DULUTH, Georgia - February 14, 2007– New Classic IX adhesive melt systems from Nordson Corporation (Nasdaq—NDSN) use field-proven technology to provide reliable performance and ease of use in fresh fruit, vegetable and seafood packaging applications. Classic IX systems blend current Nordson melter, hose and gun innovation with the more simple and established control and operator interfaces of classic equipment.

The Classic IX system was specifically engineered to maintain functionality while exposed to the harsh conditions found in these types of environments. A wide input voltage and frequency range helps accommodate the power supply variations supplied by small or remote generators. Classic IX adhesive systems also provide these customers and markets with proven equipment that is easy to operate and maintain without extensive training.

The adhesive melter features non-electronic thermostat controls and reliable dual-acting piston pumps. Neon lights indicate system on/off status and tank heating for improved operator safety. In addition, a basic operation guide and a spare parts list is graphically represented on the front control panel.

The system comes complete with ClassicBlue™ adhesive guns featuring EasyOn™ modules and thermostat-based temperature controls.  EasyOn mounting delivers guided, one-way fit for the module and gun body surfaces to ease installation.
