TOP TIP #1

This month’s top tip is all about blocked nozzles and how to prevent them. This issue often occurs on production lines and causes downtime due to the size of nozzles being very small, so when any foreign bodies get into the line, the nozzle can easily become blocked.

Make sure you keep your adhesives in a clean storage bin with the lid shut to avoid any debris getting caught in the nozzles. We provide storage bins for our adhesives as part of our starter kit, check it out on our blog through the link ⬇!
