Coaters and coating stands

CL 2000 hot melt lab coaters are widely used in the research
and development laboratories of some of the world's most
renowned adhesive and raw material manufacturers. Small
applications as well as larger volume production trials can be
processed at coating widths up to 180 mm (7 in.).

The CT 4400 series coaters were developed for

applications requiring a coating width up to 380 mm
(15 in.). The cantilevered design makes it an economical
"one-man machine".

The CTL 4400 series is ideally suited for laboratory settings.

Coating widths up to 350 mm (14 in.) at maximum speed of
600 m/min. are available. Due to the modular design and
exchangeable application modules maximum flexibility is
achieved.
 The CT 5500 series coaters were developed for
applications requiring a coating width of 400 to
800 mm (16 to 32 in.). Like the CT 4400 coaters,
the CT 5500 coaters incorporate a compact design.
The dual-frame roll mounting and distinct, functional
design make the CT 5500 Series one of the most
flexible units of its kind.

The CT 6000 series coaters were developed for

applications requiring web coating
widths up to 4000 mm
(157 in.). The modular
design enables the unit to
be combined with UV
curing systems. The
advantage of this large
coating unit is not only its
distinctive design but
also its ability to be
customized to meet the
customer's individual
application requirements.

A Nordson specialty, the customized SB 1000 coating stands are

designed for applications with widths up to 4000 mm (157 in.) and
can be easily integrated into existing production lines. They can be
combined with any coating process, including slot nozzle, screen
printing, spray applicator or flexo/gravure roller.

The NT 1000 series coating stands are designed for easy integration
into existing production lines, e.g. in-line coating applications before
the printing/pressing process. NT 1000 modules are available for
coating widths of 200 to 800 mm (8 to 32 in).
Hot melt application systems
The VersaBlue® melters are
designed for precise, demanding
hot melt adhesive applications.
A choice of metering spur-gear
pumps with variable-speed AC
motors satisfies a wide range of
manufacturing requirements.
A grid and reservoir tank design
reduces adhesive degradation while
maximizing adhesive throughput.
A VxWorks®-based industrial PC
provides full control of the adhesive
system via a touch-screen
interface.

With the PS series, Nordson offers customers a

bulk melt and metering system which combines
highest melt rates up to 1000 kg/hr and big
tank capacities (750 kg/ 1650 lb or 1300 kg /
2860 lb) with easy operation – the ideal solu-
tion for application with high adhesive con-
sumption. Multiple melt zones provide progres-
sive melting and maintain the integrity of the hot
melt adhesives.

BM drum melters are used for processing hot melt adhesives

and sealants from 20- and 200-liter (5- and 55-gallon) drums.
Depending on the application and material being processed,
the customer can choose from standard units with gear-,
piston-, or auger pumps; or simple drum presses without a
pump.

XP extruders were developed for processing high-performance,

high-viscosity hot melt adhesives and thermoplastics. Extruders
of varying sizes with melt rates of 2 to 250 kg/hr (4 to 550 lbs/hr)
meet the highest demands regarding precision application by
adjusting pressure, torque and motor speed as well as
configurations of metering pumps and application heads.

Coating heads for contact and non-contact applications

Nordson coating heads, flexo and gravure applicators are made of precision-crafted, ground steel, and are extremely reliable. The
application temperature is electronically controlled and the heads may be divided into multiple heated sections depending on the
coating width.
The BC 31 / BC 35 heads are designed for continuous precision coating. They
include 100 percent in-line filtration using a high-volume filter cartridge. The
standard coating width is up to 3500 mm (138 in.). Using shim plates in the
BC 31, the width and pattern of the adhesive can be modified. The BC 35
coating width can be adjusted up to 350 mm (14 in.) per side within minutes.

Replacement shim plates in thicknesses of 0.3 to 1 mm are available for the

BC 31.

The BC 40 coating head is designed for continuous applications with standard

coating widths up to 3500 mm (138 in.). The "Rotating Bar" produces a
streak-free coating. Special Teflon®* profiles can be used to alter the
application width.

The BC 60 coating head is suitable for continuous and intermittent precision

coating in standard coating widths up to 3500 mm (138 in.). By inserting
various shim plates, the application width and pattern can be changed.
Heads with replaceable wear lips are intended for applications requiring
small amounts of adhesive at high line speeds. The air manifold and heated
body are normally isolated, allowing continuous operation at temperatures
up to 210°C (410°F).

The BC 62 Porous Coat® System delivers breathable coating at extremely

low application weight tolerances for widths up to 4000 mm (157 in.). Coating
weights from 0.8 g/m2 to 50 g/m2 can be easily achieved by changing the
pump speed. By shutting off individual control modules, adjustments in
application width can be made without affecting coating weight.

The BC 70 coating head is suitable for full-surface, non-contact coating in

widths up to 2500 mm (98 in). Depending on the hot melt adhesive's
viscosity, coating weights vary from 2 to 80 g/m2. The BC 70 is divided into
multiple feeding and heating sections and produces a closed film. The hot melt
adhesive is delivered via a GP 200 heated gear pump metering system.
* Teflon® is a registered trademark of E.I. DuPont de Nemours and Company.
 While the EP 11 coating head is suitable for continuous and intermittent
applications, the EP 51 is designed for continuous precision coating. Both heads
include a 100 percent in-line filter with a high-volume filter cartridge. The
replaceable mouthpieces are available in standard application widths up to
500 mm (20 in.), and up to 1000 mm (39 in.) by special request. By inserting
various shim plates, the application width and pattern can be changed as needed.
Replaceable nozzle tips are also available.

The Speed-Coat® slot applicator provides high-speed intermittent applications,

delivers precise cutoff and corss-web adhesive distribution at high line speeds. Its
flexible design enables the applicator to be customized according to application
requirements and its compact design is smaller than other comparable slot
applicators, helping to ensure it fits easily on any nonwovens production line.

Spray application heads for non-contact applications

The EP 26SD and EP 34S / SD spray heads mix the hot melt adhesive and spray air
inside the spray nozzle so external factors cannot negatively affect the spray pattern.
The EP 26SD spray head is especially versatile; its integrated air heater and easily-
controlled, double-air system enable spiral and atomized spray applications of 45 to
200 mm (2 to 8 in.) in width. The EP 34S is a compact spray head with bolt-on
modules. An EP 34 T-version with multiple modules can be used for spray application
widths up to 2500 mm (98 in.).

The Control Coat® system allows hot melt adhesive to be precisely applied without
contacting the substrate, providing excellent sharpness in continuous or intermittent
applications. This system produces highly dense patterns for maximum bond
strength, open patterns when absorbency is important, or extremely thin patterns to
eliminate distortion on heat-sensitive substrates.

The peak performing SummitTM applicator delivers precise control of adhesive

pattern width, fiber size and density for increased bond strength and pattern
flexibility. Summit applicators deliver add-on weights as low as 1 g/m2 at 300
meters per minute. Combinations of full and partial dies enable the customization of
applications. The Summit applicator delivers edge control while minimizing overspray.
 The non-contact DF III head is suitable for spray
applications in widths up to 5000 mm (200 in.) and
ideal for applications of open patterns with a softness
of hand. The DFIII head is available in both pressure-
fed and metered configurations. The precise metering
head configuration provides the capability of applying
add-on weights as low as 0.05 g/m2.

Gravure/Flexo systems for the

application of individual patterns
The RA 80 gravure applicators are available in different versions and widths
suitable for various applications. The adhesive can be applied from the top, the
bottom, or the side. The surface of the gravure cylinder is manufactured to meet
the individual pattern and engraving requirements of the customer. The
applicator's adhesive level is constantly monitored.

The Flex-O-Coat® system is suitable for the application of a wide range of

patterns. It consists of a special hot melt application roll, a heated transfer roll,
and a nip roll. The system combines precise adhesive placement and web
handling into a single module that easily retrofits into most roll-fed printing
presses and web handling equipment.

UV drying systems
Nordson UV drying systems are supplied with medium pressure mercury arc
lamps, each fitted in water-cooled, anodized aluminum reflectors and contained in
fully shielded and shuttered lamp housings. The nominal lamp rating is 240 w/cm
(600 w/in.) depending on the length of the UV lamp. The complete UV drying
system is controlled via a SpecTronicTM color touch
screen module.
