Sustainability

Sustainability and efficiency are key drivers in the modern packaging industry. From food and beverage businesses looking to minimize waste to e-commerce businesses that rely on box-on-demand production, sustainability remains an important topic across industries. Nordson Packaging offers innovative adhesive dispensing systems equipped with melt-on-demand technology and intelligent adhesive tracking systems. Our solutions offer significant advantages that can enhance sustainability and operational efficiency. 

For applications such as pallet stabilization or case and carton sealing, adhesive dispensing solutions minimize or eliminate the use of plastic or foil wrapping. Nordson solutions have helped customers save up to 270 tons of film per year.

The Adhesive Tracking System (ATS) is a key factor for maintaining production quality. It tracks adhesive consumption and add-on weight per product with user-adjustable adhesive-volume tolerance ranges.

• Adhesives typically can vary +/-25% batch-to-batch in viscosity, which translates directly into weight variation.
• A 1°C temperature difference is typically a 3-4% change in dispense weight.
• Even skilled machine operators find it difficult to detect a 25% change by visual inspection, let alone a 15% or 10% change.
  
  

This advanced monitoring ensures that any production quality issues are immediately recognized and corrected, preventing production losses and ensuring consistent output.

 

Designed for ongoing production process improvement, Blue Series II Hoses enhance thermal uniformity, reducing energy consumption by up to 10% and shortening warm-up time by up to 7%. This hose minimizes char formation and prevents the application of too much or too little adhesive by maintaining a stable temperature and viscosity. Precise adhesive application prevents waste from over or under-application of adhesive.
