Application technology optimizes adhesive usage, cuts costs



August 1, 2008 - EcoPattern™ technology for PatternJet hot-melt labeling systems from Nordson Corp., Duluth, GA, applies tiny spirals of adhesive to reduce consumption up to 90%. Accurate application of adhesive at any speed improves process control, production efficiency, while significantly reducing maintenance costs, scrap rates. Moreover, system eliminates adhesive circulation, provides superior insulation, resulting in more than 50% energy savings compared to typical wheel-pot labeling system. Less adhesive also simplifies container recycling. “By substantially decreasing the amount of adhesive required, the EcoPattern technology allows manufacturers to both meet their efficiency targets and respond effectively to the growing demand for environmentally friendly packaging,” says Olivier Huss, labeling industry sales manager.
