Overall results of “ROSUPACK 2008” exhibition.
“ROSUPACK 2008” exhibition is one of the biggest specialized exhibitions in Russia. This year it was held on June 23-27 in the exhibition centre “KROKUS-EXPO”.
The “MELTPACK” company presented the novelties in manual and automatic equipment for hot-melt and cold-applied adhesive application. “Henkel-National” company also introduced a new project “Easy Pac”. “MELTPACK” happens to be its distributor on the Russian territory. The specialists and visitors of the exhibition were greatly interested in the project. Some preliminary arrangements have been reached, which, we hope, will help in the future to estimate the advantages of equipment at their true worth on packing lines of Easy Pac applicators.
The equipment of american Valco Cincinnati Company was also presented on the desk of “MELTPACK” company. The modern glue technologies from Valco allow to make the processes of glueing the finished products completely automatic.
It’s “MELTPACK” company director’s-general opinion that this year there were fewer visitors comparing to the previous year exhibition. However, there were mostly specialists. The “ROSUPACK” exhibition still remains one of the main forums for packing and packing equipment producers.
It’s possitive to consider the fact that most people recognize the technologies of hot-melt glueing and come not only to learn about them, but to choose a concrete glue solution. The specialists of “MELTPACK” company, working at exhibition, tried to provide every interested specialist with information about glueing technology for induvidual tasks and high quality products corresponding.

Prior to the 1970’s most manufacturer’s joints in corrugated box were either stapled or glued with a “pot and wheel” system. Since the advent of resin-based adhesives and closed, extrusion application systems, the possibility of running higher speeds with more accurate glue pattern placement became a reality. During the last 30 years, most of the systems installed were based on low-pressure adhesive system and a simple head that contacted that board, usually at an angle. The advent of faster direct-electric valves and further advances in adhesive technology have made jetting the glue from a distance away from the board a valid method for applying adhesives. Non-contact manufacturer’s joint glue application can offer advantages for corrugated converters, but also come with some downsides.
