ADF Innovation Awards Spotlight | CG-HP40 Multigun by LINDAL Group

May 9, 2023

This product was presented the Industrial & Technical Application award at the ADF Innovation Awards on 25 & 26 January 2023. Read on to discover why our jury selected this product as a winner.

Industrial & Technical Application award winner: CG-HP40 Multigun

Please describe the brief for the pack. What were the objectives for the innovation project? What were the requirements and constraints?

The aim of this project was to create a unique caulking gun suitable for all degrees of viscosity, giving the user one gun for all caulking jobs. The gun needed to have easy and stepless adjustability that was self-explanatory to the user. It also needed to be ergonomically optimal with well-balanced distribution of weight and a soft grip and trigger shape with an attractive design. We had to create a robust gun that is light weight and within the acceptable dimension limits so it can be used with different hand sizes.

How did the pack fulfil the brief? Please describe the technical innovations in the pack and the challenges they address?

The product included the development of an adjustable mechanism allows the user to change the thrust ratio from 12:1 (medium viscosity) up to 25:1 (extreme viscosity). Thanks to a dedicated light-weight aluminum barrel the center of gravity is moved to the handgrip, resulting in a perfect weight balance for the user. Other key features include a plastic cover which is attached on the locking plate facilitates the pressure release and a specially designed handgrip with soft cover results in optimized ergonomics. Finally clear communication is mentioned on the product.

Why do you believe this pack deserves to win an Innovation Award?

Previously users would have to buy different guns with different thrust ratios (low, medium and high). The CG-HP40 Multigun offers a simple solution to users giving them one solution for every possible job. The product also offers saving in the long term as trades people only need to buy one gun instead of three. Finally a revolutionary stepless system also allows users to set and fine-tune the required thrust ratio, which is perfectly in line with the material and temperature.

Le parfum peut être rechargé en 80 ml et 50 ml, car ils partagent le même capuchon de pulvérisation, réduisant ainsi le gaspillage de produit.

Who did you work with on this project?

Novatech are the brand owner, who worked together with LINDAL Group to design and manufacture the product.

Congratulations to all those involved in the creation of this innovative pack! Entries for the Innovation Awards 2024 will open in the autumn of this year.
