Efficient and environmentally friendly gluing

An extraordinary packaging experience: this is what Robatech promises with its relaunch at Ipack-Ima of the claim “glue to perfection”, presenting the complete range of adhesive application solutions. Suitable for numerous packaging and labeling processes, they provide reliable responses in terms of energy efficiency, resource savings, sustainability and Industry 4.0.

A leading manufacturer in the field of bonding solutions, Robatech has always worked closely with its customers. And it is precisely from the constant dialogue with the market that state-of-the-art proposals arise, able to satisfy their needs. Innovative design technologies make Robatech the industry leader for energy efficiency, thanks to the use of sophisticated insulation techniques that reduce energy consumption. The precision at very high speeds and the proverbial reliability of systems designed to achieve maximum energy efficiency also allow significant savings in terms of adhesive, materials and resources.

Systems and ideas on show
In the Ipack-Ima spotlight, there are many solutions that testify to Robatech’s production and market philosophy.

• SX LongLife. An insulated application head is perfect for precision dot and bead application at medium to high speeds in processes such as paper carton wrapping or top loading and many others that require a reliable and durable adhesive application. Thanks to a specially developed jetting element and robust solenoid valve, it is particularly long-lasting, with the potential to reach up to 200 million operation cycles.

• RobaFeed 3. The new automatic filling for adhesive melters for increased safety and efficiency. The level monitoring of the tank is preventing the system from running empty and furthermore operators are protected from possible burns. With this, an efficient and safe glue application is assured.

• Ready for “Industry 4.0”. The integration of adhesive systems into machines - not only physically, but also technically via an interface - will be a highlight of the trade fair. The technology enables central management via the machine control - even per remote access using a smartphone or tablet. Moreover, all required information is transmitted in real time to the control. Thus, the adhesive systems are ready for the “Industry 4.0” concept and enable a prompt response as well as predictive and preventive maintenance.

• AntiSlip: transport on more sustainable pallets. Among the proposals studied to reduce the environmental impact of packaging, the AntiSlip gluing solution ensures greater stability of the pallets, thanks to the special application of hotmelt directly on the packaging. With this method also the need of wrapping it with plastic foil and intermediate layerpads is reduced significantly. Hence, resources can be saved, and costs reduced.
