Optimum Cartridge Retainer Systems
Molded from high-tensile, clear plastic, Optimum® cartridge retainers make it easy to visually monitor fluid levels during dispensing – an industry first.
Overview
Large, textured ribs provide an ergonomic grip for simplified retainer cap installation. Locking tabs snap into dents on the retainer body with an audible click to confirm proper installation with minimal effort. This keeps cartridges secure within the retainer during use.
A convenient push-in air line connector on top of the cap eliminates the need for bayonet connectors.
Retainer systems are available in 2.5 oz (75 ml), 6 oz (180 ml), 12 oz (360 ml), 20 oz (600 ml) and 32 oz (960 ml) capacities. In addition, Nordson EFD offers retainer systems with 7.0 bar (100 psi) pressure regulators. 1.0 bar (15 psi) pressure regulators are sold separately.
