Stanford Pulp Press 600 ml user manual:
Overview: The Stanford 600ml Caulking Gun is designed for dispensing a variety of sealants and adhesives, including silicone, acrylic and polyurethane. It is suitable for professional use and handling larger packages of caulking.

Introduction:

Prepare the paste: Use a 600ml bag or cartridge. If using a bag, cut a small piece off the corner of the bag for the paste to come out. If using a cartridge, cut the tip of the cartridge to fit and attach the nozzle provided.
Place the mass in the press:

Bagged media: Insert the media bag into the press tube from one end. Make sure the bag is placed straight and evenly inside the press tube.
Cartridges: Place the cartridge into the press tube and make sure its bottom rests against the press piston.

Push the plunger into place (if cartridge model): On some models, the plunger is separate and is pushed into one end of the press tube. Make sure the plunger is facing the right way and firmly in place.
Before grouting: Squeeze the handle a few times to start the compound flowing into the nozzle and to remove air bubbles.

Use:

Align the nozzle: Place the nozzle at the start of the joint to be sealed. The angle of the nozzle should be such that the compound is pressed evenly into the joint.
Apply the compound: Squeeze the handle in a smooth, controlled motion while pulling the clamp forward along the seam. Try to keep the pressure and speed of movement consistent so that the seam is the same thickness and width throughout.
Smooth motion: Avoid stopping in the middle of a seam if possible. If you have to stop, try to continue from the same point in a smooth motion.
Finishing the joint: Once the joint has been pressed, you can smooth it out with a silicone spatula, a damp finger (with gloves on) or a jointing trowel to achieve the desired finish. Do this immediately after applying the compound, before the compound starts to harden.

Changing the pulp and emptying the press:

Release Pressure: When the job is complete or you are changing the pack of adhesive, release the pressure on the press piston by pressing the release lever or button (usually near the handle). This will prevent adhesive from flowing out of the nozzle.
Remove the pulp: Pull the plunger all the way back and remove the used pulp pack from the press.

Maintenance and storage:

Cleaning: Clean the nozzle and the tip of the press carefully immediately after use, before the compound hardens. Some compounds (e.g. acrylic) are water-soluble before hardening and can be cleaned with water. Other compounds (e.g. silicone, polyurethane) require a special cleaning agent.
Storage: Store the pulp press in a dry and clean place.

Safety instructions:

Always wear appropriate protective gloves and goggles when working with the masses.
Always read and follow the pulp manufacturer's own safety instructions and instructions for use.
Work in a well-ventilated area, especially if you are using solvent-based compounds.
Keep the pulp press and pulps out of the reach of children.

How to choose the right pulp press:
Choosing the right grout press is essential for a successful and clean sealing or jointing job. There are several different types and models of presses on the market, and when choosing one, several factors must be taken into account that affect the efficiency and end result of the work.

The first and most important selection criteria is the type of pulp and the package size you plan to use. The most common pulp presses are designed for standard 310 ml cartridges. However, if you are using a lot of pulp or larger package sizes, such as 400 ml or 600 ml bags, you will need a press designed for this purpose, such as a bag press. Always check that the press is compatible with the type of pulp package (cartridge, bag) and size you are using.

Another important consideration is the required clamping force and mechanism. Lightweight and inexpensive clamps are well suited for dispensing acrylic and lightweight silicone compounds. If you are working with heavier and stiffer compounds, such as polyurethane or adhesive compounds, you will need a more powerful clamp with a higher clamping ratio (e.g. 12:1 or 18:1). Pneumatic (air-powered) or battery-powered clamps offer the highest clamping force and make it easier to work for long periods of time, but they are more expensive.

Ergonomics and comfort are also important, especially if you work for long periods of time. Choose a press with a handle that feels comfortable in your hand and provides a good grip. A good grout press minimizes user fatigue and promotes a smooth seam. Some models also have a drip stop that prevents grout from dripping from the nozzle when the handle is released, keeping your workspace cleaner.

The durability and construction of the materials are also important to consider. Professional-grade presses are made of durable materials, such as metal, and are designed to withstand heavy use. Cheaper plastic presses may be fine for occasional use, but they won’t hold up to long-term or heavy use. Check that the press’s trigger and piston mechanism are sturdy and operate smoothly.

Finally, consider additional features. Some presses include a built-in cutter for cutting the tip of the pulp cartridge or a cleaning pin to clear nozzle blockages. These small features can make your job easier and improve your user experience. In summary: choose a pulp press based on the type of pulp and package size, the required pressing force, ease of use, and the durability of the materials to get the right tool for the job and to last.
