Featuring manual triggering options via footswitch and/or PLC/HMI color touchscreen button, this unit offers flexibility and ease of operation.

Instantbond® Adhesives:

Hernon's INSTANTBOND adhesives offer multiple viscosities and curing times, making them suitable for a wide range of bonding applications. With specialty formulas for surface insensitivity or low blooming, INSTANTBOND adhesives excel at bonding varying surfaces, including metal, electronics, rubber, ceramics, vinyl, plastics, and more.

React® Reactive Adhesives:

Hernon's REACT reactive adhesives are two-part, no-mix formulations designed for easy application, high-speed production, and maximum setup time. With high peel and impact strength, these adhesives deliver superior bonding ability even on oily surfaces, offering tough, durable, shock, and weather-resistant bonds.

Sureshot® 2200 Dispensing Valves:

The Sureshot® 2200 dispensing valves accurately control the application of most low to medium viscosity fluids. Manufactured from Delrin® or Teflon®, all wetted components are fully compatible when dispensing a wide variety of adhesives, sealants, ultraviolet curing polymers, anaerobics, cyanoacrylates, lubricants and more.
