Do you know how 1C empty aluminum cartridges are made?

What at first glance looks like an inconspicuous Aluminium Blank is the beginning of an impressive manufacturing process.

In the picture, you can see the finished cartridge on the right—and on the left, the Aluminum Blank that starts it all. It's hard to believe that such a compact piece of metal can be turned into a sturdy, functional cartridge with a precise thread—and in such a short time.
These discs are shaped into the characteristic cartridge form using a die and a press punch in an extrusion process. They are then cut to the desired length and the thread is rolled.

Why this is important:

1C empty aluminum cartridges offer maximum material purity, excellent moisture barrier properties, and are ideally suited for demanding adhesives in industry and construction.

Question:

Are you familiar with empty cartridges with M20 or M22 threads? Especially with high-viscosity adhesives, a large thread can provide a decisive increase in productivity during processing. And don't worry, matching nozzles have been available for a long time – you can find a complete overview in our Almanac on bonding and sealing.
We manufacture everything else you need using high-quality 3D printing with resins from Loctite.

Your advantage:

You get everything from a single source—because empty cartridges from Tubex Wasungen GmbH will also be available in small quantities from Innotech in the future. Of course, you can also obtain additional accessories from us as usual.

A big thank you to Tubex Wasungen GmbH for the demonstration parts and to Mr. Peter Sikabonyi for the production tour – insights like these are also exciting and valuable for us as a system provider.
