A system for applying a two-part adhesive to a substrate includes two separate trays for holding a 15 gallon capacity drum containing a two-part adhesive compound, where the trays are tiltable independent of each other, a prime mover for providing an output torque, a first pump connected to the prime mover for receiving the output torque, the first pump having an inlet and an outlet, a second pump connected to the prime mover for receiving the output torque, the second pump having an inlet and an outlet, a first compound in communication with the inlet of the first pump, a second compound in communication with the inlet of the second pump, a first accumulator in communication with the outlet of the first pump, a second accumulator in communication with the outlet of the second pump, a first manifold in communication with the outlet of the first pump, and a second manifold in communication with the outlet of the second pump. A plurality of applicators is included.

Multi-bead applicator

A system for applying a two-part adhesive to a substrate includes a prime mover for providing an output torque, a first pump connected to the prime mover for receiving the output torque, the first pump having an inlet and an outlet, a second pump connected to the prime mover for receiving the output torque, the second pump having an inlet and an outlet, a first compound in communication with the inlet of the first pump, a second compound in communication with the inlet of the second pump, a first accumulator in communication with the outlet of the first pump, a second accumulator in communication with the outlet of the second pump, a first manifold in communication with the outlet of the first pump, and a second manifold in communication with the outlet of the second pump. A plurality of applicators is included.

A device for applying a two-part adhesive to a substrate includes a carrier, a first tray coupled to the carrier, a first package disposed in the first tray, and a second package disposed in the first tray. The first package contains a first part of the two-part adhesive and the second package contains a second part of the two-part adhesive. The device further includes a applicator that is in communication with the first package and the second package. The applicator is configured to receive the first part and the second part and mix the first part and the second part to form the two-part adhesive. The device also includes a second tray coupled to the carrier and configured to accommodate a power supply that provides electrical power to operate the device.

Adhesive applicator

A packaging machine () includes a machine foundation () and a variable-width belt system (). The variable-width belt system () is moved relative to the packaging machine and configured to establish a belt pocket (). A product is admitted into the belt pocket and rolled onto itself to establish a rolled product () as the belt moves relative to the machine foundation ().

Packaging machine with variable-width belt system

A device for applying a two-part adhesive to a substrate includes a carrier, a first pump, a second pump, at least one manifold and at least one applicator. The first pump and the second pump are mounted on the carrier and each pump has an inlet and an outlet. The first pump pumps a first part of the two-part adhesive from its inlet to its outlet, and the second pump pumps a second part of the two-part adhesive from its inlet to its outlet. The at least one applicator is configured to mix the first part with the second part to form the two-part adhesive that is discharged from the outlet of the at least one applicator onto the substrate.

Adhesive bead applicator

A belt roll-up machine which includes at least two endless belts. The endless belts have portions that overlap one another. The overlapping portions of the belts form a loop. A compressible strip of insulation material may be rolled in the loop.

Apparatus for packaging insulation material

A fluid dispensing apparatus for automated dispensing high-viscosity fluids for mixing applications, such as dispensing of pigment concentrates for mixing screen printing inks and paints includes a rotatable carousel containing a plurality of different pigment concentrate supplies. The carousel is selectively rotated into a dispensing position in alignment with a dispensing pump and the pump is actuated to dispense through a dispensing valve assembly associated with each pigment concentrate supply. The dispensing valve assembly includes a pair of dispensing valves having different valve orifices so that the pigment concentrates may be dispensed in coarse and fine iterations into a container for mixing.

Methods for forming lines of weakening in closures

A composite closure for a container has an outer ring with a half-toroidal lip which overhangs a bead around the periphery of an insert cover disk. As the closure is tightened on the container the lip bears downwardly on the bead of the disk and urges the disk against the container rim. Reaction force uncoils the lip like a watch spring, and a visible gap develops between the inner edge of the lip and the disk. This gap provides a visible on-line indicator that the lip is exerting sealing force on the disk. In a second aspect of the invention, a tamper-evidencing band on the closure has ratchets which engage angularly spaced groups of ratchets on the container. Unequal torque thereby acts on bridges which connect the tamper evidencing band to the closure, causing the bridges to break sequentially rather than simultaneously. As a result the bridges can be made stronger and premature breaking is reduced.
