accommodate all common two-component mixing ratios: 1:1, 2:1, 4:1, and 10:1.- Compatible with S-Type (round-back) cartridge designs, including A-system and B-system cartridges.- Ensures consistent and precise metering of the two-component materials, critical for bond integrity.- Certain plunger models are engineered to work interchangeably with multiple ratios (e.g., one plunger for both 1:1 and 2:1 ratios, another for 4:1 and 10:1 ratios).- Part of the Medmix (formerly Sulzer) MixPac system, a globally recognized leader in mixing and dispensing technology.
Key Properties
- Material Composition: Typically constructed from durable plastics such as PP/HDPE.- Core Function: Facilitates the expulsion of two-component adhesives by pushing pistons through the cartridge.- Ratio Specificity: Each plunger is designed to match a particular adhesive mixing ratio (1:1, 2:1, 4:1, or 10:1).- Cartridge Compatibility: Engineered for use with 50ml S-Type adhesive cartridges.
Surface Compatibility
- These plungers are internal components of the dispensing system and do not directly interact with the application surface.- The surface compatibility is determined by the specific two-component adhesive or sealant being dispensed, which can bond to a wide array of materials including various plastics, metals, wood, and solid surfaces.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other MixPac PLS series plungers designed for different mixing ratios.- MixPac PLA series plungers, which are compatible with DMA/DMB 50ml dispensing guns (e.g., PLA 050-01, PLA 050-04, PLA 050-10).- Conversion kits (CK series) for MixPac DM-Series and DP-Series dispensers can alter the dispenser's ratio capability, serving as an alternative to requiring a different plunger or dispenser.- While MixPac (Medmix) is the industry standard, generic or third-party plungers designed for MixPac S-Type 50ml cartridges may exist.
Comparison Note
- MixPac PLS series plungers are specifically engineered for optimal integration and performance with MixPac DS51 and DS53 manual dispensers and S-Type 50ml cartridges.- Utilizing genuine MixPac plungers is crucial for ensuring the intended precision, reliability, and consistent mixing ratios of two-component adhesives, which directly impacts the quality and integrity of the final bond or seal.- These plungers are designed to seamlessly integrate with the dispenser's mechanics, helping to prevent common issues such as improper dispensing, cross-contamination between components, or premature curing within the cartridge.
