ETI completes 20th UV-cured adhesive coating equipment installation

ETI Converting has completed its 20th project incorporating UV-cured adhesive equipment delivered to an American client specializing in custom-engineered labeling solutions for highly regulated applications.

Previously reliant on external labelstock purchases, the client shifted to in-house labelstock production by embracing the Acuro platform. This decision was driven by an analysis of multiple factors and is set to unlock substantial profits attributed to the client’s move toward vertical integration.

Before finalizing the machine design and raw materials selection, sample materials were produced in ETI’s Technology Center.

The production line includes in-line silicone release coating and curing and an innovative two-position adhesive coating station that can directly coat or transfer coat UV-cured adhesives.

Uniquely engineered by ETI, this Acuro enables our client to produce linerless label roll stock in addition to pressure-sensitive laminates on both paper and film.

Richard Hoffmann, sales manager for ETI Converting, commented: ‘I’m thrilled to be a part of this project because additional revenue opportunities are already lining up for our customer as a result of their decision to become more independent.’
