Nordson's VersaPail(TM) Bulk Melters Provide High Degree of Precision for Demanding Hot Melt Adhesive Application
DULUTH, GA - May 5, 2008 - Nordson Corporation (NASDAQ: NDSN) today announced the introduction of its new line of VersaPail(TM) bulk melters, designed to provide outstanding precision in the application of hot melt adhesive from 20-liter or 5-gallon pails. Particularly well-suited for reactive adhesives, such as moisture-cure polyurethanes, VersaPail bulk melters only melt the top surface of adhesive allowing the remaining material in the pail to stay solid, reducing thermal stress and protecting bonding characteristics. The system's hydraulic passages are also designed to eliminate dead spaces where undesired curing could result.
Available with a variety of pump types and sizes, VersaPail melters can be customized to accommodate a wide variety of adhesives and meet manufacturers' specific requirements. A powerful industrial PC provides operators with full control of the adhesive system via an easy-to-use graphical touch-screen interface, with messages and indicators for each activity and machine status condition.
For applications that require continuous operation, Nordson's automatic changeover system can also link two bulk melters together to eliminate the downtime associated with pail changes.
