FAQs about our adhesive application systems

Adhesive application systems are machines and systems such as drum melters, adhesive melters and application heads for the industrial processing of reactive and non-reactive adhesives. An adhesive application system is used to apply adhesives to substrates in order to permanently bond materials.

The choice of adhesive application system depends on these factors

  • Container form (drums 20 l/200 l, slugs 200 g/2 kg, bags, granules, pillows, blocks)
  • Melting capacity in kg/h
  • Dosing accuracy
  • Application method (contact or contactless, surface application e.g. roll material or individual component bonding by means of spray or bead applicators)
  • Application speeds m/min
  • Application lengths mm
  • Number and length of interruptions in the case of intermittent applications

To ensure that the adhesive application technology meets the requirements for bonding materials to optimum effect, the machinery and systems should be tested using the intended adhesives. SM Klebetechnik offers its customers the opportunity to test their own materials in practice at the R&D technical centre with a floor area of 500 square metres. The experts use infrared cameras, sensors and special measuring cells to determine the optimum adhesive application. If a suitable adhesive has not yet been identified, we help you to find an appropriate solution. Thanks to project studies, drafts, simulations, designs and a special calculation tool, SM Klebetechnik leaves nothing to chance.

If you want to benefit from reliable, efficient and low consumption in industrial adhesive processing, SM Klebetechnik’s adhesive application technology is the ideal choice for you:

  • Efficient thanks to good start-stop response and pressure-regulated systems (pressure sensor instead of bypass)
  • Low adhesive consumption thanks to dosing meter function (FlexControl series)
  • Flow-optimized melting grids and tank geometries -> low residues
  • Low emissions/climate-friendly thanks to melt-on-demand system, no inert gas required
  • Use of effective air dryers

The service life of adhesive application devices can be increased by using large device filters, pressure sensors (instead of bypasses), special heads and high-quality, durable hardware components such as motors, pumps and controls.

Regular maintenance and cleaning of the drum melters, adhesive melters and application heads, the correct setting of the application parameters and the use of high-quality adhesives also increase the service life of machines and systems. Parts that are subject to wear and tear should also be replaced as required. To ensure local maintenance, SM Klebetechnik offers its customers attractive maintenance contracts.

One recent development by SM Klebetechnik entails the use of slim melting plates in various ribbed and sealing shapes for efficient emptying of adhesives stored in steel and paper drums. These melting plates provide more space in the drum for the adhesive and simultaneously reduce the amount of residue remaining in the drum. This is a real innovation that can cut industrial adhesive processing costs by up to 25%.

SM Klebetechnik has also developed the intelligent FlexControl microprocessor control system for adhesive application systems. With its colour display, intuitive touch panel and dosing meter function for fully automatic speed control of the pump according to quantity and pressure control, it enables precise application. Via FlexControl, updates can be conveniently installed via the USB interface. Remote control via PC or mobile devices is also possible.

At SM Klebetechnik, we are committed to ongoing innovation and maximum precision in nozzle application technology. Thanks to intensive engineering work, we have expanded our portfolio and are now able to offer you roller bar nozzles.

This new technology permits even more precise, uniform and efficient adhesive application – perfect for demanding applications in a wide range of industries. Benefit from our many years of experience and optimize your production processes with our high-quality application solutions.

At SM Klebetechnik, customer service starts with comprehensive advice: the adhesive technology and hotmelt application experts take time to find the optimum application systems together with the customer.

The systems are installed by experienced technicians on the customer’s premises. In the event of an emergency, the service team ensures that the systems are swiftly able to return to reliable operations with short response times thanks to a repair service available on the customer’s premises or at the factory in Heinsberg. Foreign customers benefit from remote maintenance. SM Klebetechnik also offers customers rental equipment for bridging temporary gaps as well as rinsing and cleaning stations for pumps, hoses and heads.

SM Klebetechnik’s adhesive application technology enables reliable dot, bead, spray and surface application in the industrial processing of adhesives. Its drum emptying systems ensure uninterrupted production, material conveying, feeding and filling in single, tandem, three-fold and four-fold operations with pump stations, measuring cell technology and, as optional extras, with buffer and dosing tank systems or precision gear pumps. Depending on the material and required output rate, eccentric worm-drive pumps and screw pumps are also available in addition to gear pumps. SM Klebetechnik’s melters come in various designs and are ready for use for processing almost all hotmelts – e.g. for thermoplastic materials such as EVA, PSA, PO, PA and APAO in the form of granulate, pillow, block format, UV hotmelt, butyl, rubber, bitumen, lubricating grease, anti-corrosion grease, wax, resin and additives.
