Discover how in-line pressure sensitive adhesive application for tubes and cores improves roll start performance, reduces labor, and increases converting efficiency.

In manufacturing, complexity is often the norm. Multiple product lines. Multiple processes. Multiple vendors. But here’s an important question: Does your company have too many suppliers for related production needs?

At HAR Adhesive Technologies, we’re proud to partner with industry leaders like ITW Dynatec, whose innovative hot melt adhesive equipment continues to transform production lines across the country. A recent visit to Blackstone Brewery in Nashville, Tennessee, gave us a chance to see one of their best-selling systems in action—the Dynamini™ hot melt adhesive supply unit—and the results were as smooth as their signature craft brews.

When it comes to sealing cartons, cases, and boxes, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Today’s packaging world is as diverse as the products it protects, with thousands of variations in board types, coatings, structures, and environmental demands. From corrugated fiberboard to laminated paperboard, chipboard to custom die-cut trays—each material and shape brings its own challenges when it comes to forming and sealing.

When it comes to applying adhesive in a production environment, one of the most important decisions you’ll face is whether to stick with manual methods or invest in an automated or semi-automated system.

Today’s hot melt adhesives are smarter, stronger, and more versatile than ever before. With continuous innovation in chemistry, application methods, and equipment technology, hot melt adhesives have expanded their role in everything from packaging and product assembly to construction and non-wovens.

In adhesive applications, "stitching"—the process of applying adhesive in intermittent dots or short bursts instead of a continuous bead—is a proven way to cut down on adhesive usage and reduce costs. It's a valuable strategy in many industries, especially when product strength and performance aren’t compromised.

In today’s competitive building materials market, adhesives are more than just an accessory—they’re critical components in producing durable, energy-efficient, and aesthetically pleasing doors and windows. At HAR Adhesive Technologies, we understand the complexity of modern manufacturing processes and provide a full spectrum of adhesive products designed to deliver strength, flexibility, and reliability across a wide range of substrates.

Reliable and high-quality adhesive dispensing equipment is a critical component of production across many industries. Some applications require highly specialized dispensing systems, while others simply need dependable equipment without unnecessary features. The ITW Dynatec® Simplicity™ Adhesive Delivery System is a competitively priced solution designed to meet those needs—particularly in packaging and product assembly environments.

Manufacturers are always looking for ways to increase efficiency, reduce labor costs, and maintain product consistency. One powerful solution? An automatic bulk adhesive feed system—like the ADS1 Dynafill from ITW Dynatec.

When you need a hot melt adhesive system that combines performance, reliability, and value—all in a compact design—the Dynamini™ by ITW Dynatec delivers. This easy-to-operate, space-saving adhesive application unit features a patented melt-on-demand hopper backed by a standard 7-year warranty. The design virtually eliminates adhesive degradation and charring, ensuring consistent output and significantly reduced maintenance.

For over 45 years, ITW Dynatec® has been a global leader in hot melt adhesive systems and glue application solutions.
