Nordson Carousel Labeling Systems with PatternJet Gun Technology Maximize Production Efficiency



Friday, October 20, 2006

Nordson Corporation (Nasdaq -NDSN) will display the new carousel labeling system featuring patent pending PatternJet™ gun technology in booth S-1530 at Pack Expo International in Chicago, IL, October 29 – November 2, 2006 as well as at the BevOps Conference in Phoenix, AZ, November 13-15, 2006. The labeling system, a direct replacement for wheel-pot systems, features two PatternJet guns, one at the pick-up and one at the lap seam. A non-contact PatternJet gun applies spiral-shaped dots or swirls of adhesive to the body of the container before the label is applied. After the label is applied, the second PatternJet gun integrated into the magazine, applies a strip of adhesive to the lap seam, sealing the label end. Ideal for carousel systems using wraparound labels, the PatternJet system is capable of handling line speeds up to 84,000 containers per hour. Nordson PatternJet labeling systems deliver a significant reduction in adhesive consumption, fewer product rejects and lower overall maintenance costs. The closed systems eliminate adhesive circulation and contamination from air, moisture and dust which can cause adhesive charring and degradation. Accurate application of adhesive to the container and label virtually eliminates unsightly adhesive squeeze-out and provides up to 70 percent adhesive savings over wheel-pot systems. Misalignment of bottles or cans typically caused by contact with adhesive wheels is eliminated, resulting in more consistent label application. In addition, deformed, irregular or odd-shaped cans or bottles do not negatively impact label application.
