Scotch-Weld™ 7000121597 PG LT Hot Melt Applicator, 2.6 to 3.5 lb/hr Output, Pneumatic Drive

3M™ hot melt applicator LT is a lightweight, industrial grade applicator that dispenses liquefied adhesive to meet your needs whenever two surfaces require a strong clean bond. This low temperature, lightweight applicator uses electric heat to melt and thumb pressure to drive the lowmelt adhesive smoothly and evenly to keep various production processes moving. Dispenses low temperature adhesive for heat sensitive applications weighing only 13.8 oz, the 3M™ hot melt applicator LT with quadrack converter and palm trigger uses 120V/150W power to melt the adhesive smoothly and evenly to keep various production processes moving. A fixed thermostat on the heat block automatically maintains an operating temperature of 265 deg F (129 deg C). This applicator is designed for use with 3M™ lowmelt adhesives, commonly applied on heat sensitive materials such as foam and many plastics. It is designed for use with 5/8 x 8 in Q lowmelt adhesive sticks only. Recommended applications small joint assembly large surface lamination mounting and trim attachment point of purchase displays trade exhibits quadrack converter helps adhesive flow smoothly and evenly 3M™ hot melt applicator LT with quadrack converter and palm trigger features a unique feed mechanism that helps eliminate the linkage failure often associated with trigger type hand applicators. Using specifically designed low temperature hot melt, the adhesive feeds through the applicator smoothly and evenly for a continuous flow. Palm trigger helps improve worker comfort the palm trigger provides a comfortable grip and feeds the adhesive stick on demand through to the heat block. It is self-contained and features a comfortable handheld design that includes a palm trigger that reduces repetitive motion fatigue by spreading the effort across the whole palm area. The balanced design and lighter weight also contribute to an easy, controlled and precise means of manual adhesive application. Understanding hot melt applicators 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. Melted adhesive is extruded through a nozzle by either pneumatic pressure, a mechanical trigger mechanism, or with pressure applied directly on the stick. Different nozzles can be used to apply thin, wide strips or narrow, thicker beads. Hot melt adhesive generally sets quickly, ranging from a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on the adhesive formulation.
