Gluing technology company Robatech has brought its innovative melting process, Concept Stream, to Auspack and to the wider Australian market.

 

Robatech (stand 205) is extending its proven Concept line with the newly developed Concept Stream designed to optimise the gluing process, with fast heat up time and increased operator safety .

Concept Stream is Robatech’s tankless solution for melting and delivery of thermoplastic adhesives in granular form.

 

The heart of the Concept Stream is the small, high-performance tank, designed for the highest melting point (8kg/h). With a small volume, the new melter is as powerful as a Robatech Concept 8 while requiring significantly less space.

 

According to Robatech, melting performance and quantity can be exactly matched to the consumption using melt-on-demand technology. Thanks to this controlled adhesive flow, less burns occur in the system, residues in the tank are significantly reduced, and nozzle blockage is prevented to a large extent.

 

The service life of the adhesive filter is also extended and the maintenance costs lowered.

Fast processing

 

The short heat up time of 16 minutes to 160 °C and the standby function ensure fast system availability.

 

Fill level supervision with unique run-empty protection stops the system. This prevents greater losses due to poorly glued products or products not being glued at all.

 

As part of the GreenLine family, the Concept Stream is energy-optimised as well. Thanks to CoolTouch insulation on tank, pump, and adhesive distributor, energy savings of more than 20 % compared to the Standard Concept can be achieved.

 

Operator safety

 

The basic version of the melter is filled manually. The filling area is separated from the hot area using the CoolTouch adapter. This ensures safe manual filling.

 

To increase operator safety even more,the melter can be optimally configured or retrofitted for automatic filling with the Robafeed Granulate feeder.
