Ritter KSM 18K Helical Static Mixer With Bell Connection

Description

Ritter KSM 18K is a helical static mixer for two-component cartridge adhesive and sealant dispensing where a bell connection mixer is specified. The listed 18 mixing elements and 213 mm, 8.4 inch length give shops a long disposable mix path for cartridge-packed epoxies, acrylics, silicones, and urethanes.

Ritter KSM 18K Benefits

• Eighteen helical elements divide and recombine A and B streams before the material reaches the bead.
• Bell connection format supports cartridge systems that call for this mixer style.
• 213 mm length gives a long mixing path for materials that need more residence through the nozzle.
• Disposable nozzle design keeps cured adhesive out of the next cartridge change.
• Lightweight mixer stock is easy to stage at assembly benches, repair carts, and field kits.

This mixer belongs in the same process notes as the cartridge ratio, adhesive viscosity, and approved dispensing gun. Match the nozzle to the adhesive maker’s current recommendation before releasing a job to production.

Ritter KSM 18K Applications

• Two-part adhesive dispensing from compatible cartridge packages.
• Epoxy and acrylic bonding in countertop, sign, and industrial assembly work.
• Sealant or silicone applications where a bell connection mixer is required.
• Repair kits that need fresh mixers for each cartridge or work interval.
• Production cells where mixed bead quality must stay consistent from part to part.

Surface Preparation and Use

Prepare substrates according to the adhesive data sheet before attaching the mixer. Clean dust, oil, release agent, and loose material from the bond area so the mixed adhesive can wet the surface. Seat the mixer fully on the cartridge and confirm that both components are flowing before applying material to a part.

Purge a small amount of mixed adhesive until the bead looks even. Replace the mixer when the adhesive working time has passed, when pressure rises, or when the bead shows streaks. Forcing material through a cured mixer can damage cartridges and leave unmixed adhesive in the joint.
