Valco Melton has unveiled its Kube Zero melt-on-demand system for adhesives, focused on productivity, efficiency, and workplace safety and said to reduce start-up time by 65%. The company tells us more in this edition of the Spotlight.
Featuring 10 independent outlets, the Kube Zero can feed multiple applicators with no risk of supply issues. Designed for automated and demanding environments, the melt-on-demand technology melts only the adhesive that is required.
By using an automated feeding system, the adhesive is prevented from carbonizing due to excessive time in the tank, ensuring it retains all its properties at all times. This system also reduces the need for operator intervention, boosting productivity through automated refilling by preventing the unit from running empty due to oversight or adhesive pellets being spilled on the floor.
Startup time is a decisive factor for any melter: until the adhesive reaches the correct temperature and viscosity, the production line cannot begin. Every minute of heating means a minute of downtime. The Kube Zero has reduced start-up time by 65%, directly increasing line productivity.
An important feature is the new monoblock design, which integrates the tank, pump, and manifold into a single compact structure. Valco Melton’s Engineering team has developed this new design that maximizes melting efficiency, optimizes space, and minimizes the risk of leaks.
The new design allows quick access to components from the front of the unit, reducing maintenance times and simplifying tasks. In terms of safety, the Kube Zero incorporates a new insulation material that keeps external surfaces below 45°C, lowering the risk of burns while improving energy efficiency. Unlike conventional insulation, these materials do not degrade over time, ensuring long-lasting protection.
With its combination of efficiency, reliability, and safety, the Kube Zero represents a significant step forward in adhesive application technology. Designed for those who demand more from their melter, it helps manufacturers produce more with fewer complications and less downtime.
