TOP TIP #13

HAVE AN ADHESIVE MAINTENANCE PLAN TO REDUCE DOWNTIME

Have you experienced blocked nozzles, stringing or charring that lead to downtime on your production line?

These are common problems for hot melt users, and while they can be completely eliminated with newer technology like generation 6 and 7 adhesives, the importance of having a maintenance plan in place can mean thousands saved from downtime spends.

In your plan you should include things like cleaning procedures and schedules, checks of your system and providers of spare parts if they are required. If you want a chat about your adhesives, just click the button below.
