Envoprint, based near Chesterfield, UK, has taken delivery of a GLUEJET® from Bickers. This XY Gluer can apply hot-melt and PVA adhesives in almost any pattern, and will be used in POS display assembly work. It is currently producing social distancing screens in the fight against COVID-19. The main USP of the Bickers GLUEJET® is its state-of-the-art ability to apply up to three lines of glue in a single pass on the X & Y directions at up to 6m per second application speed, together with full 360 degree access around the rising tables.
A typical way of working would be to apply two lines of pressure sensitive hot melt spray adhesive with one line of PVA in the centre, giving maximum strength in all conditions once pressed together. In addition, the Bickers GLUEJET® has unparalleled safety features, world class parts and UK-based engineer support. Jan Stevens (UK Engineer) quickly assembled the machine and training commenced half way through day one.
Keith Davies comments: “The Bickers GLUEJET® is part of a larger 2021 investment programme which includes an Agfa Mira inkjet printer and a Blackman & White CNC cutter”. The Bickers GLUEJET® XY Gluer gives Envoprint a leading edge in the market and offers us greater flexibility with a faster turnaround.”
Neil Thayer of Finishline Machinery, Bickers UK and Ireland Sales Agent says: “The GLUEJET® XY Gluer from Bickers continues to be very popular, with over 65 installations – six of which were installed last year (2020) during the COVID-19 pandemic and many more are on order.”
