Piston Insertion Tool for 50 2:1 ratio 2-Part cartridges -MixPac AirFree Diaphragm-Style Pistons

Product Name

Piston Insertion Tool for 50 2:1 ratio 2-Part cartridges -MixPac AirFree Diaphragm-Style Pistons

Brief Description

This specialized tool is designed for the efficient and standardized insertion and sealing of MedMix MixPac AirFree Diaphragm-Style Pistons into 50ml, 2:1 ratio, 2-part empty cartridges. It ensures that pistons are correctly seated and that air is evacuated from the cartridge, which is critical for the proper dispensing of two-component materials like adhesives, epoxies, and sealants.

Popular Applications & Uses

- Installing and sealing pistons into 2-part adhesive and material cartridges after filling operations.- Ensuring air evacuation during piston insertion to prevent voids and ensure consistent, high-quality dispensing of two-component materials.- Streamlining the adhesive packaging process for various industrial applications.

Industries that Commonly Use It

- Aerospace/Defense- Automotive Service/Repair (including eMobility and Batteries)- Chemical Industry- Construction/ Building Services- Distributers & Resellers- Electrical Services or Products (including Electronics Industry)- Energy (e.g., solar power installation, wind turbines)- Engineering Services- General Manufacturing- Industrial Supply- LED/Electronics- Medical Device/ Prosthetics- Packaging Services or Contractor- Transportation/ Specialty Vehicle

Special and Unique Features

- Specifically designed for MixPac AirFree Diaphragm-Style Pistons.- Features a unique 'bump' or 'button' that holds the piston and keeps the air release diaphragm open during insertion, allowing air to escape.- Facilitates complete air evacuation during piston insertion, preventing trapped air in the cartridge.- Ensures the piston automatically seals upon removal of the insertion tool.- Simplifies and standardizes the piston installation process, making it easy and repeatable.- 'Pick & Place' design allows the piston to stay securely with the tool for effortless insertion.

Key Properties

- **Compatibility:** Designed for 50ml, 2:1 ratio, 2-part MedMix MixPac A-System, B-System, and S-System cartridges.- **Functionality:** Enables precise piston insertion and effective air removal.- **Efficiency:** Streamlines the cartridge filling process, saving time and reducing potential errors.- **Reliability:** Ensures correct piston seating every time, contributing to consistent material dispensing.

Surface Compatibility

This tool is designed for interaction with the internal surfaces of 50ml 2-part plastic cartridges and the MixPac AirFree diaphragm-style pistons. It does not directly interact with the application surfaces of the dispensed materials. The materials typically dispensed from these cartridges include epoxies, adhesives, silicones, acrylics, and polyurethanes.

Known backups / known substitutes

- **Manual Piston Insertion:** Performing piston insertion manually without a dedicated tool is a less reliable and less efficient alternative, increasing the risk of air entrapment and improper sealing.- **Automated Piston Inserters:** For higher volume production, automated systems like the Atlas 2K Piston Inserter can be used, which also handle Air-Free Pistons across various cartridge sizes (e.g., 50ml, 200ml, 300ml).

Comparison Note

This Piston Insertion Tool offers a significant advantage over manual methods by providing a standardized, easy, and virtually air-free piston installation process for MixPac AirFree diaphragm-style pistons. While more automated and higher-volume solutions exist (e.g., Atlas 2K), this tool is ideal for manual or semi-automatic filling operations, ensuring precision and material integrity that manual insertion cannot guarantee. Its specialized design for AirFree pistons leverages their advanced features for enhanced shelf life and consistent dispensing.
