On-Demand Quality Packaging to Meet Customer Needs

Nordson's flexible and precise adhesive application systems support the unique requirements of customized E-Commerce packaging:

Automatic E-Commerce packaging machines customizing each package based on the individual product size that needs to be packed. Nordson application systems can easily be fully integrated in these automated E-commerce packaging machines to support the highly precise and reliable adhesive application required.

The E-commerce business is even during the day highly versatile and this requires a flexible machine output, leading to specific adhesive application system requirements. The application system needs to be ready at any time, so the adhesive must be at application temperature. To minimize the degradation of adhesive under temperature, Nordson melter has a melt-on-demand feature, to prevent adhesive temperature stress, as only a very small amount of adhesive is molten due to the absence of an adhesive tank.

Easy and safe operation is also key in this high demanding E-Commerce market. The fulfill system is especially designed to automatically process the adhesive granulates from a (cold) bin to the Nordson melter and to avoid all necessary operator contact with high temperature parts. Also the Nordson components are designed to be touch safe or can be equipped with optional covers. Our hot melt system is modular and

scalable to match the optimum application needs, but is also flexible to upgrade future production needs.

Sustainability is currently one of the key trends in many markets! Nordson provides energy efficient equipment and has also adhesive verification and flow monitoring equipment to optimize the adhesive production process. This ensures efficient use of

resources and no unnecessary waste and/or too much adhesive is applied to ensure that the box is closed.

The ProBlue Flex is advanced technology that adapts to any operation with ease of use and simplicity. It is easy configurable to match the application requirements.

The available Melt-on-Demand™ feature ensures that the system is ready at any time without jeopardizing the adhesive quality as it minimizes temperature stress on

the adhesive.

It is available with a Electronic Pressure Run-up to automatically adapt the required amount of adhesive based on machine varieties like speed and different adhesive application lengths. Further more the advanced temperature management offered by the SmartMelt™ Technology saves energy, and keeps the melter ready for instant production ramp up. The SmartMelt design and algorithm reduces the grid temperature when production has stopped or interrupted.

The system also features our cutting-edge BBconn™ Controls Platform that will provide you with connectivity, remote accessibility and the data you need to meet your continuous improvement goals.

The MiniBlue II Slim Applicator equipped with patented hydraulic seal technology delivers the longest applicator life time, reliability and lowest-maintenance effort in the E-Commerce market. The SureBead® modules ensure clog-free operation, as it has a selfcleaning needle and seat design.
