Dispensing for pressure sensitive adhesives

1 min read

A new range of Thermadose hot melt production equipment from Fisnar provides pulse-free temperature controlled thermoplastic dispensing for industrial applications using pressure sensitive adhesives, contact adhesives, waxes and sealants, the company claims.

Hot melt systems are suitable for direct-contact, non-woven, ribbon-coating, high-speed jetting and product assembly operations. Tank controllers include independent over-temperature and over-pressure protection for safe operation. Independently controlled heat zones minimize adhesive degradation for precise, uniform patterns. Thermadose reservoir tanks are coated with inert Teflon heated by quick-change cartridges for easy maintenance. And machines can be configured for use in manual and automated applications using either a hand-valve or automated-valve applicator. Control settings are input using an easy-to-use touch-pad providing simple and rapid setup. LED indicators monitor operation status and functions while pail and drum melters handle high volume production requirements of hot melt EVA, PSA, and PUR, supplied from 20 L pails or 200 L drums. Melters include precision gear-pump technology providing pulse-free flow of adhesive for precise gluing applications.
