The Harrisonburg, VA operations of Tenneco, Inc., specialize in the manufacture, packaging, and shipping of mufflers for cars, trucks, boats, and a range of heavy-duty industrial and agricultural vehicles. To seal shipping cases for these mufflers, the Harrisonburg plant had been using traditional adhesive tank glue melting and pumping equipment. But Tenneco decided that this system was not delivering optimum performance in terms of cost efficiency and seal integrity. They were encountering problems with case seal pop-opens, even prior to shipping.

Mike Moyers, Muffler Engineer at Tenneco, says, “We were working with our hot melt glue supplier Henkel to accomplish upgrades. Henkel recommended the Freedom® hot melt dispensing system from Nordson. We evaluated the Nordson system and determined that it offered important benefits to improve our case-sealing operations. It’s easily programmable to accommodate shut-off and stand-by modes. So we are able to prevent glue charring and reduce electrical power usage.”
