Common Applications for Nordson® Hot Melt Equipment
Nordson® products are used in a variety of industrial applications — dispensing, coating, laminating, bonding, sealing, extruding, lubricating, and testing, to name just a few. Nordson® dispensing and curing systems are often used to coat, assemble, treat, and cure metal food and beverage cans and containers. Lubrication pumps, fluid regulators, droplet dispensing guns, and syringe barrels provide consistently accurate deposits regardless of fluid pressure.
For medical applications, Nordson® aseptic valves help keep medical-grade lubricants sterile and safe. Nordson® MATRIX equipment is used for testing on manual X-ray inspection equipment, and Nordson® YESTECH allows for reliable, efficient automated optical inspection (AOI).
