Can't find a suitable replacement static mixer, let us help you!

At present, due to the impact of the epidemic and other factors, there is a shortage of static mixers in the U.S. market, and the local supply chain is facing a policy crisis, which makes the seller's market unable to meet the buyer's market. This is undoubtedly a crisis in the static mixer industry.

However, the static mixer is a basic consumable in industrial production. In this case, seeking a suitable replacement mixing tube has become the best choice to solve the problem.

The more common brands on the market are Nordson, Sulzer, Mixpac, etc. Some of them can be replaced with each other. So how to choose a suitable alternative mixer, the following four aspects can be used as a reference.

1. The interface of the static mixer

The static mixer needs to be used with a two-component cartridge or dispensing system, so in order to ensure the firmness of the installation, an appropriate static mixer interface should be selected. Generally speaking, the interface of the static mixer is divided into bell connection, straight connection, B-connection(also called twist lock), F-connection, and thread connection.

 

2. The outlet of the static mixer

In the production process, in order to meet the needs of adhesive use in different scenarios, the glue outlet is divided into stepped, Luer lock, thread, straight, etc. Among them, the stepped type can be cut according to the needs, basically, all types can be connected to accessories such as dispensing needles.

 

3. The length of the static mixer

The length of the mixer is closely related to the mixing effect. For the same type of mixer, the longer the length, the better the mixing effect, but sometimes too long will not only affect the mixing efficiency but also cause waste, so you can choose other types of mixers.

4. Types of static mixers

The static mixers can be divided into round and square according to the shape and can be divided into spiral, square, and x-grid according to the mixing element. Their mixing efficiency X-Grid static mixer>Square static mixer>Spiral static mixer.

Therefore, when choosing a substitute for a mixing tube, these four aspects should be considered comprehensively. If it is the same type of static mixer, it is preferred to choose a similar length and number of mixing elements; if it is a different type of static mixer, the spiral static mixer can be replaced with a shorter square static mixer or X-Grid static mixer.
