ISO-BAR Glue Machine Features Runs with high solids (30%+) at low application rates Reduces moisture into the sheet by up to 40 % Applies adhesive one flute at a time Glue lines are thin, uniform and centered on the flute tip
ISO-BAR Glue Machine Features Uniformity is better than +/- 2% at any speed or application rate Glue weight is infinitely adjustable from the control panel No slinging at any speed
ISO-BAR BENEFITS • Waste created by the glue machine will be reduced by up to 1% or more of total corrugator production. • Can put up to 40% less moisture into the sheet, resulting in higher corrugator speeds on all grades. • Pin numbers and ECT's will be higher. • Save fiber by using lighter weight liners. • Built-In wash system saves cleanup time.
ISO-BAR BENEFITS • Caliper on all grades will increase a minimum of 0.002 ~ 0.004 inches. • Warp can be dramatically reduced. • Print quality and plate life are both improved due to a smoother, washboard free surface. • Die cutting is improved as a result of more consistent caliper.
ISO-BAR Improved Product Quality Converting Improvements: • Fewer Jams • Reduced Scrap • Less Downtime • Better Print Quality • Higher ECT • Higher Pin Adhesion Values
