About Hot Melt Applicators for Nordson Systems

Nordson hot melt applicators are essential tools for precise and efficient adhesive dispensing in a wide range of industrial applications. Different applicator types are engineered to handle various adhesive patterns, speeds, and levels of automation, impacting the overall quality and efficiency of the bonding process. Selecting the right applicator is crucial for achieving optimal bonding results and meeting specific production needs, whether for packaging, product assembly, or other industrial processes.

Automatic applicators, often integrated into high-speed production lines, provide consistent and repeatable adhesive patterns. These applicators can be configured with multiple modules to dispense multiple beads or dots simultaneously, ensuring precise adhesive placement and strong bonds. Automatic applicators are typically controlled by pattern controllers, enabling complex pattern programming and synchronization with production line speeds.

Handheld applicators offer greater flexibility and are ideal for manual or lower-volume applications. These applicators, typically connected to a melter via a heated hose, allow for precise adhesive placement in situations requiring manual dexterity. Handheld applicators come in various configurations, including bead, swirl, and spray patterns, with adjustable settings for adhesive flow rate and air pressure, catering to diverse application needs.
