U.S. PATENT AWARDED ON FILTERED HOT MELT GLUE VALVE

U.S. Patent Number 6,799,702 was recently awarded to GoPro, Inc. Hendersonville, TN on a Next Level Technology™ filtered valve module designed to reliably dispense hot melt glues/adhesives without troublesome plugging. The valve module contains an internal stainless steel filter to prevent nozzle plugging; a floating valve stem assembly to reduce friction for longer seal and valve life; and a removable adhesive seal & filter cartridge for easy seal & filter replacement. The combined features and technology extends valve module life far above other module brands used by the industry for the past thirty years.

GoPro valve modules are available with industry standard mounting and porting patterns to upgrade most brands of hot melt glue/adhesive dispensing heads or guns.
