Precision Slot Die Coating Systems | Universal Adhesive Systems
Precision Slot Die Coating Systems
Application of hot melt via a slot die is one of our special areas of expertise. As the Official UK Distributor for ITW Dynatec, we offer a comprehensive range of dies allowing coating widths from 1mm to 2 metres. Our motorized and air-actuated systems provide precise coatweights through gear-to-line control, ensuring uniform results for both continuous lines and intermittent patches.
Engineered for Consistency & Performance
Our ITW Dynatec slot die systems deliver unparalleled accuracy and reliability for B2B manufacturing in 2026.
Streak-Free Finish
Achieve flawless, homogenous application even on irregular or heat-sensitive substrates, ensuring perfect edge definition every time.
±3% Cross-Web Accuracy
CrossCoat metered slot applicators ensure cross-web distribution accuracies to ±3% with coat weights as low as 1gsm, significantly reducing material waste.
Full Robotic Integration
Motorized die positioning and recipe recall systems provide repeatable results, allowing for documented quality control across labeling and printing lines.
Industrial Slot Die Product Range

Apex – Intermittent Application Slot Die
The Apex die is engineered for high-speed, clean adhesive patches. Featuring integrated suckback modules, it ensures perfect cut-off the moment the die is deactivated. Primarily used for label and printing presses, it features a self-cleaning lip to support diverse adhesive viscosities.
| Max cycle speed | 10,000 cycles/min |
|---|---|
| Application width | Up to 500 mm / 19.6 in. |
| Adhesive viscosity | 100 - 20,000 cps |
| Max temperature | 200°C / 390°F |
| Adhesive pressure | 7 - 68 bar |
| Service | 230 VAC, 24 VDC |
Equity C – Continuous Application Slot Die
The Equity C delivers exceptionally accurate, all-over adhesive coating for web widths between 100mm and 1000mm. It features easy-cut shim technology, allowing operators to resize application zones without special tools. Modular glue inputs provide flexibility for complex multi-zone projects.
| Application width | 100mm to 900mm |
|---|---|
| Body construction | Coated aluminum |
| Slot die | D2 hardened steel |
| Temp range | 38°C to 200°C |
| Viscosity | 100 to 40,000 mPa |
| Pressure range | 7 to 68 bar |
CrossCoat – Non-Contact Adhesive Slot Die
The CrossCoat extrusion applicator is a non-contact, metered system designed for perfectly streak-free coating. By encapsulating surface contaminants rather than trapping them at the lip, it ensures consistent performance on irregular or heat-sensitive substrates while minimizing waste.
- Cross-web distribution accuracies to ±3%
- Ideal for ultra-low coat weights as low as 1gsm
- Supports coat weight and width changes during active production
Universal Hot Melt Coating Station
A great addition to any contact coating method. A fully automated, high-performance solution for in-line adhesive application. Featuring a Touchscreen HMI and motorized die control, it can be retrofitted onto existing presses by our UK engineers to deliver precise, repeatable coatweights for narrow web coating.
| Coating width | 330mm, 420mm, 620mm |
|---|---|
| Coating types | Direct, Proximity, Cross-web patching |
| Control | Precision motorized control |
| Interface | Touchscreen HMI |
