The DATCO Big Roll

The DATCO Big Roll is an expansion of the DATCO Hot Roll series. It offers a greater range of sizes and, most importantly, double the glue capacity. The Big Roll is a highly customizable solution for packaging and product assembly projects that need increased capacity without the cost of a bulk melter.

The Big Roll is loaded with features that drive productivity. A variable-speed motor lets you set the speed of the roll to increase output. Additional heaters cut downtime by bringing the machine up to temperature faster. And a microprocessor temperature control displays both the set point and the actual temperature to ensure accuracy.

Big Roll Features (All Models)

  • 4½" diameter rolls increase the reservoir size to 1 lb of glue per inch of roll length
  • Fastest heating available in the DATCO line
  • Delta microprocessor temperature controls with digital display
  • Brother International AC gear motors
  • Electronic variable-frequency (variable speed) drive
  • Under-temperature protection (the motor cannot start until the unit is up to temperature)
  • Unique EZ-Just cam-actuated doctor blade to easily adjust glue application thickness

Tabletop Big Rolls
