Since 1991, the year it was founded, Etraves has made it its primary mission to be a key partner for its customers. This is evidenced by our responsiveness in working alongside you and the various services we offer. Among these services is another form of packaging: two-component or dual cartridges ranging from 2 x 12 ml to 2 x 200 ml. What exactly does this entail?
In step with the technological evolution
A company that aims to be successful must not only adapt to the dramatic evolution of technology but also learn to meet the demands of the times. At Etraves, we’ve understood this for many years. That’s why, to better meet your needs—and to keep pace with the latest technological advancements in pistons featuring Sulzer Mixpac’s “airfree” system—we’ve invested in a new machine: the two-component cartridge filling machine. This technology is available, in particular, for Sulzer Mixpac’s 50-ml two-component cartridges with a 1:1 ratio, ensuring better product preservation.
Efficiency advantages
One of the remarkable advantages of this machine is the efficiency and speed with which it performs the pistoning process. Also, its use allows to drastically reduce the margin of error during the pistoning process. Indeed, a control is carried out on each cartridge at the end of the output. The purpose of this check is not only to ensure that the two pistons are at the same height, but also that there are no air bubbles or leaks. This safety measure allows Etraves to gain in efficiency in the realization of your work.
Our range of bi-component cartridges
While waiting to extend our services to a wider range of cartridges in the near future, i.e. with a standard volume of 200 ml and 400 ml, we ensure the pistoning of your product on 50 ml cartridges with a 1/1 ratio. Depending on the particularities of your product to be packaged, we aim at a progressive evolution that will allow you to make your choice in ratios between 1/2, 1/4 and 1/10.
The experience and professionalism acquired in our field, as well as the assistance of the bi-component cartridge sprayer, allow us to deliver cartridges in neutral state, labeled or with a simple inkjet identification marking. In addition, to better serve you, Etraves offers you the possibility to have a secondary packaging. For example, for products that are sensitive to humidity, we offer an overpack in an aluminum bag, with a desiccant bag.
An evolution of the Sulzer MixPac cartridges
To ensure our customers receive products that meet the highest safety standards, Etraves has partnered with Sulzer Mixpac for several years for its adhesive packaging services. Indeed, the products from this leading Swiss brand are known for being reliable, durable, and easy to use. Their two-component mixing solutions produce high-quality adhesive while minimizing the risk of product loss as much as possible.
Today, the Sulzer MixPac brand has undergone a notable evolution through the 50 ml system A and 200 or 400 ml system C cartridges that change respectively into system B and system F. These cartridges retain their main characteristics, in addition to being more efficient. This is justified by the particularity of their nozzle which allows to have :
- Additional security to prevent the product from curing
- Easy to reseal
- Unique use of Sulzer Mixpac mixing nozzles, considered the most reliable on the market.
