AltaBlue Series adhesive melters from Nordson Corporation
(Nasdaq: NDSN) offer a choice of 15-, 30- and 50-liter
melter tanks and key-to-line functionality. The
cost-efficient design serves a wide range of high-volume
manufacturing requirements for packaging, product assembly,
paper and paper converting, and nonwovens products.

    "AltaBlue melters support Nordson's commitment to
innovation, service and choice with high-precision
equipment that helps improve productivity, yet provides
easier operation and service. An appropriate selection of
configurable options supports specific application
requirements and production interfaces," states
Michael Fornes, nonwovens global marketing manager.

    Melters accept up to four single-stream or two
dual-stream pumps with variable-speed AC motors. Metering
spur-gear pumps provide consistent throughput for
dependable operation that maximizes uptime and
productivity. AltaBlue melters handle up to six hoses and
guns as a standard configuration.

    Users also have the choice to tailor interface to
production line control with programmable discrete
input/output or optional field-installed choices of
communication protocols. The intuitive graphical operator
interface provides easy day-to-day operation with separate
sections for temperature and motor control for easy
reference. Status-at-a-glance indicators display status of
the tank, hose(s) and guns(s). Service indicators simplify
maintenance scheduling.

    Quick-disconnect hoses/gun power and input/output
connectors speed installation and setup. Open access to
electrical and hydraulic sections provides easier
servicing.
