General Info

SPRAYMATION, INC, is a manufacturer of electromechanical machinery and equipment for the application of thermoplastic and cold adhesives ( as well as dozens of other fluids -- including perfumes, lubricants, tars and sealants, and many others ) for industrial applications in packaging, product assembly, and nonwoven converting operations. Along with the adhesive application equipment line there are other products for automatic spray painting for supply to the automotive industry, and coating formulators for laboratory use. Almost every conceivable industry requires adhesive application equipment, whether it is used for sealing individual boxes of food products, sealing corrugated cases, bonding in various non-woven applications ( such as disposable diaper manufacturing ), or in constructing assembled products ( such as speaker enclosures ). Equipment is provided directly to end users and/or to Original Equipment Manufacturers ( OEMs ) who purchase for installation on equipment that they manufacture. In addition, equipment has also been supplied to automotive manufacturers and coating formulators to handle their requirements for painting test panels ( referred to as Automatic Test Panel Spray units ). Another product supplied for the fabrication of painting units to automatically coat the inside of electrical conduit, as is required by the National Electrical Code. Spraymation began in New Jersey in 1958, later moving its headquarters to Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 1978. In the beginning, the company was primarily involved in automatic spray painting applications, including the supplying of complete painting systems to companies such as General Motors and others for their automotive assembly plants throughout the world. In Spraymation's early years, much of its business related to automatic painting systems, including developing applicator heads for various fluids including adhesives. This development brought about the design and patent of the ELECTROMATIC Applicator Head, which today is the major component in all SPRAYMATION adhesive application systems. As design work continued on a complete adhesive application system, ELECTROMATIC Applicator Heads were provided for use with a customer's existing adhesive application system. Early versions of the ELECTROMATIC Applicator Head were not heated and were used for applying cold adhesives, paint, marking fluids, perfumes, and other similar fluids. Today, SPRAYMATION is primarily involved with the manufacturer and sale of adhesive dispensing equipment for the application of both cold adhesive and hot melts. SPRAYMATION no longer supplies complete automotive paint lines, but has retained many of the more critical types of equipment such as that designed to coat the inside of electrical conduit and our automatic test panels spray units. In fact, almost all automotive manufacturers and coating formulators throughout the world, have standardized on such automatic test panel units for their requirements of reproducing repeatable painted "test panels." In addition, new applications for our COMPUSPRAY and THERMOPULSE systems continue to be investigated. The ELECTROMATIC guns, both for cold adhesives and hot melts, continue to offer advantages to users and in fact, we offer "conversion kits" which allow ELECTROMATIC guns to be used with competitive systems. The unique ELECTROMATIC gun is actuated by a built in solenoid, and therefore does not require packings or seals, as is the case with the majority of competitive air operated heads. This results also in the ELECTROMATIC gun being able to actuate faster than such guns, making it ideal for high speed applications where small repeatable amounts of material are required to be dispensed. Currently SPRAYMATION markets its products throughout the world. In the United States we maintain a salesforce located throughout the country. European sales are handled by agents and certified distributors. We also have agents located in Japan, Australia, C
