Nordson EFD - Dispensing technology with precision and system
Nordson EFD stands for maximum precision in the dispensing of fluids in industrial applications worldwide. With decades of experience, a deep understanding of applications and an uncompromising commitment to quality, the company develops systems that make processes more efficient, safer and more economical. The centrepiece of the range is the Optimum® dosing system - a perfectly coordinated interaction of components such as needles, cartridges and dosing devices that sets standards in terms of repeat accuracy, process reliability and material savings.
A good dispensing system can be recognised by the fact that it remains in the background - because it works reliably and makes work easier. This is exactly what Nordson EFD achieves with its Optimum® all-purpose dispensing needles. The burr-free, passivated stainless steel tubes ensure uniform, drip-free dispensing of a wide variety of media. The polypropylene SafetyLok™ hubs ensure a secure, tight fit on the cartridge and prevent unwanted leakage. The result: clean processing, fewer rejects and consistent quality - whether for bonding, moulding or the precise application of very small quantities.
The matching Optimum® dispensing cartridges also follow this philosophy: thanks to their ZeroDraft™ geometry, the material flow is optimised and the residual quantity in the cartridge is reduced to a minimum. The choice of different sizes, transparent or UV-inhibiting materials and high chemical resistance make the cartridges the ideal solution for critical applications such as underfill, protective coating or medical adhesives.
Nordson EFD thinks of dispensing technology not just as hardware, but as an integrated system. This means that all components can be perfectly combined - from the cartridge to the needle to the dispenser. The latter impress with precisely adjustable pressure control, vacuum control and numerous programming functions. Regardless of whether it is micro-dispensing in the electronics sector or larger volumes in assembly: The devices deliver repeatable results, minimise material losses and enable reliable process control - even in continuous operation.
Special attention is paid to reducing material waste. Because every millilitre counts, especially in high-wage countries and with expensive media such as special adhesives or pharmaceutical substances. The intelligent design of the Optimum® components ensures that virtually no material is lost - neither through turbulence nor through residues in the cartridge or needle. At the same time, the high repeat accuracy of the dispensing reduces consumption per job - a factor that has a direct impact on unit costs in series production.
For use in demanding industries such as electronics production, medical technology or automotive, reliability and durability are just as important as precision. Nordson EFD fulfils these requirements with high-quality materials, strict quality controls and the consistent avoidance of contaminating substances such as silicone-based release agents. All components of the Optimum® system are certified and designed for process safety - ideal for sensitive production environments.
Since its foundation in 1963, Nordson EFD has consistently pursued the goal of improving industrial dispensing processes. Today, the company is one of the world's leading suppliers in the field of liquid dispensing - with a comprehensive product range that includes manual and semi-automatic dispensing solutions as well as robot-assisted systems. Intensive dialogue with users is a central component of the company's success: many innovations arise directly from specific customer challenges and are incorporated into customised system solutions.
Whether adhesives, oils, silicones or other liquids - Nordson EFD supplies the right dispensing system for every application. With a global network of sales and service partners, a wide range of products and a commitment to the highest quality, the company is now an integral part of numerous production lines - wherever precision counts.
