Adhesive application is an important process in many packaging manufacturing operations.
As manufacturers move toward automated production, industrial adhesive application equipment can help integrate adhesive processes into high-volume production lines.
KQ Automation develops automatic adhesive and tape application solutions for packaging applications.
What Is Industrial Adhesive Application Equipment?
Industrial adhesive application equipment is designed to apply adhesive materials in a controlled and repeatable manufacturing process.
Depending on the application, the equipment may handle:
- Double-sided tape
- Easy tear tape
- Hot melt adhesive
- Release liner
- Other packaging adhesive applications
The equipment configuration depends on the adhesive and product requirements.
Why Is Automated Adhesive Application Important?
Consistent Application
Automation can help maintain consistent adhesive positioning and application conditions.
Higher Production Efficiency
Automatic application reduces repetitive manual operations.
Better Process Control
Parameters such as adhesive width, thickness, amount, or application length can be controlled according to the selected process.
Production Line Integration
Adhesive application can be integrated into an existing packaging machine or production line.
Hot Melt Adhesive Application
Hot melt adhesive is an important option for certain packaging applications.
KQ's hot melt adhesive solution can be used with release liner application processes.
The basic concept is:
Hot Melt Adhesive → Controlled Coating → Release Liner → Product Application
This approach can provide flexibility for high-consumption packaging applications.
Inline Adhesive Application
For manufacturers with existing packaging equipment, an inline adhesive application module can be integrated into the production line.
Potential applications include:
- Folder gluer machines
- Paper bag machines
- Printing equipment
- Packaging production lines
This allows manufacturers to improve automation without necessarily replacing the complete production system.
How KQ Develops an Adhesive Application Solution
KQ starts with the customer's application rather than simply recommending a standard machine.
Important factors include:
Product Structure
What is the product and where should adhesive be applied?
Adhesive Type
Should the process use double-sided tape, easy tear tape, or hot melt adhesive?
Production Requirements
What production speed and application consistency are required?
Existing Equipment
Can the application system be integrated into the current production line?
Based on these factors, KQ can develop a suitable automatic adhesive application solution.
Conclusion
Industrial adhesive application equipment plays an important role in packaging automation.
The most suitable solution depends on the product, adhesive, production process, and existing equipment.
KQ Automation provides automatic tape application, hot melt adhesive, release liner, and inline retrofit solutions for packaging manufacturers seeking to improve production automation.
