Jowat Introduces Granular Hot-Melt Adhesive for Automated Beverage Carton Closures

Reliable feeding, versatile application and reduced adhesive consumption: Jowatherm® 855.00 is Jowat’s granular hot-melt adhesive designed to optimise automated bonding processes for beverage carton closures.

In industrial adhesive applications, process reliability and consistent adhesive delivery are essential to maintaining production efficiency. This is particularly true for automated beverage carton closure systems, where uninterrupted feeding and reliable bonding performance help ensure continuous operation.

Jowat addresses these requirements with Jowatherm® 855.00, a granular hot-melt adhesive developed for beverage carton closure applications. The product belongs to the company’s Jowatherm EVA-based hot-melt adhesive range. According to Jowat, it is the first universal adhesive for closures available in granular form.

Consistent Feeding for Automated Production

The granular format is designed for use with automatic feeding systems, supporting a high degree of process automation. According to the manufacturer, the adhesive’s consistent flow helps prevent blockages and supports uninterrupted production.

These properties make Jowatherm® 855.00 a solution worth considering for packaging manufacturers seeking to improve process stability and minimise interruptions in automated closure operations.

Flexible Application and Adhesive Consumption Optimisation

Application experience indicates that Jowatherm® 855.00 can be processed using both nozzle and roller application systems, offering flexibility for different production configurations.

Key reported performance characteristics include rapid strength development and high bonding strength. Jowat also highlights a lower average application weight, which can help reduce adhesive consumption and improve material efficiency.

For manufacturers operating high-volume packaging lines, these characteristics can contribute to more efficient adhesive use while meeting the bonding requirements of beverage carton closure systems.
