Nordson Pallet Stabilization Systems Extend Stability Protection to Reduce Damage and Waste



Thursday, October 26, 2000

DULUTH, Georgia - October 24, 2000 - Pallet stabilization systems from Nordson Corporation (Nasdaq - NDSN) securely unitize palletized products using hot melt or cold adhesives, reducing product waste and damage. Adhesive pallet stabilization also complements stretch- or shrink-wrap systems by maintaining stability after wrap removal. Adhesive applied to the corners of cases, cartons or bags provides slip resistance to each package, eliminating shifted loads before and during shipping. Pallets retain stability after wrap removal, reducing potential accidents caused by product falling from high-rack storage. Adhesive stabilization is also effective with slippery or coated box surfaces and slip-sheet reinforcement on column-stacked loads. Manufacturers can choose from several configurations to match individual production volume and control parameters. Further flexibility is provided with dispensing options using bead, spiral or spray patterns to accommodate package handling, fiber tear and aesthetic requirements. Available with or without an equipment cart, each integrated system provides simple-to-use controls, precise pumping and adhesive dispensing and cut-off. The choice of dispensing hot melt or cold adhesive allows packagers to efficiently manage product shipping and storage requirements. Hot melt adhesives handle most board stock without fiber tear and maintain stability on partial or mixed pallets, even when restacked. Cold adhesives leave minimal residue and withstand ambient heat and humidity conditions.
