In-line mixers are a type of nozzle mixer where components are placed as a permanent part of the dispensing line. Static dynamic mixers are a type of glue mixing nozzle that has moving parts but is not powered.
Types of Disposable Static Mixing Tips
There are also several different static mixer tips to fit different dispensing needs. The three most common are stepped, tapered, and Bigbong.
Stepped Tip – These tips can be cut at various points to increase the size of the adhesive bead being dispensed. The ends don’t require any adapters or needles to adjust bead size. The downside comes when fine dispensing is required.
Tapered Tip – Tapered tips are not adjustable, and for the most part, will not accept needles or fine tips. This is a simple and easy way to dispense common bead sizes.
Disposable Static Mixer Connection Types
There are a number of different ways to connect a disposable static mixer to your cartridge or meter mix equipment. The two most common connection types of static mixers are epoxy and Bigbong.
Epoxy Mixer – This type of static mixer connection will attach to a glue gun or more commonly, meter mix equipment using a retaining nut. After the nozzle is attached, the nut will slip over the top and screw into the equipment or gun.
Bayonet Mixer – This mixer is a twist and lock connector that is common for cartridge glue guns of all sizes.
