Keeping your hot melt equipment up and running trouble free is fine.

Imagine a multimillion dollar packaging line down because of hot melt application problems. 

A few months ago, I was contacted by a company that was not only burning through hot melt equipment parts, but their recently purchased equipment was already in bad shape and causing extensive down time.  We found a plant maintenance team that needed help.

The HAR recommendation

After speaking with their team and learning about their application, we recommended: 

1. A purge and cleaning of their entire hot melt line
2. Changes to their bead placement and bead sizes
3. Upgrading to an adhesive optimized to perform in their environment
4. Our Hot Melt PM service.

The HAR result

We knew our recommendations would greatly benefit this company and we were excited to work with them and walk them through the process of switching their adhesives.  The result was:

1. Continuous up time without problems
2. Equipment and parts in better condition over time
3. Decreased the amount of adhesive used per unit

And today, we are happy to report that they are using over 10% less adhesive per part and spending less time and money fixing and replacing their equipment.
