New adhesive dispensing system keeps chocolate manufacturer up to speed
As the demand for small, foil-wrapped chocolate bars increased, Chocolat Alprose sought the assistance of Nordson Switzerland in developing a packaging solution that would allow them to maintain their production speed of 300 products per minute without sacrificing product quality. If the foil wrapping around the chocolate bar receives too little adhesive, the flap can flip open during or after packaging, leading to a product reject. If an excess of hot melt adhesive is applied to the flap, the chocolate can melt or discolor inside its wrapper.
