Product Name
Piston Kits for Meritool PowerPush 7000-400 series - 400ml 2-Part Cartridges (1:1, 2:1, 4:1, and 10:1 ratios)
Brief Description
These Piston Kits are essential conversion components designed for the Meritool PowerPush 7000-400 series battery-powered, two-component (2K) adhesive and sealant dispensers. They enable the dispenser to accurately process 400ml (and sometimes 375ml, 415ml, or 490ml) 2-part cartridges with various mixing ratios, including 1:1, 2:1, 4:1, and 10:1. By simply replacing the existing piston disk with the appropriate kit, users can quickly adapt their dispensing tool to different material requirements, ensuring precise and consistent application of reactive materials.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Bonding and sealing applications across various materials- Potting and encapsulation tasks- Structural adhesive work requiring high force and precise mixing- Gap filling and general repair operations- Chemical anchoring in construction- Epoxy injection for concrete repair and other uses- Automotive glass replacement and other automotive repair tasks
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Automotive Service/Repair: For applications like windshield bonding and other vehicle assembly/repair tasks.- Construction/Building Services: Utilized in chemical anchoring, concrete repair, sealing expansion joints, and general construction bonding.- General Manufacturing: Employed for product assembly, bonding, sealing, and potting in various manufacturing processes.- Metal Fabrication: For bonding and sealing metal components and structures.- Fabrication: Broadly used in any fabrication process requiring precise application of two-component adhesives and sealants.- Aerospace/Defense: For high-precision bonding and sealing of critical components.- Medical Device/Prosthetics: Where accurate and consistent dispensing of specialized adhesives is crucial for assembly.
Special and Unique Features
- Multi-Ratio Compatibility: Allows a single Meritool PowerPush 7000-400 series dispenser to handle multiple mix ratios (1:1, 2:1, 4:1, 10:1) by converting the piston set.- Quick Conversion: Designed for easy and fast interchangeability, minimizing downtime when switching between different cartridge ratios.- Precision Dosing: Contributes to the dispenser's ability to provide precise and consistent material flow, crucial for two-component materials.- Durable Components: Engineered for robust performance in demanding industrial environments.
Key Properties
- Material: Typically made from durable plastics or metals to withstand dispensing forces.- Compatibility: Specifically designed for Meritool PowerPush 7000-400 series dispensers and 400ml (or similar volume) 2-part cartridges.- Ratio Specificity: Each kit is tailored for a particular mixing ratio, ensuring correct material proportioning.- Ease of Installation: Simple removal and replacement of the piston disk.
Surface Compatibility
These piston kits themselves do not directly contact the bonding surface. Their compatibility is indirect, enabling the precise dispensing of two-part adhesives and sealants that are compatible with a wide range of surfaces, including:- Metals (e.g., steel, aluminum)- Plastics (e.g., PVC, ABS, composites)- Glass- Wood- Concrete and masonry- Ceramics
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other brands' piston kits: Piston kits or conversion parts from alternative manufacturers of 2-component cartridge dispensers (e.g., Nordson EFD, Cox, Graco, Sulzer Mixpac).- Manual 2-part cartridge guns: For lower volume or less frequent applications.- Pneumatic 2-part cartridge guns: Air-powered dispensers offering consistent flow, often used in production environments.- Automated meter-mix-dispense systems: For high-volume, high-precision industrial applications, often integrated into robotic systems.- Single-component dispensing equipment: If the application can be met with single-component adhesives or sealants.
Comparison Note
These piston kits significantly enhance the versatility and cost-effectiveness of the Meritool PowerPush 7000-400 series dispenser. Instead of requiring multiple dedicated dispensing tools for different adhesive mix ratios, these kits allow a single PowerPush unit to adapt to a broad spectrum of 2-part materials. This flexibility is crucial for operations that handle diverse bonding and sealing applications, streamlining inventory, reducing equipment investment, and improving workflow efficiency by ensuring on-ratio performance for various material viscosities.
