With a lot of carton dust in the air at any facility, this dust gets into the glue pot and melts in with the glue, causing it to seize.

Stringing is when the adhesive is applied to the box, but before the flaps are closed on the cartoner, the glue starts to dry and string like cotton candy floating through the air.

Nozzles comes in many shapes and sizes. The diameter of the nozzle tip determines the amount of adhesive that is distributed onto the box flap.

Low profile guns are one of the most commonly used gun on cartoners. The angled design sides allow for the box flaps to flawlessly close while the gun is applying the adhesive on to the boxes.

Universal Systems SE engineers have the ability and expertise to work with clients to create custom manifolds and gun applicators to fit their unique needs.

Universal Systems SE manufactures our ClearFlow™ line of heated hoses. There are two different types of heated hoses that USSE manufactures, high flex and water wash.

Universal Systems SE is dedicated to keeping our current high standard of precision engineering, but with our existing look and ease-of-use technology.

Nozzles come in several types and sizes, and even though you may not realize it, these small parts are engineered in a way to keep your packaging line running smoothly and efficiently.

It is important for any packaging line operator to understand that not all glue is made equal, which means they might not mix well together. Especially when operating at high heat with high demand.

A hot melt adhesive pattern controller regulates the temperature and volume of glue that is dispensed and also the pattern that is delivered.
