Hot Melt adhesives are used worldwide to erect and seal paperboard cartons andĀ corrugated cases in packaging.
Ā are used in the most basic packaging applications – and are theĀ tools of choice to apply hot melt adhesive. They are simple, effective tools asĀ they can be used to apply hot melt patterns that quickly form permanent bonds.
Most companies using hot melt handguns first opt for low cost, low power hot meltĀ stick guns. In many cases, these tools show promise but do not melt or apply hotĀ melt fast enough and tend to drip and string adhesive.
Ā only should be used in packaging applications – asĀ one of the keys to successfully glued packages is to apply precise consistentĀ patterns fast and compress the materials quickly.
The next step in packaging with hot melt handguns is theĀ . These tools have melt reservoirs within the gun that condition bulk low costĀ adhesive prior to application. These tools allow for the fast application of hotĀ melt and can be equipped with a range of nozzles to include multi orifice nozzlesĀ used extensively in case erecting and sealing.
In larger scale manual hot melt packaging applications a smallĀ Ā withĀ pump feeding a high pressure hose to a handgun is preferred. This system meltsĀ larger volumes of bulk low cost hot melt and allows for the very fast applicationĀ of hot melt adhesive.
