We chose the name ‘Xmelt fusion’ for our new melters because they so perfectly unite efficiency and sustainability. On one hand, they combine maximum ease-of-use with the performance, quality and reliability for which our equipment is known worldwide. On the other, they are designed in strict adherence to our holistic Rethink. Renew. Recycle. sustainability principles. This means that, with this equipment, our customers improve the resource-efficiency of both their products and processes.
The resulting Xmelt fusion platform meets the highest demand in packaging production and end-of-line processing, says Martin Kotecki, Packaging Business Development Manager at Baumer hhs. Xmelt fusion fits seamlessly in the company’s series of recent innovations, developed by its specialists by improving on existing equipment and integrating advanced electronics. For example, the hot melt tank of the new product line has been redesigned.
“Our goal was to achieve a maximum melt rate while minimizing volume and energy consumption, and maximizing reliability in production. With Xmelt fusion, our customers can now reach a melt rate of up to 14 kg hot melt adhesive per hour with an energy input of just 1.6 kW. Thanks to this high-level performance, even our compact “Basic” unit can handle about 90% of all packaging applications”, Kotecki explains.
The Basic unit can further be combined with an Xfeed system that keeps it continuously supplied with hot melt adhesive granules. It melts the conveyed adhesive on an as-needed basis – and enables customers to fully exploit the productivity of their production lines for hot melt applications.
A “Special Volume” model with the same melt rate rounds out the Xmelt fusion series. It can store non-conveyable adhesives in the area of the tank, significantly minimizing the time and effort required for manual filling. In short, the product line of melters from Baumer hhs has been streamlined. And that is an advantage particularly for machine manufacturers who install Xmelt melters in their systems.
