Nordson Releases New Compact Coat Weight System for Flexible Packaging
Nordson, one of the world’s leading producers of precision dispensing equipment, has developed the CW 9000, a new compact coat weight system for adhesive measurement of flexible packaging manufactured on coating and laminating lines.
"The new CW 9000 makes possible what flexible packaging manufacturers have been asking for – accurate and fast adhesive coat weight and mix ratio measurements," said Mark Rainville, Product Manager for Nordson’s film extrusion and converting businesses. "Nordson worked with several OEM line manufacturers and flexible packaging customers to make sure that this new system would be a game changer. At a glance – operators and other personnel can immediately see key quality indicators. Coat weight and mix ratio profiles are available after a single scan - providing the operator with immediate information needed to confirm quality and make any necessary process adjustments. A trend display shows if the coating goes outside of tolerance to enable corrective actions before a problem appears. The results are shortened startup time, reduced scrap, and minimized adhesive usage.”
