Nordson Corp. Unveils EB 60 Flex Slot Applicator for Hotmelt Adhesives and more

Duluth, Georgia, USA -- Nordson Corporation (Nasdaq: NDSN) introduced to the North American woodworking market the EB 60 Flex slot applicator at IWF 2014 in Atlanta, Georgia. The EB 60 Flex applicator expands on the proven slot nozzle technology of Nordson’s EB 60 V adjustable slot applicator. This new applicator maximizes edge banding production efficiency with volume compensation that means even the first panel after a coating width change is saleable. EB 60 Flex applicators optimize material use and production efficiency saving manufacturers material cost and maintenance time while improving product quality.

Volume compensation eliminates introduction of air or adhesive squeeze-out during coating width changes so accurate, consistent adhesive coating is applied. Adhesive volume is equalized inside the EB 60 Flex applicator so no purging is needed between width changes.

These edge banding applicators easily integrate with a wide variety of OEM systems and software. There are EB 60 Flex applicators for use with a variety of hot melt adhesives including ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) polyolefins and reactive polyurethane (PUR). And, in addition to applying to the panel edge, there is an EB 60 Flex applicator for soft forming.

A motorized version automatically adjusts coating width using input from a touch-screen control panel. A hand wheel adjusts the nozzle width for the manual version. A nozzle closing device covers the nozzle opening during production/machine stops, particularly useful in keeping PURs from curing.
