  • Page 22: Material Application

    Applicators Material Application Sample Calculation Nordson recommends following the sample calculation before starting up the applicator and making a note of the application-specific values for application weight and width, substrate speed and pump output capacity. These values can be used to calculate the pump speed and material quantity. The results of the calculations are also entered in the table.
