The Swiss manufacturer of adhesive application solutions presented modular solutions for the rapid application of silicone release liners and tear strips, as well as reliable gluing of on-demand packaging, at the E-Commerce Solutions Showcase from March 15-17, 2022.
Robatech is taking a new approach to the application of pressure sensitive adhesive closures and tear strips by applying PSA adhesive directly to shipping packaging. First, the new Vivo 18 coating head applies the adhesive to the cardboard package with millimeter precision and uniformity. Then, the applicator of a partner company applies the tear strip or silicone paper strip. Unlike with double-sided tape or pre-glued tear strips, speeds of 200–250 m/min are possible with this process. Moreover, packaging manufacturers can reduce their adhesive consumption by up to 30% with the integrated quantity control. In the case of mailer bags made of film, the adhesive is applied to the silicone paper strip. The system is easy to operate from the host machine, the applicator or at the melter of the adhesive application system.
