APEX™ FOR INTERMITTENT HIGH-SPEED SLOT APPLICATION
ITW’s Dynatec APEX™ intermittent high-speed slotting applicator beats other solutions in its class and at a lower cost, which translates to the best value among products available in the industry. There are two factors that must be controlled in any hot melt adhesive job: product waste and adhesive waste. APEX™ is unrivalled here with its clean, clear glue cut-off. Our design incorporates reverse-action modules and optimised pattern-specific channels, which operate in a way that is only available to equipment from ITW Dynatec. APEX™ applicators have been tested under real-world conditions with a wide range of adhesives and substrates. They have been shown to minimise adhesive and product waste, resulting in significant savings for customers every day.
FEATURES
- Ideal applicator for precise application of glue patterns in high-speed intermittent application
- Optional non-heated head extensions for easier handling of substrates
- Pneumatic modules with spring-loaded closure for precise shut-off
- The design of the head outlet prevents accumulation of unwanted materials
- Self-cleaning head outlets allow the use of different adhesive viscosities
- Easy system integration due to compact design

BF MARATHON SLOT DIE™ ADHESIVE APPLICATOR
The BF Marathon Slot Die™ applicator module is designed as an air-operated opening and closing system in which the closing of the bore during operation does not depend on spring action. This results in a cleaner cut-off with improved performance and extended service life. While this type of function can be optional on competitor modules, only ITW Dynatec offers it as standard on the BF Mod-Plus Marathon™ adhesive applicator. The assembly includes a set of 5 brass locating washers, which can be easily cut to the width to suit the customer’s needs.
FEATURES
- The module with standard pneumatic opening and closing provides a forced shut-off and switch-on cycle
- Platinum sensor provides better temperature control than nickel sensors
- Quick-clamp system for easy installation
- Included set of 5 0.004 brass lock washers
- Built-in heated filter with the largest surface area available on the market extends filter life and reduces nozzle clogging

Separate glue inlet for each modular section or a single common glue inlet for the entire applicator
SIMPLICITY
Different application widths available thanks to interchangeable adjustment pads for easy adjustment of the adhesive pattern
RELIABILITY
The most accurate distribution of glue across the web in this class of machine
EQUITY C™ SLOT APPLICATOR FOR CONTINUOUS APPLICATION
The Equity™ continuous slot die coating head (slot die) is a reliable applicator with a long service life equipped with many cost-saving features. This makes it unrivalled in its class in terms of the benefits it brings. The durability of the unit is matched by an accuracy of ±10% of adhesive distribution across the web. ITW Dynatec has designed the Easy-Cut Shim system to give customers the flexibility they need. Our shims are available in solid bronze and stainless steel versions. They are perforated to make them easy to cut and ensure an exact fit. These shims are offered in a standard thickness of 0.15 mm and in thicknesses of 0.20, 0.30, 0.40 and 0.50 mm. Our easy-cut pads are ideal for simple pattern applications, but can also be customised for specific, more complex patterns without perforations if that is the customer’s need.
FEATURES
- Modular sections allow the applicator to be extended in 50 mm steps
- Flexible adhesive pattern allows full coating, striping or multi-line patterns to be applied
- Exceptional glue distribution across the web with ±10% accuracy
