Packaging equipment labeling system takes honors

Nordson PatternJet labeling system wins French industry production equipment award for innovation in the packaging industry.

The 2007 Oscar de l'Emballage Production Equipment Award has been presented to Nordson Corporation for its PatternJet* innovative labeling system used in the packaging industry.

Nordson wrap-around labeling systems with PatternJet guns are designed for high-speed labeling of containers in various shapes and sizes. The closed, non-circulating labeling system accurately controls temperature and prevents adhesive degradation and contamination. Gear-to-line pump technology consistently applies adhesive at any line speed to reduce adhesive waste and eliminate angel hair. Compared to traditional wheel pot applicators, the
Nordson labeling system delivers higher operational efficiency, significant adhesive savings, and lower total cost of ownership.

The 52nd Oscar de l'Emballage Awards event took place in November at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Paris, France. More than 250 industry members attended the ceremony where the 14 winners were announced. The judging panel considered 100 nominations based on technical innovation, design and trade performance in four packaging categories: consumables, distribution, production, and environment.

Labeling systems with PatternJet guns are designed for high-speed labeling of containers in various shapes and sizes.

Nordson labeling systems represent a significant improvement over older wheel-pot technologies. The closed system and controlled, accurate pattern placement reduces adhesive waste and subsequent machine downtime. Open wheel-pot systems expose the hot melt adhesive to contaminants, which causes material degradation. Contaminated adhesive can then be transferred onto containers, reducing adhesive effectiveness and impairing the packaging appearance.

"We are pleased to accept such a prestigious award for the PatternJet labeling system," said Jean-Claude Cheminand-Serre, general manager for Nordson France. "The PatternJet labeling system has seen great success in the food and beverage industries due to its unmatched ability to reduce operational costs and increase efficiency in labeling applications."
