DAWSONVILLE, Georgia - April 15, 2005 - Universal applicators from Nordson Corporation (Nasdaq – NDSN) advance production flexibility with a single-platform design that uses common parts and accepts different hot melt adhesive spraying and coating technologies. Typical applications include nonwovens lamination and elastic attachment of baby diapers, training pants, adult incontinence and feminine care products; as well as bonding and sealing in packaging and product assembly.
Manufacturers can select modules and nozzles to meet production requirements, enhancing capabilities and product performance. Universal series UM22, UM25, Speed-Coat® and CF®200 modules accept CF, Summit™, SureWrap™, Control Coat® and meltblown nozzles. Common parts minimize inventory, simplify service and speed product changeovers.
Universal applicators improve pattern stability and web-routing options with an angled manifold that reduces air turbulence common in high-speed operations. Integrated air heaters, thermal uniformity and advanced hydraulic features provide superior product performance and more efficiency than other applicator designs.
Cordsets with integral heaters and sensors facilitate service. AirGuard™ separator protects the air chamber from adhesive contamination when changing modules. The ability to rebuild all components increases service life and reduces cost of ownership.
