At Ellsworth Adhesives Europe, we are proud to stock all of the top brands within the adhesives industry and today one of our manufacturing partners unveiled a new brand image…

Liquid Control Ltd, a global provider of resin mixing solutions, has just announced details of its new brand identity and from now onwards will be known as Fluid Research Ltd.

As well as a new name, the new brand image also includes a new logo and new corporate colours. This rebranding initiative acts in support of the company’s long term growth strategy, a major part of which involves working alongside Fluid Research Corporation, based in California.

Liquid Control Ltd and Fluid Research Corporation have recently joined forces to create a formidable partnership in mix and dispense equipment innovation. Both companies have a long standing reputation for quality and service and will work together to offer the most up-to-date and innovative technologies in all aspects of resin dispensing. From table top machines for developmental projects, to bespoke, large volume production, fully automated machines, the Fluid Research product range is impressive and is available to purchase from Ellsworth Adhesives Europe.

The re-branding announcement also coincides with the completion of a move by Fluid Research into a new factory and office building in Wellingborough. The new facilities are nearly 21,000 ft², almost double the size of the previous factory. Production now sits side by side with Research and Development teams so the whole manufacturing process is seamless. It also includes purpose built testing facilities as well as new office accommodation. The move to a new building reinforces the commitment by Fluid Research to invest for the future and signals a new era for the company.

At Ellsworth Adhesives Europe we would like to wish Fluid Research Ltd success with their new brand image and partnership with Fluid Research Corporation, and look forward to seeing their new product lines in the near future!

Ellsworth Adhesives Europe is pleased to announce availability of the new Dymax Model 485 needle valve.

The new needle valve by Dymax offers high dispensing precision thanks to its material flow adjustment, which enables shot-to-shot consistency. Created to deliver precise dots or fine beads, Model 485 has a pneumatic needle valve with in-built stroke adjustment and this special design feature facilitates the fine-tuning of dispense volume, ensuring accurate and consistent deposits.

The Model 485 valve is compatible with most standard fluid packages and delivery systems, meaning users can dispense from pressurized cartridges, bottles and pails.

A flexible addition to the Dymax product range, Model 485 is suited to a wide range of applications including glob-top dispensing and dispensing of UV light-curable adhesives in medical-device manufacturing.

Model 485 is available as a stand-alone item for mounting into automated systems, or combined with the Dymax DVC-345 bench-top valve controller and material reservoirs of various styles and sizes. Additional accessories, such as valve stands and various style dispense tips, are also available for this system.

Contact us to make an enquiry about Dymax Model 485.

Fisnar, a leading manufacturer of dispensing equipment, has just launched a new line of THERMADOSE^® hot melt production equipment that will be available immediately from Ellsworth Adhesives Europe. Machine improvements to the new system provide the ultimate in pulse-free, temperature controlled, thermoplastic dispensing for industrial applications using pressure-sensitive adhesives, contact adhesives, waxes and sealants.

THERMADOSE^® Reservoir tanks are coated with inert PTFE heated by quick-change cartridges for easy maintenance and the Tank controllers include independent over-temperature and over-pressure protection for safe operation. Independently controlled heat zones minimize adhesive degradation for precise, uniform patterns.

Operation of the new equipment is simple – control settings are input using an easy-to-use touch-pad providing simple and rapid setup while LED indicators monitor operation status and functions. Machines can be configured for use in manual and automated applications using either a hand-valve or automated-valve applicator.

Pail and Drum Melters in the THERMADOSE machine handle high volume production requirements of hot melt EVA, PSA, and PUR, supplied from 5 gal (20 L) pails or 55 gal (200 L) drums. Melters include precision gear-pump technology providing pulse-free flow of adhesive for precise gluing applications.

For any enquiries please contact our team. 

Hot melt systems such as the new Thermadose system from Fisnar are suitable for direct-contact, non-woven, ribbon-coating, high-speed jetting and product assembly operations. Ellsworth Adhesives Europe has a wider range of dispensing equipment which can be viewed here.
