Used Nordson Equipment Sold by Meadoworks

Nordson Corporation was founded in 1954 in Amherst, Ohio, when brothers Eric and Evan Nord acquired patents for the "hot airless" spray method and established Nordson as a division of U.S. Automatic Corporation. Over the following decades the company expanded from spray finishing into hot melt adhesive dispensing, going public in 1967 and growing into a global manufacturer with operations in more than 35 countries. A pivotal acquisition came in 2012 when Nordson purchased Extrusion Dies Industries (EDI), folding its deep flat-die expertise into Nordson's polymer processing portfolio and creating the Nordson EDI brand that continues to supply sheet and film dies to processors worldwide.

The two product lines most relevant to industrial buyers are Nordson's Adhesive Dispensing Systems and its EDI Polymer Processing Systems. The adhesive side centers on hot melt melters — including the ProBlue Flex, VersaBlue, and AltaBlue series — which range from compact tank units to large-capacity 100-liter bulk melters, all paired with applicators, hoses, and control systems for precise, repeatable adhesive deposition. On the extrusion side, Nordson EDI produces the Ultraflex family of flat sheet dies, engineered with customized coat-hanger manifolds and options such as FastGap and SmartGap lip-adjustment technology to deliver uniform thickness across a wide range of thermoplastic materials and widths.

Nordson adhesive dispensing equipment serves packaging, nonwovens, hygiene products, food and beverage, e-commerce fulfillment, and product assembly industries. Nordson EDI sheet dies are used by plastics processors producing material for automotive components, construction products, consumer goods packaging, and specialty films. Together these product lines touch virtually every segment of high-volume manufacturing that requires controlled application or precise shaping of polymer materials.

Used Nordson equipment commands strong secondary-market demand for several reasons. The ProBlue and VersaBlue melter platforms are known for their robust construction, long service life, and wide availability of genuine replacement parts, making refurbished units a cost-effective alternative to new. EDI sheet dies are precision-machined tools that retain their dimensional accuracy for many years; a well-maintained used Nordson EDI die can be repolished and returned to production at a fraction of new-die cost. Buyers also value the brand's global service network, which supports older equipment with parts and technical documentation long after original sale.
