Background

An enterprise had a Fuji laminator in service for over 20 years. As the equipment aged, the customer originally planned a full-line replacement. Yet the mechanical body remained sound. After introducing Gluexpert's PUR single-component hot-melt adhesive machine, the old machine was revived — successfully running paper-plastic and paper-aluminum lamination, putting the legacy equipment back to creating value.

Core Requirements

• Revive the old machine: avoid costly replacement and fully utilize the existing equipment;
• Eco-compliance: solvent-free and odorless, meeting environmental and workshop requirements;
• Significant adhesive saving: greatly reduce adhesive cost compared with dry lamination.

Solution

Our engineers surveyed the site in person and delivered a custom non-standard installation. The Gluexpert PUR single-component machine fits the old Fuji perfectly and runs stably in-line, covering paper-plastic and paper-aluminum lamination, and it can be connected to all laminator brands.

Solution Highlights

• Custom non-standard: on-site measurement and tailored installation;
• Solvent-free and odorless: eco-compliant;
• Strong compatibility: works with all laminator brands;
• Stable running: the old machine produces steadily without major parts replacement.

Results

• Adhesive cost 30%-50% lower than dry lamination, tens of thousands of yuan saved per month;
• Solvent-free and odorless, eco-compliant;
• Old Fuji laminator revived, no major parts replacement needed.
