No theory beats a carefully executed practical test. For the gluing machine specialist Baumer hhs, the plant of the D\u00fcren-based folding carton manufacturer WestRock is an ideal test environment for its new cold glue valves and monitoring sensors.<\/strong><\/p>

The three-shift operation of WestRock<\/a> in Kreuzau-Stockheim specialises in the production of high-quality paper and cardboard packaging for confectionery. The first prototypes of the new PX 1000 cold glue valve and the new GDX 1000 cold glue monitoring sensor were installed at the plant at the end of 2020.<\/strong><\/p>

\"Baumer hhs<\/a> asked us in the autumn whether we would like to test a new cold glue valve in one of our folder gluers, which was developed especially for the production of complex packaging at high speeds<\/strong>\u201e, says Giuliano Terracciano, Head of Processing and Manager of the Gluing Department.<\/p>

Even after the first test runs in the equipped folder gluer the machine operators were convinced by the new technology<\/strong>. \u201eThe PX 1000 applies the adhesive precisely and delicately. It utilises this advantage for packaging products with small flaps and at high machine speeds,\u201c says Terracciano, explaining the changes brought about by the new valve.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In the production of folding telescope cartons with long-side gluing for chocolates, for example, the PX 1000 applies the glue lines precisely from the defined start to the specified end points. The device works also works perfectly and reliably when it has to switch relatively rarely<\/strong>, as is the case, for example, in the manufacture of folding bottom boxes.<\/p>
