Best Choice Configurable Applicators
Description
Best Choice applicators are configurable, which
means that each applicator is constructed to specific
choices made when the applicator was ordered. The
Best Choice Configurator allows the customer to
quickly and easily determine the right applicator for
the application, minimizing the need for specially
engineered applicators and significantly reducing
delivery time. Best Choice applicators are available in
low-profile, multi-module and water-wash designs.
Machining centers are located throughout the world
to ensure commonality of parts and expedient
delivery of applicators. Best Choice applicators use a
common manifold extrusion and can be configured for
common air, independent air and programmed air. All
applicators are tested prior to shipment to help assure
performance.
Best Choice applicators include:
• ClassicBlue zero cavity, reduced cavity and right angle
air-open/spring-close modules
• SolidBlue A air-open/air-close modules
• SolidBlue S air-open/spring-close modules
• SureBead® A air-open/air-close modules
• SureBead® S air-open/spring-close modules
Features
• The Best Choice Configurator provides intuitive and
step-by-step instructions to guide you through the
process of building an applicator, offering choices in
module spacing, cord set location, air specifications,
voltage and hose connection, preinstalled solenoids and
in-line filters.
• The configurator demonstrates which specifications are
possible and which are not, providing instantaneous
answers to specific application questions.
• Applicator covers for SolidBlue and SureBead are color
coded for identification and thermally resistant, to
enhance safety during maintenance.
SolidBlue S Module and Applicator Body
The EasyOn design provides machined surfaces on
both the applicator body and applicator module. The
two surfaces “mate” to deliver superior ease-of-use
and to provide safety when servicing applicators.
Blue = Air-Close
Black = Spring-Close

• The Unique Identifier (UID) Cross Reference function
allows for easy conversion of the World Applicator
platform to the new Best Choice applicators. By
entering a specific applicator UID or part number,
a list of recommended parts and dimensional sketch
unique to the applicator is displayed.
