H.B. Fuller announces two advances for the Liquamelt adhesive system–a bulk feed option that eliminates the need for on-floor staff to refill the adhesive reservoir and a gateway I/O option that will allow the system’s operation to be monitored by the packaging machine control system. The bulk feed capability is accomplished by the delivery of Liquamelt adhesive in a large container that is replaced when emptied. The bulk delivery option allows containers to be located remotely and the Liquamelt adhesive to be safely transferred from the sealed containers to the packaging machines through common non-heated fluid hoses. Three bulk container sizes are offered: 30 liter drum, 50 gallon drum, and 2,500 pound tote. The gateway I/O option enables external communication and provides machine health status. It will allow monitoring of the Liquamelt adhesive system by the OEM equipment and ensure efficient and reliable line operation.
