EFD Introduces New Solvent & UV-cure Adhesive Coating Systems

EFD-Relius-Solvent-Coater

East Providence, RI - EFD, Inc., a subsidiary of Nordson Corporation introduced the new Relius Tube Coating Systems -- a fast, foolproof way to apply accurate, repeatable amounts of solvents or UV-cure adhesives on tubing, fittings and other cylindrical components.

The compact, pneumatically operated benchtop systems will provide medical device makers and other manufacturers with a more cost-effective, productive alternative to slow, messy and inconsistent manual fluid application.

Instead of dipping components into open containers of solvent or applying UV-cure adhesive by hand, the operator simply inserts the end of the tubing or fitting into an applicator port on the side of the Relius System. The interior and/or exterior diameter will be coated with the correct amount of fluid every time, regardless of who performs the operation. Each Relius System can be configured with up to four applicator ports to handle multiple pieces or different diameters of tubing.

Benefits of the Relius Systems' controlled fluid application include greater process control, faster throughput with fewer rejects, less fluid waste, a dramatic reduction in potentially hazardous fumes, and better product reliability and cosmetic appearance.
