At Baumer hhs, Krefeld, everything revolves around maximising the efficiency of adhesive application in the production of folding boxes and corrugated board packaging. The company will be shedding light on the various facets of this challenging topic, as maximum efficiency in adhesive application not only means higher productivity and profitability, but also greater sustainability.
The reliability and high precision of the technology enables customers to significantly reduce their adhesive use and waste. This benefits the eco-balances of their companies and their products.
With the new GlueCalc app for smartphonesthe amplifier board dot board for the electric tesla hot melt valves and Xfeed For the centralised supply of hot melt systems with adhesive granulate, the company is presenting three innovative solutions that meet both the economic and ecological objectives of packaging production.
A key to the Reduced adhesive consumption is the conversion of the adhesive application from adhesive beads to Adhesive dots. For many types of packaging, the amount of adhesive applied can be reduced by 50 per cent or more without compromising on the quality and safety of the bond.
Depending on the production volume, Baumer hhs customers realise the following Cost savings ranging from a few thousand to several tens of thousands of euros per year. Added to this are lower CO2-emissionswhich go hand in hand with reduced adhesive consumption.
In this sense, the dot board amplifier card supports the changeover for hot melt applications The dot board converts the input signals for the tesla hot melt valves into high-frequency signals, which then apply several dots of adhesive instead of beads.
The quality of even the smallest dots of adhesive is reliably monitored with the high-performance sensor technology from Baumer hhs: it effortlessly keeps up with even the highest machine speeds.
Xfeed supplies up to 20 hot melt units from a central storage location automatically and according to demand with adhesive granulate, whereby the system has a uniquely high conveying capacity. Distances up to 200 metres bridged.
