In the beverage industry, reliable and precise adhesive dispensing systems are a key factor in ensuring the integrity of product packaging. Beverage packaging includes everything from labeling and properly bundling items into multipacks, to securely sealing cartons and applying wrap-arounds that protect beverages during transportation and storage. Our solutions deliver dependable, quality packaging for product safety and brand consistency.

The food industry relies on adhesive dispensing systems for creating secure, durable packaging that preserves product freshness and safety. From sealing cartons and cases to forming trays, hot melt applications ensure that food products are protected throughout the supply chain.

By utilizing precision dispensing systems, food companies can achieve uniform seals and labels, thereby enhancing the overall product presentation and consumer trust.

Minimize char, maximize uptime

A key to minimizing char is to keep the hot melt tank at a constant full level. This keeps the sides of the tank clean of adhesive residue or film. Our tankless melters with automatic fill systems help ensure the tank level is maintained to avoid char. When a tank containing char is refilled, this can cause multiple problems including unwanted down time, malfunctioning applicators and hoses, clogged nozzles, and more.
Char creates efficiency problems in other ways as well. It can cause increased costs due to product rejects and rework, pop-opens, char on packages, and jammed machines. The bottom line: where there’s char, there’s inefficiency and waste.

Nordson products are ideal for eliminating char to keep production moving smoothly.
