Pattern Glue Applicators



The Tamarack glue applicator prints patterns of cold glue across the web and is installed on collators and finishing equipment.

 

 

Business forms collator applications. Cross-glued forms include pocket forms, continuous envelopes, peel-apart mailers, and free-insert mailers. The glue applicator is installed at any station of the collator in minutes; standard models are available for most collators, complete with provision for mounting and drive.

Finishing equipment applications. Installed on Tamarack Versa-Web® and Card Applicator equipment, the glue applicator prints patterns of cold glue to affix windows, labels, stencils, plastic or paper cards, and other materials to carriers. Glue applicator models also print glue patterns for fold and seal mailers. Glue applicators for other finishing equipment are also available.



Produce These Higher Profit Business Forms
 
Cross-glued forms provide your customers with efficient business systems, and cross-gluing adds value to the forms you produce. Many form sizes can be produced to give your customers the variety the they need. Here are some of the forms you can add to your product line:
 

Return Mailers:
Return envelopes become a part of invoices and statements and encourage prompt response. Computer printed account numbers on the envelope speed reconciliation when payments are received.

Pocket Forms:
Work order jackets, expense vouchers, etc. are computer printed, then are used to store tickets, requisitions, notes, and receipts.

Side Opening Envelopes:
Continuos envelopes can be computer addressed for mailings. Side opening envelope plies can be added to the form for the return of information or payment

Notice and Response Mailers:
Examples include subscription renewals, fundraising solicitations, and promotional offers. A return stub is removed at a perforation and mailed in the return envelope.

Peel Apart mailers:
Office copy, addressed envelope, and hidden-entry inside ply are computer printed simultaneously. The forms are immediately ready for mailing. The recipient tears off the stub and peels back the top ply to reveal the message. A return envelope can be included inside the mailer. These popular mailers are used for notices, grade reports, statements, invoices, and promotional advertising.

Equipment Features For Fast/Easy Setup
 
Simple Fountain Adjustment
The doctor blade adjusts quickly for accurate glue regulation. The blade is plastic and won't scratch the cylinder. Teflon-impregnated fountain cylinder and glue pans make clean-up easy.


Accurate Impression Adjustment
Proper impression adjustment is essential for printing high quality glue lines. One knob adjusts plate to paper. One adjustment does not alter the other, and cylinders remain parallel. Correct settings are locked with a simple thumbnut.

 
Easy Registration Adjustment
Plate cylinders adjust side to side without loss of vertical setting. Vertical compensation by a hand knob provides continuos fine adjustment in either direction to place the glue pattern right where you want it.

Optional Circulating Glue System
 
As an option to adding glue manually, glue can be pumped into the pan with a circulating glue system. The pump system saves operator time; while the job is running, the glue fountain is maintained automatically, avoiding the need to refill the pan.
 
The complete glue system, suitable for most glues, includes an air-driven diaphragm pump with regulator, air supply hose, supply and drain hoses, and 5-gallon buckets - ready for production.

Plate Cylinders Available For All Form Lengths
 
Slotted or Scribed for Fast Set-Up
The plate cylinder is slotted or scribed to receive stock rubber strips that print the glue pattern across the web. The rubber strips replace custom molded rubber plates; the strips are simply cut to length and fastened with their adhesive backing.

Slotted cylinders are recommended for most jobs. The slots provide a flat surface to mount the rubber strips, space them accurately around, and straight across the cylinder.

Scribed cylinders have lines scribed across the cylinder and also every 1/2 inch around to form a grid-like pattern for the placement of rubber strips. Scribed cylinders are recommended when 'u-shaped" or other special patterns will regularly be printed.
 
Wide Range of Circumference Sizes Available
The plate cylinder assembly can be changed to provide standard or special form lengths. 7 to 22 inch circumference cylinders are slotted or scribed for multiple repeats. For example, 11 inch cylinders provide glue pattern repeats every 3-2/3, 5-1/2, and 11 inches.

Smaller circumference sizes - such as 8-1/2 or 11 inch - are recommended; these smaller circumference sizes save plate cost and operator time because there are fewer patterns to set up around the cylinder. The larger circumference sizes - such as 17 and 22 inch - do offer the advantage of all repeat combinations being available from one cylinder. For example a 22 inch circumference cylinder will provide 3-2/3, 5-1/2, 7-1/3, and 22 inch repeats.

Plate cylinder assemblies are available for every form size.
