2 Index - What is efficiency? - Hotmelt Glueing Technology - Samples of improvement: - Labeling Technology - Cold glue application for American Boxes - Advanced application heads - Sift Proof Boxes

3 What is Efficiency? -Machine speed / output - Line availability / standstill time - Quality of the final product - Defective goods - Marketing aspects -Consumption of raw material - Packaging material - Energy - Adhesive - Product - Other costs - Maintenance / spare parts - Requested personnel / operators / engineering

4 Glueing Process

5 Glueing Process Existing Issues: - Blocked nozzles - Tailing / angel hair -Cut-off - Cost of adhesive

6 Sample 1: Wrap around labelling Wrap-Around Labelling

7 Sample 1: Wrap around labelling Existing Process: - Roller Applicator - No defined amount of adhesive - Adhesive is circulation in an open system - Loss of quality due aging, dust, - Maintenance - Wear on rollers - Format exchange - Frequent cleaning

8 Sample 1: Wrap around labelling New Process: - Spray for pick-up - Coating for tail sealing - Closed system: - Adjustable glue quantity - First-In / first-out - Format exchange without tools - Complete package / easy to integrate

9 Sample 1: Wrap around labelling Increase of Efficiency: - Up to 70% adhesive savings - Reduced maintenance - Machine availability - Cost for staff - Cost for spare parts - Easy handling / format exchange - Machine availability - Cost for staff - Better run ability of plastic labels

10 Sample 2: Flap glueing Glueing of American Boxes:

11 Sample 2: Flap glueing Existing Process: - Glue wheel - Over glueing / squeezing - Risk of splashes - Difficult to control the application weight - Application heads with contact - Board skewing - Tailing of adhesive - Difficult to adjust - Glued area not optimised

12 Sample 2: Flap glueing New Process: - Glue nozzle, without contact - First-In / First-Out - Precise adhesive dosing - Precise pattern placement, adjustable - Width between lines - Individual length of lines - Automatic adaptation - Easy to operate - Terminal designed for - 100% process control possible - Special glue detection

13 Sample 2: Flap glueing Increased Efficiency: - Precise adhesive positioning - Reduced adhesive consumption - No inside glueing / machine ability - Material saving / flap size - Process control: - 100% quality / supplier rating - Production in narrow limits - Specific operator terminal - Reduced loss / startup after changes

14 Sample 3: Hotmelt Application Head New Hotmelt Application Head: new

15 Sample 3: Hotmelt Application Head Existing Technology: - Bigger size - Hot surface - Standard valve technology - No guaranteed life-time

16 Sample 3: Hotmelt Application Head New Technology: - Full thermal insulation new - Advanced technology - Jetting element - Solenoid - Double acting - Incorporated filter

17 Sample 3: Hotmelt Application Head Increase of Efficiency: - Up to 60% energy saving - Fast response time: - Adhesive saving / precise application - Better product / no tailing - Environment - Safety for operator COOL TOUCH - Reduced heat-emissions / product safety -Cost - Guaranteed lifetime of 50 mio cycles - Incorporated filter: - Less machine downtime!

18 Sample 4: Sift Proof Glueing Sift Proof Cardboard Glueing

19 Sample 4: Sift Proof Glueing Existing Process: - Cold glue application - First generation hotmelt adhesive systems - Slow process - Process not controllable: - Unsealed boxes - Waste of adhesive - Look of final product - Heavy cleaning

20 Sample 4: Sift Proof Glueing New Process: - Hotmelt adhesive system - Precise jetting technology - Precise position - Right quantity / no drip back - No stringing - Format-exchange without tools - No standing adhesive

21 Sample 4: Sift Proof Glueing Increased Efficiency: - Reduced adhesive consumption - Proper sealed box / no leakage - Higher quality / no complaints - Higher output - Reduced consumption of packaging material - Less cleaning - Machine availability - Cost for staff - Simple and fast format exchange - No technician required - Machine availability
