Baumer hhs Offers New Solutions To E-Commerce Box Makers At SCE The COVID 19 pandemic has driven up demand around the globe for e-commerce boxes and other delivery pack- aging sealed with pressure-sensitive adhesive. Boxes containing purchased items typically are sealed with adhesive strips that are applied by hot melt systems and then covered with silicone tape. These pressure-sen- sitive adhesive closures securely seal the packaging. As market leader for these applications, Baumer hhs aims to further improve its already very successful and highly pro- ductive system, simplify operation and increase reliability. The e-commerce market imposes increasing demands on the quality of pressure-sensitive adhesive application. “These days, systems that apply adhesive strips are ex- pected to deposit perfect, uniform layer thicknesses and accurately cover them with silicone tape, even when dis- pensing high quantities at high production speeds,” said Andreas Schneiders, Corrugated Business Development Manager at Baumer hhs. “The more homogeneous the contact surface, the more reliably and securely the boxes can be sealed. In addition, homogeneous contact surfac- es facilitate the work of employees in shipping, who no longer have to manually smooth over the closures to firm- ly seal them.” Baumer hhs is launching an improved hot melt system for applying pressure-sensitive adhesive on corrugated and cardboard surfaces that achieves consistent applica- tion quality and a high melt rate. It supports the produc- tion of premium quality e-commerce boxes and delivery packaging with pressure-sensitive adhesive closures that will dramatically increase the reliability of the shipping process in online trade. The new hot melt system can result in higher produc- tivity, quality and flexibility combined with maximum reli- ability, safety and cost-efficiency: It has a melt rate of 100 kg/h with pressure-sensitive adhesives, meaning it offers one of the highest levels of efficiency on the market. An- other highlight is the special application head, designed specifically for these applications. In combination with a new volumetric flow controller, it guarantees unique per- formance at maximum production speeds. For example, given correct settings and suitable am- bient conditions, it can achieve adhesive application weights of up to 500 g/m2. The uniform contact surfaces it produces are the ideal basis for strong and secure glued closures. What is more, absolutely clean cut-off and min- imal tailing ensure that no pressure-sensitive adhesive is smeared onto other areas of the packaging or drawn into the machine. The new application head also affords users maximum flexibility in selecting pressure-sensitive adhesives: It can process a variety of adhesives with a range of high vis- cosities. “With our new hot melt system, manufacturers of
