Robatech launches another new-generation adhesive Melter.
The powerful all-rounder melts up to 12.5 kg/h of thermoplastic adhesives despite its relatively small tank. Smart to operate and featuring numerous interfaces to simplify system integration, control and monitoring of adhesive application, Alpha ensures customers are well-prepared for the future.
“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.
Robatech optimizes the industrial application process for hot melt and cold glue providing sustainable and innovative adhesive application systems. Since 1975 Robatech has designed and produced high-quality controls, application heads, melting and dosing systems that bring more sustainability, security, and simplicity to gluing processes. The Robatech Group, headquartered in Muri, Switzerland, is represented in more than 80 countries.
Over 670 dedicated employees and partners worldwide provide personal customer advice and fast service in a wide range of industries. Alpha is smart and easy to use. That goes for the setting of basic functions on the Smart Terminal as well as for operation and diagnostics via Ethernet or the device’s own wireless access point. And because Alpha is equipped with the state-of-the-art RCS control platform, system integration can be performed quickly and easily.
With Alpha, you are ready for the technical challenges ahead and at the same time energy-efficient in operation. Thanks to the Robatech Control System (RCS) and backward compatibility with heated hoses and application heads built as far back as 2000, you can approach your modernization with confidence.
