“Our goal was to develop a new-generation adhesive melter that combines new features with those tried-and-tested,” explains Marcel Wey, Mechanical Engineer at Robatech. “With our modern RCS control platform, Alpha is keeping pace with the digital transformation. This is an important step to ensuring that our customers remain competitive in industrial adhesive applications.”
Alpha offers system availability of more than 99% and energy savings of 46% compared to the Concept melter. “The high energy efficiency and use of robust components have a positive effect on operating costs,” says André Laubacher, Product Manager Small Units at Robatech.
Thanks to its relatively small dimensions and the 45-degree connection area for heated hoses, Alpha permits space-saving installation in machines. The adhesive melter is versatile, particularly when it comes to applications in the packaging, converting and graphics industries. Compatibility with heated hoses and application heads built as far back as 2000 makes it easy to modernize existing systems. The optional filling system increases safety in production and relieves operating personnel.
