Valco Melton is pleased to announce its participation in Printing United in Las Vegas, Nevada. Visit us at Booth N5451, where Valco Melton and its subsidiary, GMS-VanSco, will showcase adhesive application and quality inspection products designed to improve efficiency, product quality, and profitability for folding carton manufacturers.
At booth N5451, Valco Melton will showcase the AutoWheel, a drop-in replacement for traditional glue wheel systems. AutoWheel eliminates the daily cleaning, glue pot maintenance, and glue slinging associated with conventional glue wheels while delivering precise, consistent adhesive application at any production speed. Designed for fast installation and minimal maintenance, AutoWheel helps manufacturers spend less time cleaning and maintaining equipment so they can keep production running.
Valco Melton will also feature CodeChek, part of the company's ClearVision inspection platform. CodeChek automatically verifies printed codes, barcodes, QR codes, and variable data to ensure every carton meets customer and regulatory requirements. By detecting missing, incorrect, or unreadable codes in real time, CodeChek helps prevent shipping errors, reduce costly rejects, and ensure every carton leaves the line with the correct printed information.
Also on display will be Narrow GlueChek, Valco Melton's compact adhesive inspection system engineered specifically for narrow glue applications. Using high-speed vision technology, Narrow GlueChek continuously verifies adhesive presence and placement on every carton, identifying missing or misplaced glue before defective products leave the production line. The system improves bond quality, reduces waste, and catches adhesive issues before defective cartons reach customers, all without slowing production.
Joining Valco Melton in the booth is GMS-VanSco, another Valco Melton company specializing in precision gluing and folding solutions for the printing and mailing industries. GMS-VanSco will showcase its Microglue® systems, designed to deliver accurate adhesive application for a wide range of commercial print, direct mail, pharmaceutical, and specialty packaging applications. Designed for flexibility and precision, Microglue systems help printers and finishers expand their capabilities while maintaining consistent adhesive application.
