Scotch-Weld 7000121616 PG II Hot Melt Applicator, 5.5 to 7.5 lb/hr Output, Pneumatic Drive

Scotch-Weld, 7000121616, Hot Melt Applicator, Series: PG II, 385 deg F Operating, 5.5 to 7.5 lb/hr Output, Pneumatic Drive, 120 VAC, Corded

The 3M hot melt applicator PG II with magazine feed is no light weight. It's a hot melt, high volume applicator that uses 120V AC / 500W power to melt and pneumatic pressure to drive, up to 7.5 lb of adhesive per hour and keep high demand production processes moving. The magazine holds up to 9, 1 x 3 in adhesive sticks and the applicator holds 3 more in the chamber, for a total of 12. Whistle while you work the high capacity of the 3M hot melt applicator PG II with magazine feed to provide a continuous supply of hot melt adhesive increases productivity by reducing the reloading time. Reloading is fast and easy. As the chamber runs low, a whistling sound is heard, then the piston can be retracted that allows a fresh adhesive stick to fall into place, keeping the adhesive and productivity, flowing. Its balanced design is comfortable to operate in multi-station or intermittent manual applications. Recommended applications woodworking, furniture, automotive, transportation, aerospace and general Industrial. Upholstery point of purchase display sample boards military window, door, building, trophies, novelties, audio components, cabinets, construction, packaging and electronics. Trigger happy applicator this applicator is built for ease of control also, with the trigger being uniquely designed to provide variable flow control. Pulling the trigger slowly to the rear will start the adhesive flow. Increased pressure on the trigger increases the flow rate and amount of adhesive dispensed. Adhesive flow is also controlled by the type of applicator tip used and air pressure setting. This gives the operator flexibility to customize flow and minimize waste. Thermostatically controlled a fixed thermostat on the heat block automatically maintains temperature for consistent, reliable performance. The applicator also includes a bench stand to hold it in the proper position when not in use and two tips, 9921 and 9946, to help deliver the adhesive where and how needed. This tool is designed for the reliability to keep processes moving and the simplicity to keep the focus on those processes, a great solution where ever two surfaces need to be bonded together. The applicator is designed for standard melt adhesives (melting point of approximately 350-380 deg F/ 177-196deg deg C) and performs best when combined with hot melt adhesives in the 3M hot melt adhesive stick family. The cold facts on our hot melts hot melt adhesive applicators, commonly called "glue guns," are tools used to apply liquefied thermoplastic adhesives and are available in low and high temperature versions. Low temperature adhesive applicators operate at approximately 250 deg F (121 deg C) and are beneficial when bonding heat sensitive materials such as electronics, plastics and cloth. High temperature applicators operate at a minimal temperature of approximately 380 deg F (193 deg C) and can dispense adhesives that produce a stronger bond than low temperature adhesives. The applicator creates a flow of adhesive when a solidified adhesive stick is fed into the heat chamber, where it is melted using a fixed temperature heating element. The molten adhesive is then extruded through a nozzle by either pneumatic pressure, a mechanical trigger mechanism or with pressure applied directly on the stick. Nozzles can be changed to dispense adhesive in a manner that meets a variety of requirements from a thin, wide strip for carton sealing, to a narrow, thicker bead for bonding wood, composites, or metal. Nozzles are typically metal and become extremely hot during use, which can quickly burn skin. Once dispensed from the applicator, the adhesive generally sets quickly, ranging from a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on the adhesive formula. Hot melt applicators are widely used in industry, crafts, home and work with materials ranging from paper and lace to wood and metal.
