Mechanical or air-driven (pneumatic) glue gun?
A mechanical gun pushes the glue out as you squeeze the trigger, so it needs only power. An air-driven gun uses compressed air at 2 to 6 bar, so the operator only presses a trigger, which saves effort over a full shift. We'd usually suggest mechanical for occasional work or no air, and air-driven for long runs.
| Mechanical (MS 80 · MS 200 · MS 200.E · MS 200 LCD) | Air-driven (TR 50.5 · TR 55.2 LCD · TR 60 LCD · TR 700 · TR 70 LCD · TR 80 LCD) | |
|---|---|---|
| How glue is pushed | Your hand, through the trigger | Compressed air |
| You need | Power only | Power and compressed air, 2 to 6 bar, with an oil and water separator |
| How you set the flow | How hard and long you squeeze | Trigger, air pressure and nozzle size |
| Tank | 150 to 250 ml | 250 to 330 ml, or a 310 ml cartridge |
| Adhesive | Granulate, pillows, 43 mm sticks (MS 80: granulate, pillows, chips) | The same, plus cartridges, including PUR |
| Spray | No | TR 60 LCD, TR 80 LCD |
| Hands-free | No | Footswitch on every air-driven gun; bench mount on the TR 50.5, TR 55.2 LCD, TR 700 and TR 70 LCD |
| Price from (+ GST) | ₹77,180 | ₹1,18,650 |
When mechanical makes sense
Now-and-then work, samples and rework, moving around the plant, no compressed air at the workstation.
When air-driven makes sense
A full shift or a continuous line, spraying, hands-free bench work, PUR.
No compressed air?

Questions.
Does a pneumatic glue gun need a compressor?
Yes, it runs on compressed air. No compressor? We supply the complete setup: compressor below, work table, gun and stand on top.
What air pressure does it need?
Reka's start-up check asks for 2 to 6 bar, with an oil and water separator on the compressor.
Can a mechanical gun do all-day work?
It can, but the operator squeezes for every bead, so over a full shift an air-driven gun saves effort.
