VersaBlue N series adhesive melters from Nordson Corporation (Nasdaq – NDSN) deliver enhanced flexibility, reliability, durability and performance to high-volume, high-speed product assembly, packaging and nonwovens operations.  The precision melter technology provides precise adhesive add-on weights and reduces maintenance.  

VersaBlue N series adhesive melters offer variable-speed AC motors and multiple pump selections to meet specific manufacturing requirements.  The precision spur-gear pumps deliver maximum accuracy and flexibility.  

The VersaBlue N series melters are currently available in 12-, 25-,50- and 100-liter tank sizes.  The grid and reservoir tank design reduces adhesive degradation while maximizing adhesive throughput.  

VersaBlue N series melters utilize a VxWorks®-based industrial PC.  The integrated touch screen allows for a graphical display of the adhesive system simplifying programming and operation.   Users have the choice of standard inputs-outputs or optional communication platforms, such as Profibus®, for external control of VersaBlue N series melters.  A 7-day clock allows automatic daily startup, standby and shutdown.

Installation and set-up are made easy with quick connect hoses and guns and input/output connectors.  Single-tool, easy-access panels and doors and disposable Saturn® filters provide straightforward maintenance.
