Static mixers

It depends on the material and the mix ratio. Published selection guidance puts acrylics at the low end of the range and polyurethanes and polysulfides at the high end, with higher ratios needing more elements.

Only within the same element design. More elements add pressure drop and leave more material behind as waste, so pick the shortest tube that gives a full mix on your material.

They are made for 50 ml A-system bayonet cartridges. Some cartridge interfaces are interchangeable and others are proprietary, so send us the cartridge part number or a sample and we will confirm fit.

Match the outlet to the bead or dot you need. The 1 mm outlet comes on the 3 mm core tubes and the 1.5 mm outlet on the 5.4 and 6.3 mm cores.

For some materials and at 1:1, it can be. Thicker or higher-ratio materials generally need more elements, so test the short tube against a longer one on your material before switching.

Unmixed streaks of resin or hardener leave the outlet and the bead cures unevenly or stays soft. If you see streaks, step up to a higher element count.

The two sizes we list are 1:1. High ratios need a mixer shaped to center the thin stream of catalyst, so ask us for a high-ratio version.

More elements give the material more passes to blend, which helps with harder-to-mix materials. The trade-off is a longer tube and more material left in it.

Both are made for the 50 ml B-system interface. Confirm your cartridge system before ordering, since B, F and K style outlets are not interchangeable.

No. Mixer colors are not standardized across suppliers, and some systems use color for caps or series rather than size. The colors here identify sizes in our range only.

Match the outlet to the flow your customers need. The yellow tube has the narrowest outlet and the purple the widest.

All four sizes are listed at 1:1. For 4:1 or 10:1 materials, ask us for a high-ratio mixer.

Bell inlets generally fit the most common large cartridges and meter-mix equipment. Send us the cartridge or machine outlet size and we will confirm the match.

Not on its own. Across the industry, mixer colors mark series or cap combinations as often as ratio, so select by size, element count and ratio rather than color.

At machine pressures a shroud stops the housing from swelling, which would let material bypass the elements. Ask us about shroud options for your tube size.

When the two components stay apart until they reach the mixer, they cannot react at the cartridge nose. That keeps the outlet from curing shut between uses.

No. On a cartridge system the ratio is set by the two cartridge cylinders, and the mixer only blends what it receives. Ratios of 4:1 and 10:1 usually need a mixer built to steer the minor component, so tell us your ratio before ordering.

Harder-to-mix materials and higher ratios need more elements. Start with the shortest tube that gives a uniform color and cure in a test bead, since longer tubes waste more material.

No. Bell and threaded interfaces are broadly shared, but proprietary quick-connect systems need an adapter made for that system. Send us the hole spacing and interface OD and we will point you to the right part.

The ports are sized for the ratio. The 1:1 head has two ports of about 7.8 and 7.4 mm, while the 10:1 head pairs a port of about 9 mm with one of about 4.6 mm.

Measure the center-to-center spacing of the two outlet holes and the outside diameter of the outlet interface. Those two numbers identify the adapter.
