NORDSON WINS PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT AWARD FOR LABELING SYSTEM

Nordson Corp. has announced that it recently earned a 2007 Oscar de l’Emballage Production Equipment Award for PatternJet, an innovative labeling system used in the global packaging industry.

Nordson wraparound labeling systems with PatternJet guns are designed for high-speed labeling of containers in various shapes and sizes. The closed, non-circulating labeling system accurately controls temperature and prevents adhesive degradation and contamination. Gear-to-line pump technology consistently applies adhesive at any line speed to reduce adhesive waste and eliminate angel hair. Compared to traditional wheel pot applicators, the Nordson labeling system delivers higher operational efficiency, significant adhesive savings, and lower total cost of ownership.

The 52nd Oscar de l’Emballage Awards event took place in November at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Paris, France. More than 250 industry members attended the ceremony where the 14 winners were announced. The judging panel considered 100 nominations based on technical innovation, design and trade performance in four packaging categories: consumables, distribution, production, and environment.

“We are pleased to accept such a prestigious award for the PatternJet labeling system,” said Jean-Claude Cheminand-Serre, general manager for Nordson France. “The PatternJet labeling system has seen great success in the food and beverage industries due to its unmatched ability to reduce operational costs and increase efficiency in labeling applications.”
