I am curious as to why you need to mix.... We use a 500g cartridge with air gun. Our process is remove the cartridge from the fridge, allow it to warm up to room temperature before inserting into air gun, then apply bead of paste to the stencil. N

My group supports a couple hundred lines all over the world. Most of them use squeegees but a few use either the MPM Rheometric pump heads or the DEK Proflow heads. I absolutely hate the enclosed heads. Flux separation, compaction, and the print q

We've used mostly cartridges for many years and I only saw separation once when a particular paste supplier had a problem. With cartridges it's just thaw and use - no mixing. We have some sites that use jars along with mixers and I've never been co
