Piston insertion tool for Push-Pin Pistons. Used with MedMix and Maven 2-part adhesive cartridges. 200ml, 400ml, 1:1 ratio, 2:1 ratio sizes

Product Name

Piston Insertion Tool for Push-Pin Pistons

Brief Description

This tool is designed to efficiently insert and seal push-pin style pistons into 2-part adhesive cartridges (200ml, 400ml, 1:1, 2:1 ratios) from brands like MedMix and Maven. It ensures proper piston seating and air release, which is crucial for accurate and consistent dispensing of two-component adhesives and sealants.

Popular Applications & Uses

- Preparing 2-part adhesive cartridges for dispensing.- Ensuring air-free piston insertion in dual-component cartridges.- Sealing filled adhesive cartridges for storage and later use.- Standardizing the piston installation process in adhesive filling operations.

Industries that Commonly Use It

- General Manufacturing- Automotive Service/Repair- Construction/ Building Services- Aerospace/Defense- Medical Device/ Prosthetics- Metal Fabrication- Plastic Fabrication- Distributers & Resellers- Engineering Services- Prosumer

Special and Unique Features

- Specifically designed for push-pin style pistons (and some diaphragm-style pistons).- Facilitates air release during piston insertion to prevent trapped air.- Ensures standardized and easy piston installation.- Compatible with various cartridge sizes (200ml, 400ml) and ratios (1:1, 2:1).- Works with MedMix and Maven 2-part adhesive cartridges, as well as compatible Sulzer MixPac C-System and Nordson 2k cartridges.- Hollow design allows pressure application without touching the push-pin during insertion.

Key Properties

- Material: Typically durable plastic or metal (inferred from tool nature).- Compatibility: Designed for 200ml, 400ml, 1:1, and 2:1 ratio push-pin (and some diaphragm) style 2-part adhesive cartridges.- Function: Air-release and sealing during piston insertion.- Ease of Use: Simplifies and standardizes piston installation.

Surface Compatibility

This tool does not directly interact with surfaces for bonding. Its compatibility is with the internal components of adhesive cartridges.- Compatible with MedMix and Maven 2-part adhesive cartridges.- Compatible with push-pin style pistons.- Compatible with 200ml, 400ml, 1:1 ratio, and 2:1 ratio cartridge sizes.- Also compatible with Sulzer MixPac C-System and Nordson 2k cartridges that use outer push-in-pin style sealing pistons.

Known backups / known substitutes

- Manual piston insertion (less efficient, higher risk of trapped air).- Other specialized piston insertion tools designed for different piston types (e.g., diaphragm-style if this tool is strictly push-pin, though the search results indicate some tools handle both).- Cartridges with self-venting pistons (e.g., Nordson EFD AF Pistons) that reduce or eliminate the need for external tools during insertion.

Comparison Note

This piston insertion tool offers a significant advantage over manual methods by standardizing the piston installation process and effectively releasing trapped air. This leads to more reliable and consistent dispensing of two-part adhesives, improving application quality and reducing material waste. While some advanced cartridges feature self-venting pistons, this tool provides a dedicated solution for push-pin style pistons, ensuring optimal performance for compatible cartridge systems.
