Display printer 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 and is currently producing social distancing screens in the fight against COVID-19.
Keith Davies, Managing Director, Envoprint, 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 Gluejet gives us a leading edge in the market and offers us greater flexibility with a faster turnaround.”
Neil Thayer of Finishline Machinery, Bickers UK & Ireland Sales Agent says, “The main USP of the 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 machine has unparalleled safety features, world class parts and UK based engineer support. Jan Stevens quickly assembled the machine and training commenced half way through day one.”
