Valco Melton is pleased to announce its participation in LOUPE Americas 2026 in Chicago, Illinois. Visit us at Booth 930, where visitors can learn about our advanced coating and laminating products for label stock manufacturing label in-line gluing, and linerless label production.
Valco Melton will highlight its LP Series hot melt coating and laminating lines, part of its complete coating solutions for modern label manufacturing. Designed for roll-to-roll coating and laminating processes across a wide range of converting applications, the LP Series combines exceptional coating accuracy with flexible configuration options and reliable performance to help manufacturers achieve consistent, high-quality results.
Featured products include Akura slot die coating systems for the precise application of hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesives, delivering uniform coat weights and reliable adhesive performance for label production. Visitors can also learn about the Akura Pattern Roll Coater, which combines exceptional coating accuracy, interchangeable sleeve technology for fast job changeovers, and consistent adhesive application without stringing. Together, these Akura products help manufacturers improve process control, reduce adhesive consumption, and produce high-quality labels and specialty coated materials with greater efficiency.
Another key focus will be Valco Melton's silicone coating technology, engineered to produce release liners and linerless label materials. The company's advanced 5-roll silicone coating station delivers ultra-thin, highly uniform silicone coatings using progressive metering technology and independently driven rollers, helping manufacturers achieve precise coat weights while reducing waste and improving production consistency.
Complementing these coating technologies are Coat Inspekt and Weight Inspekt, Valco Melton's advanced quality assurance solutions for coating applications. Coat Inspekt is an AI-powered vision inspection system that continuously monitors coating quality during production, identifying defects such as streaks, skips, voids, contamination, and coating inconsistencies in real time. Weight Inspekt provides inline infrared adhesive coat weight measurement, delivering precise grammage control independently of substrate thickness while eliminating the need for offline sampling. When paired with Akura applicators, Weight Inspekt automatically detects grammage variations and adjusts the adhesive pumps in a closed-loop system to maintain consistent coat weight throughout production. Together, these systems provide immediate feedback, comprehensive production data, and enhanced process control, helping manufacturers reduce waste, improve product quality, and maximize production efficiency.
Visit Valco Melton at Booth 930 during LOUPE Americas 2026 to learn how our coating technologies can improve efficiency, coating precision, and product quality for PSA, UV hot melts, silicone. Our experts look forward to discussing your application and helping you find the right solution for your manufacturing process.
