NORDSON INTRODUCES NEW PROBLUE® LARGE CAPACITY ADHESIVE MELTERS FOR INCREASED PERFORMANCE AND SIMPLICITY IN PACKAGING OPERATIONS



Wednesday, June 15, 2005

New ProBlue 15, 30 and 50 liter adhesive melters from Nordson Corporation (Nasdaq – NDSN) deliver enhanced flexibility, reliability, durability and performance to high-speed and high-volume packaging applications, including beverage, sift proof, tray forming and wrap around case sealing. The ProBlue 15 liter melters are currently available while ProBlue 30 and 50 liter melters will be released in July 2005.

The new ProBlue melters use intuitive graphic controls and status-at-a glance indicators for continuously updated system and temperature monitoring. All service can be performed from the front of the melter simplifying installation and daily operations. Patented Saturn® basket-style disposable filters eliminate routine filter flushing. Automatic pressure discharge, a large tank opening with 3-sided access and expandable hose and gun capability improve operator safety, and reduce adhesive waste and changeover time.

ProBlue 15, 30 and 50 liter melters feature larger tank capacities, reliable piston-pump technology, and a reduced service envelope to fit virtually any packaging line. Non-handed design allows hoses and guns to be run right or left. Advanced field bus connectivity features allow integration to parent packaging machinery. ProBlue melters are also compatible with most previous-generation Nordson hoses and guns.
