The Canadian company, ETI Converting Equipment, installs a new Cohesio with pattern coating in France.

This machine is capable of applying hotmelt glue according to a predefined pattern with a gap of 1 to 2 mm around the edge of the label. This high speed unit can apply 10 to 65 gsm of adhesive at 500 ft/min. (150 m/min).
Moreover, as the waste matrix has no adhesive, it can be recycled like any film or paper.
Each label shape is adhesive coated by zone with a laser engraved sleeve cylinder, on the same principle as a flexo "sleeve" cylinder. All label formats are covered by the various repeats.
This pattern coating Cohesio is the first in France. It opens new possibilities especially for high grammage adhesive like tire labels or any other applications requiring a strong tack without risk of creep.
Being able to target the zones to be adhesive coated and quickly and easily adjust the adhesive thickness (gsm) ensures label manufacturers that the use of this unit is useful and cost-effective. It brings a solution to the pattern coating adhesive and allows an easy adjustment of the grammage from 10 to 65 gsm.
