“Other goals included enhanced health and safety, energy savings, more reliable sealing of frozen food packs, improved product safety, and a more sustainable packaging process overall.”

Developed for packaging applications, Henkel’s Technomelt Supra hotmelts are polyolefin adhesives that offer fast bonding, cold flexibility and high heat resistance capabilities.

Nordson’s ProBlue Liberty system is equipped with a dispensing unit and protects line operators from hot adhesives.

Both solutions will enable Greenland Seafood to consume 20% less adhesive than before. The solutions will also save energy and reduce operating and maintenance costs.
