Nordson unveils hot melt adhesive dispensing applicator

Nordson Corporation has introduced a series of high speed hot melt adhesive dispensing applicators, called MiniBlue II, that are claimed to provide greater productivity, less maintenance and reduced downtime in packaging operations.    

‘The compact MiniBlue II applicators combine module and solenoid technology to achieve more than twice the operating life of any pneumatic applicator in the packaging industry,’ said the company in a statement, ‘while delivering fast, 2 millisecond cycle times in a size that fits virtually any parent machinery and packaging application.’  

In the MiniBlue II, patented and patent-pending hydraulic seal technology is paired with new high-speed Saturn Platinum (SP) solenoid technology to provide consistent performance in demanding environments. Packagers achieve lower total cost of ownership from less frequent module replacement and minimal need for solenoid adjustment, says the company. The Saturn Platinum solenoid valve does not require the additional cost and wear-and-tear of an electrical spike driver to achieve high speeds.
