AutoWheel is a complete drop-in replacement for traditional glue wheels used in folding carton production. The solution addresses the main problems communicated by glue wheel users, eliminating daily cleaning downtime, glue waste, speed limitations, and operator dependency, while delivering immediate productivity gains with no learning curve.
AutoWheel Benefits:
Modular Architecture
The AutoWheel solution combines Valco Melton’s industry-proven bottom-up gluing technology with a modular architecture that can be adapted to each manufacturer’s specific requirements. This approach minimizes changes on the production line, allowing for the retrofit of an existing folder-gluer within a few hours.
Standard components include the industry-proven bottom-up glue station, an adhesive pattern controller, an encoder, and a pump. Optional components such as OneView operator interface or a System Stand may be added as needed.
Measurable ROI
With AutoWheel, Valco Melton offers folding carton manufacturers a direct path to
higher OEE. The resulting savings from increased uptime, improved quality, and reduced waste enable a fast and easy calculation of the return on investment.
