>Description
The 3M 7000121615 hot melt applicator is an industrial grade dispensing tool made for consistent, high throughput adhesive application across production and assembly operations. Designed to accept standard 1 inch x 3 inch hot melt sticks, the applicator supports both high volume and detail tasks with controllable output rates up to 5.5 to 7.5 lb/hr depending on model and feed. Lightweight and ergonomically contoured, the unit reduces operator fatigue while enabling precise bead placement and minimal adhesive waste. Typical users pair this applicator with compatible 3m hot melt glue gun adhesives for assembly, packaging, fastening and lamination processes that require repeatable, measurable bond performance.
Product Features and Benefits
Variable throughput for production needs
Output capability ranges from 5.5 to 7.5 lb/hour depending on model and feed method to match both high volume and detail work requirements.
Fixed and variable temperature options
Available models operate at fixed 265 to 385 °F or variable ranges to accommodate low melt and high temperature adhesives useful for glue gun with temperature control workflows.
Accepts industry standard adhesive sizes
Designed for 1 inch x 3 inch (25 mm x 76 mm) sticks with Quadrack and PG configurations supported via converters for longer run times and reduced reloads.
Ergonomic controls and reduced operator fatigue
Contoured grip, wide trigger and optional palm trigger reduce repetitive motion strain and improve placement accuracy in continuous use.
Fast, reliable operation and reduced waste
On demand feed and progressive technologies minimize dripping and material loss while improving cycle time and bond consistency.
Durable, serviceable design
500 W power rating, rear feed ports (where applicable) and included stands or magazine feeds support continuous operation and easy maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What adhesive sizes and stick types does this applicator accept?
It accepts 1" x 3" (25 mm x 76 mm) sticks and supports Quadrack/PG configurations with appropriate converters.
Does this Industrial hot melt glue gun provide temperature control for different adhesives?
Some models in the family offer fixed temperatures (265 °F / 385 °F) and others provide variable temperature control to suit different hot melts.
What output rate can I expect for industrial hot melt glue applications?
Depending on model and feed type, output ranges from approximately 2.6 lb/hr (LT models) up to 7.5 lb/hr (PG II Speedloader models).
At what temperature does the hot glue melt for standard and high temperature sticks?
Low-melt sticks typically melt around 265 °F (129 °C) and high temperature formulations melt near 385 °F (196 °C), per applicator model specifications.
