Manual Adhesive Applicators

When it comes to adhesive applicators, there are two main types: manual and automatic. Manual adhesive applicators are handheld pieces of adhesive equipment. This means that the adhesive requires the operator to use pressure and apply the adhesive. Manual applicators come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but all have one thing in common — the adhesive is applied by hand.

Automatic Adhesive Applicators

Automatic adhesive applicators, on the other hand, are large pieces of adhesive equipment that apply the adhesive for you. This means that there is no need to apply pressure; the adhesive is simply dispensed from the applicator onto the surface.

Benefits of Manual Adhesive Applicators

There are a few benefits to using manual adhesive applicators. First, they are less expensive than automatic adhesive applicators. Second, they allow for greater precision in applying the adhesive. Finally, they are perfect for smaller applications where automatic applicators would be overkill.

Benefits of Automatic Adhesive Applicators

Automatic adhesive applicators have a few key benefits over manual applicators. First, they are faster and more efficient than manual applicators. Second, they can handle larger applications than manual applicators. Finally, automatic adhesive applicators are less labor-intensive, making them perfect for large quantities of work.

 

 

The difference between manual and automatic adhesive applicators is largely determined by the size and scope of the application. If you are looking for a precision adhesive applicator that can handle smaller jobs, go with a manual adhesive applicator. If you need an automatic adhesive applicator for a larger job, don’t hesitate to call Rocky Mountain Adhesive to learn more about how we can help!
