At Pack Expo Las Vegas 2009, Nordson Corporation (Nasdaq: NDSN) is showcasing its wide array of solutions, support and services that are providing packagers with stability, reliability, value and quality in a changing economic environment. Featured at booth C457, the “Nordson Experience” focuses on the many ways in which Nordson is helping customers meet their critical goals of sustainability and lower total cost of ownership by reducing waste, minimizing adhesive use, increasing productivity and standardizing inventory.
“As packagers increasingly get away from the old ‘disposable product’ way of thinking, the technologies we are displaying at Pack Expo can help them significantly reduce their hard and soft costs while increasing their overall efficiency,” said Jeff Pembroke, vice president, sales and marketing, North America, Nordson Corporation. “In these challenging economic times, packaging equipment suppliers have a critical role to play as a trusted partner in helping manage costs, both by offering solutions that support sustainability initiatives and by backing them with dedicated, dependable support and service.”
Among the solutions and strategies on display at the Nordson booth will be a new ProBlue® Fulfill™ retrofit kit, which will allow owners of all ProBlue melter sizes and voltages to add on an automatic adhesive filling system. The booth will also feature an adhesive stitching demonstration, with a ProBlue Fulfill 10 melter supplying two identical SureBead® A guns with low temperature adhesive - one dispensing a continuous, intermittent bead, and the other employing a pattern control to stitchthe adhesive for a volume reduction of up to 50 percent, with bonding equal to that of a continuous bead. The difference in adhesive weight will then be translated by an adhesive stitching calculator into dollars, underscoring the value of introducing stitching into packaging applications.
Additional Nordson products and solutions on display in Las Vegas include:
- The ProBlue Fulfill 10 adhesive integrated melter and automatic filling system.
- Magazine-fed and roll-fed labeling solutions that deliver superior process control with adhesive savings of up to 90 percent.
- Family of Saturn® products with patented rings and color-coding for easy, trouble-free installation and replacement. Products include precision nozzles, in-line and basket-style filters, gun solenoids and more.
Nordson also announced today that its Dawsonville, Georgia, facility has been selected as one of IndustryWeek’s North American Best Plants for 2009. The Dawsonville location was previously selected as a Best Plants finalist in 2008, when Nordson’s Swainsboro, Georgia, facility - which had been also been named as a finalist in 2007 - was honored as a winner and one of the ten best plants.
