Valco Melton is pleased to announce its participation at PACK EXPO International. Visit us at Booth N5224, where we will showcase the latest adhesive dispensing and quality assurance technologies designed to increase productivity, reduce operating costs, and improve quality across a wide range of packaging applications.
At PACK EXPO International, attendees will see the Kube Zero, Valco Melton's melt-on-demand adhesive delivery system designed to maximize productivity, sustainability, and operator safety. Kube Zero combines the benefits of melt-on-demand technology, such as automatic adhesive feeding for safer operation and reduced adhesive degradation, with an innovative monoblock design that reduces start-up times to as little as 20 minutes and achieves impressive melting rates of up to 13 Kg/h under certain operating conditions.
Don't miss the soon-to-be-released additions to the EcoStitch all-electric product line: EcoStitch Zero and EcoStitch Lite. EcoStitch Zero combines the benefits of melt-on-demand and gear pump melters to protect adhesive integrity, reduce maintenance, and lower energy consumption. EcoStitch Lite brings the proven advantages of all-electric adhesive dispensing to even more packaging applications. Built on the same technology that has made EcoStitch the standard in electric gluing, EcoStitch Lite delivers reliable electric adhesive dispensing in a cost-effective solution for less demanding production environments. With direct 24VDC integration, it eliminates compressed air, reduces maintenance, and provides dependable, low-maintenance operation for manufacturers seeking the benefits of electric gluing at a lower investment. Paired with the vmGenesis all-electric adhesive dispensing platform for disposable hygiene product manufacturing, these solutions expand the benefits of electric hot melt gluing technology to a variety of industries and applications, providing manufacturers with greater flexibility, precision, and a lower total cost of ownership.
Additional solutions on display include the AutoWheel side seam gluing system for folding carton production. As a complete replacement for traditional glue wheels, AutoWheel eliminates glue wheel cleaning downtime, prevents glue slinging at any production speed, removes the need for manual glue refills, and reduces adhesive waste. The result is cleaner, more consistent adhesive application, lower operating costs, increased uptime, and higher production efficiency.
The booth will also feature Valco Melton's ClearVision quality assurance platform, providing real-time inspection for adhesive application, print quality, and package integrity. Featured inspection solutions include:
Together, these solutions automatically detect defects, capture production data, and reject non-conforming products, helping manufacturers maintain consistent quality while improving overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
With innovative solutions for adhesive dispensing, melt-on-demand technology, electric gluing, carton sealing, and intelligent vision inspection, Valco Melton continues to help manufacturers increase productivity, reduce waste, improve sustainability, and deliver consistently high-quality packaging.
