Adhesive dispenser system
View Patent ↗A dispenser system employs a packaging module for use with moisture sensitive materials. The packaging module comprises an outer carton and an inner bladder, which is substantially impermeable to moisture and is filled with one part of an adhesive. The carton is loaded on a mobile cart and the one part adhesive is supplied to a pump/mixer without exposure to moisture in the atmosphere. The packaging and dispensing system can be used in conjunction with mechanized adhesive application equipment for the construction trades.
1. A method of dispensing a moisture sensitive adhesive with a mobile applicator system comprising:
a. providing a first package and a second package, each package having an outer container body with a planar top side and a planar bottom side and an inner flexible enclosure that is substantially impermeable to moisture and has an opening enclosed by a cap located above said top side and contains one part of an adhesive;
b. inverting each said package;
c. loading each said package onto a tray of said mobile applicator system so that each said top side rests on said tray in surface-to-surface relationship and each cap is located below the tray;
d. connecting a conduit for communication through each said opening without exposing each said one part to the atmosphere;
e. mixing each said part to form an adhesive; and
f. dispensing said adhesive.
2. The dispensing method of claim 1 wherein each said cap has a fitting with a valve and step d further comprises:
lifting each said valve to permit communication of said one part into said conduit.
3. The dispensing method of claim 1 wherein step d further comprises implementing a snap-fit connection between said fittings of each said cap and mixing conduit.
4. The method of claim 1 further comprising disconnecting each said conduit from communication through each said opening without exposing said one part in said inner enclosure to the atmosphere.
