The Tec 306 is an efficient and lightweight 12mm hot melt applicator perfect for first-time users of hot melt applicators, specifically those looking for a DIY & hobby spec tool.

It’s slim design and light overall weight of 400g enables users of all ages and abilities to perform simple bonding applications quickly and efficiently. Compatible with all 12mm hot melt glue sticks, and available in hot and low melt variations, the Tec 306 brings reliability and performance together in a small, compact package.

The cordless variant of the Tec 306, the Tec 308 removes the hazards of trailing cables and working within range of an electrical socket. Experience the freedom of bonding without restrictions thanks to its compatibility with the 18V Ryobi battery system *.

However, if you work with a different battery system, the Tec 308 will run on a number of different 18–20V batteries when used with a Tec battery adapter.

Bridging the gap between recreational and industrial hot melt applicators, the Tec 806 has been widely used across a number of industries and markets, including packaging, woodworking, product assembly, foundry and electrical.

Despite being a slightly larger tool, its low weight of 640g, coupled with its 1.7kg (3.8lbs) per hour output, makes it one of the best hot melt tools on the market for its price point.

A higher performance version of the Tec 308, the Tec 808 has been designed to tackle more challenging applications across a number of professional and industrial sectors. Doubling the output and efficiency of the 300 series tools, the Tec 808 is the go-to hot melt tool for operators in the construction, product assembly, and packaging industries.

Much like the Tec 308, the Tec 808 runs on the popular 18V Ryobi battery system * but can run on different 18–20V batteries when used with a battery adapter.

Expanding on all areas of hot melt bonding, the Tec 810 is the perfect next step for industry users who need a higher output than the Tec 806, while guaranteeing the same quality and control.

Able to output up to 2kg of adhesive per hour, its state of the art cartridge heater, in combination with the snap-action thermostat, allows the tool to maintain a set temperature which is not only more reliable, but keeps you working all day with no downtime.

A class leader in output and efficiency, the Tec 830 is the go-to hot melt tool for more demanding applications. Commonly used in the wood repair, foundry and product assembly markets, it is the most advanced and high output stick tool in the Tec range.

Unlike the Tec 810, the Tec 830 has interchangeable thermostat modules that work with the internal PCB to maintain the set temperature, even through consistent use. This keeps users working for longer, with minimal-to-no downtime.

One of the most powerful non-pneumatic hot melt tools on the market, the Tec 3500 takes all the benefits of the Tec 830, and increases the overall output thanks to its compatibility with 43mm hot melt slugs.

Guaranteeing precise temperature control, the Tec 3500 is available with a selection of plug-in modules ranging from 130°C to 215°C that change the internal thermostat to specific temperatures. Not only does this ensure optimal conditions for the bonding application, but depending on the adhesive used, these modules can change the bonding properties of the grade to suit the job at hand.

Removing the power cable doesn’t have to mean cutting back on performance. Running on the DeWalt Flex volt battery system * the Tec 3508 is the first fully-cordless 43mm hot melt applicator on the market, delivering approximately three hours of runtime on a 9Ah battery (but also compatible with 6Ah and 12Ah batteries). It’s the perfect tool for industries that are looking to minimise health & safety risks associated with trailing cables, or those who need to work in areas not accessible from a power outlet.

Um eine präzise Temperaturregelung zu gewährleisten, verfügt die Tec 3508 über eine Auswahl an Einsteckmodulen von 130°C bis 215°C, die die interne Heiztemperatur automatisch verändern. Dies gewährleistet nicht nur optimale Bedingungen für die Klebeanwendung, sondern diese Module können je nach verwendetem Klebstoff die Klebeeigenschaften der Sorte entsprechend der jeweiligen Aufgabe verändern.

Providing consistent output with minimal effort, the Tec 6100 revolutionises bonding possibilities with hot melt adhesive. The base pneumatic tool in the Tec range, the Tec 6100 utilises compressed air to power the feed mechanism, allowing the user to apply adhesive continually with a single trigger pull.

Despite its greater power and larger build, the Tec 6100 weighs the same as the Tec 3508, so it’s just as easy to handle.

The world-leading, high-output, hot melt spray tool, the Tec 6300 utilises compressed air to both power the feed mechanism, and generate a spiral pattern with the extruded glue. Once the compressed has pushed through the feed mechanism, it’s released through specially designed nozzles to create a vortex around the bead of adhesive, forming a spiral.

Due to the unique nature of the system, it enables the user to create different patterns and coat weights to suit their specific needs. Designed to work with 43mm adhesive slugs, the Tec 6300 has an output 4.2kg per hour, matching the output of the 6100, but covering a wider surface area in the process.
