The igluetech WheelMelt is a compact and easy-to-use hot melt glue wheel-in-pot applicator, designed for gluing and sealing carton flaps quickly and efficiently.
Ideal for small production runs, low-speed applications, pilot launches, carton resealing and those jobs where setting up a conventional folder gluer simply isn't practical, the WheelMelt provides a simple offline solution for applying hot melt adhesive to cartons.
The WheelMelt is particularly useful for “get you out of trouble” applications, allowing cartons to be glued and sealed without tying up valuable production machinery.
Operation is quick and straightforward.
The carton flap is manually passed across the top of the heated glue wheel, applying a controlled line of hot melt adhesive. The flap is then folded and pressed closed by hand, with the entire process combining into one smooth and efficient movement.
An adjustable front guide accommodates different carton flap sizes, while the adjustable top plough provides downward pressure to keep the carton flap in contact with the glue wheel during application.
The result is a simple, repeatable and effective method of applying hot melt adhesive to carton flaps.
The WheelMelt can be configured to suit a wide range of applications.
Multiple glue wheel configurations are available for applying more than one glue line, while solid glue wheels up to 100mm wide can also be supplied for wider adhesive coverage.
Different wheel widths can therefore be selected to suit the carton design and required glue application.
The WheelMelt is a versatile solution for:
With its compact footprint and approximately 22kg weight, the WheelMelt can be easily moved between production areas and stored when not required.
Its simple design requires minimal setup, making it an ideal solution for manufacturers looking for a cost-effective and flexible alternative to running small batches through a full-size carton folder gluer.
The WheelMelt is already used across a wide range of industries around the world where flexibility, simplicity and reliable hot melt application are essential.
If you're producing a few hundred or a few thousand cartons and don't want to spend time setting up a folder gluer, the igluetech WheelMelt provides a quick and practical alternative.
Simple to operate. Compact to transport. Flexible enough for a wide range of carton applications.
