Baumer hhs is focussing on the topic of sustainability at Fachpack in Nuremberg. This includes the optimisation of packaging solutions, as the company wants to support customers in improving the life cycle assessments of products. There will be a live demo of the application of bio-based adhesives at the trade fair.
Improving the eco-balance of products ranges from minimising adhesive consumption and waste to flexibility in the processing of adhesives made from renewable raw materials and sustainable packaging materials through to increasing energy efficiency.
„At this year's FachPack, we will be placing a strong focus on the latest opportunities that our technology and services offer for improving sustainability in packaging production. We will be demonstrating how our technology goes hand in hand with the highest quality bonding and high-performance, efficient production processes.“
Martin Kotecki, Business Development Manager Packaging at Baumer hhs
In a live demo, the company presents the Application of bio-based adhesives with its electric tesla hot melt valves. These energy-efficient high-end valves enable high precision in the application of both defined adhesive dots and adhesive beads, which is why the Optimise or minimise adhesive consumption can be used. The tesla valves also offer flexibility in the processing of adhesives made from renewable raw materials. The advantage for packaging manufacturers is that they become more independent in terms of procurement.
„As we develop and produce all components of our adhesive application and quality assurance systems in-house, we can flexibly adapt them to the requirements of applying bio-based adhesives and processing new sustainable packaging materials - from our energy-efficient melters to our application valves.“

The patented Coating HP-500 SB application head for sustainable paper and sack production is another highlight. With its snuff-back hotmelt technology, it enables applications in which In the past, plastics were used to replace these materials with paper.
