Product Name

Ratio-Pak Accessories / Piston Venting Tool / Venting Tool for Non-Vented Pistons 7660945

Brief Description

The Nordson Ratio-Pak Piston Venting Tool 7660945 is an essential accessory designed for use with Nordson Ratio-Pak cartridge systems, specifically for non-vented pistons. Its primary function is to facilitate the release of trapped air, ensuring smooth, consistent, and accurate dispensing of two-part materials such as adhesives, sealants, coatings, and potting compounds.

Popular Applications & Uses

- Ensuring air-free dispensing of two-part adhesives in assembly operations.- Facilitating even flow of sealants in construction and manufacturing.- Preventing voids and inconsistencies when dispensing potting compounds for electronics.- Achieving uniform application of coatings in various industrial processes.- Optimizing the performance of Nordson Ratio-Pak cartridge systems by eliminating air entrapment in non-vented pistons.

Industries that Commonly Use It

- Aerospace/Defense: For precise application of structural adhesives and sealants.- Automotive Service/Repair: In vehicle assembly and repair involving two-part bonding agents.- Cabinet & Woodworking: For strong and consistent adhesive bonds.- Chemical Industry: Used by manufacturers and packagers of two-part materials.- Construction/ Building Services: For applying sealants and adhesives in various building applications.- Electrical Services or Products: For potting and sealing electronic components.- Fabrication: General bonding and assembly tasks across various materials.- General Manufacturing: Any manufacturing process requiring precise two-part material dispensing.- LED/Electronics: For encapsulating and bonding sensitive electronic parts.- Marine: For sealing and bonding in boat and marine equipment manufacturing and repair.- Medical Device/ Prosthetics: For high-precision assembly and bonding of medical components.- Metal Fabrication: For bonding metal parts with two-part adhesives.- Mold Making/ Casting: For dispensing resins and compounds accurately.- Packaging Services or Contractor: For specialized packaging requiring two-part adhesives.- Plastic Fabrication: For bonding and assembling plastic components.- Transportation/ Specialty Vehicle: In the assembly and repair of various vehicles and transportation equipment.

Special and Unique Features

- Specifically engineered for Nordson Ratio-Pak non-vented pistons.- Reusable design for long-term utility.- Prevents air entrapment, which can lead to dripping, oozing, and inconsistent fluid deposits.- Ensures uniform dispensing force and accurate, repeatable material deposits.- Contributes to efficient filling and handling of two-part cartridge systems.

Key Properties

- Material: Made from Polyethylene (PE), typically white.- Compatibility: Designed for use with Nordson Ratio-Pak cartridge systems and their non-vented pistons.- Functionality: Facilitates air release from the rear seal of cartridges.- Durability: Constructed for repeated use within industrial dispensing environments.

Surface Compatibility

This tool is not applied to a surface but is compatible with the internal components of the Nordson Ratio-Pak dispensing system. It works with:- Nordson Ratio-Pak non-vented pistons.- Nordson Ratio-Pak cartridges designed for two-part materials (foams, coatings, potting compounds, adhesives, sealants).

Known backups / known substitutes

- Self-venting pistons: Some Ratio-Pak cartridges are available with self-venting seals, which would negate the need for this separate tool.- Manual venting methods: Less efficient and reliable, often involving piercing or manipulating the piston, which can lead to inconsistent results or material waste.

Comparison Note

While some Nordson Ratio-Pak systems offer self-venting pistons, the Piston Venting Tool 7660945 provides a dedicated solution for existing or preferred non-vented piston configurations. It ensures the same high level of dispensing precision and material integrity as self-vented systems, preventing common issues like air bubbles and uneven application that can arise without proper venting. This tool is crucial for maintaining quality and efficiency when using non-vented pistons in critical two-part material applications.
