Description
The Nordson 7361697 OptiMixer is a high performance, 25 element static mixing nozzle from the Series 480 product family. Designed with Nordson’s patented OptiMixer flow path and wedge element improvements, this mixer delivers significantly improved blend quality in a shorter housing length. According to the manufacturer’s data, OptiMixers are engineered to be about 20 percent shorter than comparable square mixers while maintaining 30 percent less retained fluid volume, improving control and reducing material waste.
The 7361697 features an integral nut inlet and a stepped outlet, making it suitable for two component dispensing from u-TAH Universal cartridges, large volume Side x Side cartridges, 380 mL coaxial cartridges, and meter mix systems. With its 8.7 mm element width and 5.6 in housing length, this mixer supports precise, high efficiency dispensing for a variety of reactive adhesive chemistries.
