Abstract

A process for sealing molded end caps to filter tubes comprises providing a holder for an end cap and a means for automatically dispensing a predetermined quantity of a hot, molten adhesive into the end cap. After the adhesive is added to the end cap, a filter cartridge is inserted into the end cap under slight pressure to embed the ends of the filter in the adhesive. Subsequent cooling of the adhesive results in an effective seal.
