Adhesive applicator offers automated efficiency

Glue Dots International (GDI) introduces the SD-900 adhesive applicator. The SD-900 is a fully automated, inline adhesive applicator engineered to quickly, cleanly and easily apply Glue Dots Brand Adhesives. Competitively priced versus most hot melt systems, the SD- 900 reduces your operating and maintenance cost by eliminating waste and cleaning, and increases worker safety by eliminating the risk of burn injuries.

The SD-900 is engineered to seamlessly integrate into both new and existing automated production lines. Flexible mounting options, including the optional rolling stand, allow the SD-900 to easily adapt to unique application needs.

The SD-900 is designed for continuous and intermittent application in both vertical and horizontal orientations. You never have to worry about complex programming with the SD-900 because automatic speed matching ensures +/- 3/32 inch dot placement accuracy at a rate of 300 applications per minute. Additionally, the number and sequence of Glue Dots being applied can be adjusted instantly via rotary switch.
