Hot Melt News

Hey Pierce,
Just finished two jobs with the Shot Pot with Timer for a total of approximately 50,000 trays. That’s 200,000 glue dots (dime sized dots) and we still have glue left over from the 25 lb box we purchased with the system. We have become so good at this gluing process that we are doing 70 trays or 280 dots in 4 minutes (sustainable for 50- 60 minutes)! Our fastest time was 70 trays or 280 dots in 3 minutes 35 seconds! That is 280 dots in 225 seconds!

The machine works great! We are way faster and less fatigued at the end of a job, using the Shot Pot with Timer.

Thanks Pierce and thanks Glue Machinery Corporation.

CD/DVD/DigiPak Sleeve Gluing and Tray Attachment can be easily accomplished using a benchtop hot melt system with timer, such as Glue Machinery Corporations Shot Pot with Timer, to apply aggressive clear pressure sensitive hot melt. Typically this type of system is used in smaller assembly applications and is often used as a back up to larger automatic systems.

Simply position the CD/DVD sleeve or DigiPack under the nozzle of the benchtop hot melt system , actuate the foot pedal to  apply a thin and consistent bead of hot melt pressure sensitive to the substrate, then fold and compress. The bond will occur immediately, minimizing the amount of time needed for compression.

The attachment of the CD/DVD or DigiPak to the plastic tray can also be accomplished with the benchtop unit with timer and a custom nozzle. This system achieves this by cycling precise dots of clear pressure sensitive hot melt to the tray for attachment to sleeve or DigiPak.

Clear pressure sensitive hot melt with high temperature resistance works well for bonding paper substrates to themselves as well as the plastic tray to the sleeve or DigiPak.
