ETI Converting launches hotmelt adhesive unit
ETI Converting Equipment has launched a hotmelt clean edge pattern adhesive unit which can be retrofitted to any existing Cohesio machine.
The system follows the company’s acrylic adhesive pattern unit developed two years ago.
The simple process allows variable repeat from 16” to 24” with automatic register and accurate pre-register to minimize waste. A further characteristic of the unit is to allow full web coating at 400 fpm with accurate coat weight control.
‘Until now, the pattern hotmelt process was unusable at high speed; all edges were not clean due to the nature of the hotmelt,’ said Maxime Bayzelon, vice-president of ETI Converting.
‘With this new unit, the quality of printing edges without filamentous burr and the speed of the unit provide the label makers with new opportunities: adhesive spots, coupons and special adhesive forms, including laser sheets.
‘It is up to their imagination, a great marketing tool.’
ETI reports that it has already sold a number of units in Japan, Germany and France.
