Suresh Nair of Welbound said, “The idea behind promoting the machine was to create awareness about the advantages that hot melt adhesive has over tapes, when it comes to packing transport cartons. Usage of tapes is overwhelmingly dominant in shipping carton packing industry. The Hotcase 500 provides better brand value, superior case stability, clean surface and improved packaging security.”
 
Welbound Hotcase 500 comes with top and bottom case sealing with hot melts, Nordson hot melt dispensing unit has a speed up to 20 cases per minute and comes with interlocking safety shields and optical feed-in conveyor.
 
In Hotcase 500, the sealing tapes are replaced with hot melt adhesive. With adhesive, both inner and outer flappers come in contact and provide more structural rigidity. With the use of hot melt adhesive, it encourages clean, tape-free surface to promote brand, improve case stability and palletising, possible cost savings versus tape spend, improved packaging security (temper evidence), long-term bonds for long-term storage and shipping and reduction in product damages as it ensures there is no knife used for opening of cases.
