Duluth, Ga.-based Nordson Corp. has introduced TruFlow™ single-module applicators for optimized adhesive use and improved material delivery. The applicator features passively driven gears to deliver flow-metered hot melt material to the application point with variation management capability. According to the company, this capability enables reduced waste, improved product quality and enhanced production efficiency. Nordson reports variation management is especially useful for producers of nonwoven disposable hygiene products for which the manufacturing process has rapidly changing flow requirements.
TruFlow single-module applicators have a compact profile and require fewer cables and connections than conventional applicators for simple integration into a high-speed production line. The applicators also are compatible with Nordson’s Universal™ nozzles such as the Allegro® for elastic attachment.
