Krefeld \u2013 At interpack 2026 (7\u201313 May in D\u00fcsseldorf, Germany), Baumer hhs will be exhibiting in Hall 18 (stand E07) under the theme: We build Systems. Others just components. \u201cWe take a holistic approach to solution development and have done so ever since our company was founded 40 years ago. All the components in our complete systems are optimised for their applications and designed to work together perfectly. Our customers can launch them in production in no time and start benefiting from their resource and energy efficiency as well as their reliability in the overall process\u201d, explains Martin Kotecki, Packaging Business Development Manager at Baumer hhs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In D\u00fcsseldorf, the company will have various exhibits on display to demonstrate the advantages of its complete systems. They also exemplify Baumer hhs\u2019s broad range of products, which fulfil a number of very diverse purposes in packaging: from hot melt applications in packaging production and end-of-line processing to securing pallet loads. All of these solutions fit seamlessly into Baumer hhs\u2019s sustainability strategy \u2013 Rethink. Renew. Recycle. \u2013 which is the foundation of all its innovations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
New standard in hot melt application
One of this year\u2019s highlights at Baumer hhs\u2019s stand at interpack is a next-generation Xmelt complete system for hot melt applications. Its high energy efficiency, productivity, device reliability, production reliability, and sustainability achieve an unprecedented symbiosis. The innovative system consists of an Xmelt fusion melter, DF hot melt hoses with metal core, and high-end PXH 1000 electric hot melt application heads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a low energy input of just 1.6 kW, the Xmelt fusion achieves a 30% higher melt rate, shortening preheating time to less than 20 minutes. \u201cThe Xmelt fusion is ready for operation in about half the time as standard tank systems. With this increased availability, our customers can start producing while other melters would still be heating up. Depending on the throughput of their production lines, that translates into some 1,600 packaging products\u201d, says Kotecki, describing the productivity advantages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Xmelt fusion boasts several intelligent functions, such as an integrated adhesives database, from which the melter can automatically access basic settings. Also new is the Auto Eco mode. In this mode, the system automatically lowers temperatures during extended interruptions in production, saving an average of 6%. Additional features include automatic detection of connected hot melt hoses and application heads, as well as automated tracking of total operating hours, data the melter uses to proactively recommend maintenance tasks. All of these features support maximum ease-of-operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The DF (degradation-free) hot melt hoses with metal core further enhance the high energy efficiency and sustainability of the Xmelt complete solution on exhibit at interpack. They lower energy consumption by some 20% while protecting the adhesives from charring and the filters and nozzles from clogging. The quality of melted adhesives remains at the same high level at all times. What is more, compared to conventional hot melt hoses, the service life of DF hoses with metal core is about three times longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The high-end PXH 1000 electric hot melt application head boasts the closing force of a pneumatic dispenser, meaning it guarantees precision cut-off and therefore optimal application of adhesives \u2013 even those of high viscosity. Further attributes of the PXH 1000 include durability, longevity (over 1 billion cycles), process stability, savings on adhesive in dot application mode, and minimal maintenance requirements. With all of these advantages, the Xmelt complete system from Baumer hhs is setting new standards in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
New applications and live demos
\u201cWith its pioneering innovations, Baumer hhs has developed many new gluing applications over the decades. Another highlight is our proven Xdot system for digital braille application. We will be demonstrating a new application in this segment\u201d, promises Marcell van Meegen, Business Development Manager at Baumer hhs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Further live demos of methods for applying adhesives and reducing their consumption in packaging processes can also be seen at the company\u2019s stand. One highlight here is the Palletising Solution, which uses hot melt adhesives to secure pallet loads. This easy-to-integrate system can reduce the consumption of plastic film in palletising by up to 80% while maintaining the same high level of reliability \u2013 and significantly improving sustainability in logistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur company headquarters in Krefeld are located very close to the trade fair centre in D\u00fcsseldorf. We invite attendees from all over the world to combine their trip to interpack with a visit to our hhs solution-center, where we have other interesting applications for gluing and quality assurance on display\u201d, says van Meegen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
