Robatech has introduced Volta, an electric application head designed for use with all major hot melt systems. The head can be fitted to non-Robatech melters, hoses and controllers, allowing users to upgrade performance without replacing their existing equipment.
Volta runs without compressed air and operates quietly. It features an integrated stitching function that can reduce adhesive use by up to 60 per cent, according to the company. The head is also rated for 2 billion cycles, which Robatech says increases line efficiency while reducing parts and service costs.
Ken Sky, managing director at Robatech, said, “The increased number of cycles, compared with the 50 million typical for an average application, means customers can apply dots of adhesive rather than long beads. This stitching provides significant adhesive savings without the need to worry about increased part and service costs.”
Sky added that the product is suitable for any user seeking to reduce costs and improve operational efficiency. “These heads can be configured for all standard melters, so you do not need a Robatech melter to get the benefits,” he said.
