Abstract:
1. A packaging system comprising: an adhesive seal system with an extruder and a dispensing nozzle, wherein the extruder is a horizontal extruder with a barrel enclosing at least one internal heater that defines one of four individually temperature controlled heat zones, the extruder having a length with longitudinally opposing first and second end portions, the second end portion defining an exit port; and an adhesive fluid flow path including the extruder and dispensing nozzle comprising at least four discrete automatic temperature controlled heat zones, wherein the adhesive fluid flow path is a single curvilinear flow path that maintains an arcute configuration which rises above the extruder while traveling a direction toward the first end portion of the extruder away from the exit port before traveling down to the dispensing nozzle, wherein the extruder is substantially horizontally oriented and is stationary, wherein the fluid flow path has a single curvilinear conduit that is adjacently attached to the exit port and extends toward the first end portion of the extruder and is configured such that, when viewed from a side in relationship to a longitudinal direction of the extruder, the arcuate shape resides between the opposing first and second end portions of the horizontal extruder, and wherein the nozzle is able to translate up and down between about 3-6 inches between a home position and a lower operative position.
