Known backups / known substitutes

- Other Nordson EFD static mixer series, such as Series 161, 162A (high flow), 190 (bayonet connection), 260, 280, 295 (compact turbo), and 480 (OptiMixer with reduced retained volume).- Mixpac™ 2C C-System cartridges, which are compatible with these nozzles.- Generic or third-party replacement static mixers designed to fit Nordson dispensing systems.- Static mixers from competitors like Sulzer.

Comparison Note

The Nordson Series 160 is a well-established disposable spiral bell mixer, highly regarded for its versatility with large volume cartridges and its effectiveness in mixing thick, high-viscosity two-part materials. While other Nordson EFD series offer specialized features, such as the Series 480 for reduced retained volume or the Series 162A for high flow rates, the Series 160 remains a popular choice for general-purpose, heavy-duty mixing applications.
