DAWSONVILLE, Georgia - August 19, 2005 - UM3 series Universal modules from Nordson Corporation (Nasdaq – NDSN) provide accurate hot melt adhesive dispensing and maximize metering performance during intermittent operation. The single-platform design simplifies in-house rebuilding and reduces maintenance and inventory costs.

Typical applications include nonwovens lamination, and elastic and frontal-tape attachment on baby diapers, training pants, adult incontinence and feminine care products. The compact 25-millimeter-wide three-way modules are compatible with numerous spraying and coating technologies, including Summit™, SureWrap™, Universal, meltblown, bead and dot applicators. To further enhance pattern capabilities, UM3 modules accept CF®, Summit, SureWrap, Control Coat® and meltblown nozzles.

Consistent metering permits greater adhesive add-on precision and reliable operation. A diverter plate assembly is available to economically convert manifold-mounted solenoids to flange-mounted for high-speed intermittent lines.

A factory preassembled seal cartridge simplifies rebuilding and improves quality. Rebuilding components in-house reduces maintenance and ownership costs. Common parts minimize inventory, simplify service and speed product changeovers.
