Packaging system for hot-melt glue granules

Case history
Packaging system for hot-melt glue granules 1

Packaging of hot melt adhesives and chemicals is one of the areas in which we have the most experience.

Over the years, in fact, we have carried out several projects for the realization of complete or supplementary systems to pre-existing installations.

In the following case history we will look at:

  • Hot melt adhesives market
  • Specificity of the project
  • Machinery involved
  • Why choose MF TECNO

 

Hot melt adhesives market

According to Future Market Insight, the hot melt adhesives market will experience major growth in the coming years. Equal to 5.3 percent CAGR reaching $9.8 billion by the end of 2027.

The industries most involved are packaging, automotive, woodworking and paper gluing.

 

Specificity of the project

The realization of this system is the result of collaboration with one of the most important manufacturers in the industry in northern Italy.

The project involves the combination of Mial and MF Tecno technology. In fact, the product goes from an initial stage of transportation and mixing to the next stage of packaging and palletizing.

The presence of three 3000-liter vertical mixers aim to ensure the continuity of production.

The integration and coordination of the two entities aims to prepare complete packaging systems and highly customizable turnkey projects.

The project consists of packaging granule hotmelt glues in sizes of 44-55 lb. A medium to low productivity solution of 200-300 bags/hour in pillow bags with side gussets.

 

Machinery involved

The wide range of machinery available allowed us to meet the customer's specific needs. The choice fell on:

  • Packaging Machine MF 58
  • Smart Palletizer
  • Semi-automatic pallet wrapping machine

 

Packaging Machine MF 58

This vertical packaging machine is specifically designed for products with good smoothness and grain size.

The most suitable products are: potting soils, seeds, animal feeds and plastic granule.

Ideal for medium to large production. 44-55 lb bags.

Starting from a flat film reel, the bag is formed around the tube and heat-sealed vertically and horizontally.

Vertical packaging machines can produce pillow bags or gusseted bags, through special devices.

The bags that come out in this case are pillow bags with side gussets and three seals, two horizontal and one vertical. If necessary, our VFFS can also make bags with four welds.

It is equipped with an inspection platform for the weigher. The weigher of choice is the gravity-fed electronic net-weight scale. Especially suitable with products with excellent smoothness.

Our vertical packaging machines are operated by PLC touch screen panel.

Palletizing Robot for granular products

Aligning with the customer's needs, the choice fell on the PCA Smart Cartesian palletizer. One of our top-of-the-line solutions.

It is equipped with roller conveyors, chain conveyors and automatic pallet magazine for automatic feeding of empty pallets and automatic evacuation of full pallets.

Designed for medium production rates up to 500 cycles/hour, it is capable of processing loads up to 110 lb.

Its compactness and small size make it an ideal solution when there is a necessity to work in confined spaces. It has small dimensions and a limited footprint. Just under 9,8 ft and a pallet height of 86,6 in (including pallet).

The operator has complete control of the palletizing scheme thanks to the integrated PLC system equipped with a touch screen.

Its modular design allows multiple numerous mounting combinations and high adaptability to different working environments and pre-existing systems.

It is also prepared for the use of different gripping solutions, which can be customized as needed.

The entire machinery is enclosed within safety guards.

Semi-automatic pallet wrapping machine

Upon completion of the palletizing process, the wrapping machine automatically starts the wrapping process. In fact, the winding and palletizing cycle are synchronized with each other.

The MF SPW 20 semi-automatic rotating platform wrapping machine is a flexible and user-friendly solution. It can be made entirely of stainless steel and is equipped with PLC control.

The speed of platform rotation is 10 rpm.
