AD-31 Swirl and Wide Pattern Swirl
Hand-Held Applicators
Description
The AD-31 swirl and wide pattern swirl hand-held applicators
produce a helical pattern with minimal thermal distortion on
heat-sensitive substrates. Precise control of pattern density
and thickness provides dense or open patterns for achieving
the best adhesion. AD-31 hand-held applicators are ideal for
pressure-sensitive hot melt adhesives, operate without heated
air and provide adjustment to vary spray pattern width.
Features
• Hand-held applicators perform well with room-temperature
compressed air.
• A variety of nozzles vary pattern deposition weight and width.
Widths range from 6 to 152 mm (0.25 to 6 in.).
• Lower heat density of swirl patterns minimizes thermal
distortion on heat-sensitive substrates.
• Compact, lightweight design weighs 0.8 kilogram (1.75 lb) for
handling ease.
• Distinctive ever-cool handle provides comfortable operation
and helps reduce risk of burns by containing heated
components and adhesive-flow paths within the hand
applicator body, not the handle.
• Impact-resistant molded shell extends service life.
• A 360° swivel connector eliminates hose twisting.
• Hand-held applicators employ either a preset thermostatic
temperature sensor or a RTD (resistance temperature detector)
sensor. RTD sensing provides temperature control precision by
reducing temperature fluctuations that negatively affect flow
and cause char formation.
• AD-31 wide pattern swirl hand-held applicators have large
internal air passages that provide higher air flow rate at lower
atomizing pressures. Select hand-held applicators have higher
wattage heaters to compensate for the cooling tendency caused
by higher air and adhesive flow rates.
• Wide pattern swirl nozzles provide high adhesive.
• Hand-held applicators accommodate broad range of Nordson
melters.
