As many of you in the adhesives industry are aware, when it comes to slot die hot melt glue applications, scrapping substrates and wasting adhesive has always been a known cost. Until now! The ITW Dynatec APEX™ high-speed slot die applicator is here and it offers a great solution. The APEX™ applicator delivers crisp adhesive cut off that no other product in the hot melt equipment world can match.
Not only does the
APEX™ slot-die applicator outperform other slot applicators in its class, but it also costs less, giving the customer the best value in the industry today!
What is the APEX™ slot-die applicator?
The APEX™ applicator is a highly precise air-operated adhesive applicator assembly with a flexible design that can be used in intermittent applications and on a variety of substrates. When used along with one of the versatile
ITW Dynatec adhesive pattern controllers, an application or pattern that could never be achieved in the past is now attainable.
Take for example a recent customer of ours in Ohio. This customer inquired about doing a “ladder” adhesive pattern on a substrate that was a high speed, constantly moving web of paper. The only applicator we offer that could perform this successfully was...you guessed it...APEX™!
