Sustainable line conversion
Adhesives manufacturer Henkel supported Greenland Seafood by planning and managing the conversion of its packaging lines to the hot melt adhesive Technomelt Supra 100 and the Nordson ProBlue Liberty System.
Production runs around the clock at Greenland Seafood, which produces 1.3 million fish dishes daily for frozen food convenience meals at its factory in Wilhelmshaven, Germany. The sustainable line conversion was accomplished as a running change within two weeks, with no loss of production.
“Nordson’s ProBlue Liberty System is a closed automatic system with a precise and reliable dispensing unit. As a closed system it offers increased safety at work since the line operators cannot come into contact with hot adhesive anymore,” states Lars-Erik Hartmann from Henkel.
The system also saves time and energy during production, as there is no need to manually top up the adhesive or check filling levels.
Regarding the adhesive itself, Henkel’s Technomelt Supra was chosen. The polyolefin adhesives deliver fast bonding with excellent strength, cold flexibility and high heat resistance. Their high thermal stability ensures consistent quality even when kept in the system for longer periods.
