Low Investment Costs
The Vacuum Press takes advantage
of the physical properties of the
atmosphere for compression. All your Advantages at a Glance
Therefore the press itself does not have
to be very massive and experiences
only little strain, which means very low
investment and operating costs.

9 mm The adhesive curtain of the application header is given by
the length of the pipe, as well as the number and width
??? mm of the output holes. They have a standard dimension, but
can be customized.
The adhesive feed is designed for a uniform distribution
of the quantity of the adhesive over the whole width of
the header.
Adhesive Pump
The quantity of the adhesive depends on the feed of the
gear pump as well as the running speed of the portal
automatic. Both are continuously variable.
The output quantity is normally calibrated manually one a
month and amounts to 120 - 200g.
The more precise the adhesive dosage, the more the
operating costs can be reduced on long term.
