The DOT-TEC 8200 is a unique
all-electric hotmelt adhesive dispenser. It has been designed to
dispense full pressure-sensitive, peelable hotmelt adhesive in
repeatable dot sizes of between 7mm to 30mm diameter. Lines of adhesive
can also be formed if the substrate is moved under the nozzle while
adhesive is dispensed.
The adhesive is dispensed by a small piston pump that is operated by a
hand lever or the optional foot pedal. A screw-in stop can limit the
travel of the pump and so regulate the amount of adhesive dispensed per
stroke. The hand lever can be mounted on either side, making it suitable
for left or right handed use.
The unit is all-electric, so no compressed air is needed. This allows it
to be used anywhere a power supply is available.
The melt tank has a capacity of just over ½ kilo and will warm up in 10
- 20 minutes, depending upon the amount of adhesive in it. The 600 watts
of heater power is controlled by an accurate preset thermostat,
maintaining the hotmelt adhesive temperature at 160ºC.
