Adhesive cleaners
Cleaners simplify daily work, improve line efficiency and extend the life of your adhesive application equipment.
Adhesive residue on nozzles, applicators, rollers and conveyor parts is a leading cause of uneven application, downtime and scrap. Regular, correct cleaning is not an extra cost - it is a direct saving in production.
We supply cleaners for hot melt, dispersion and reactive adhesive residues, as well as degreasers and surface preparation products. Our engineers recommend the product and procedure based on your adhesive type, equipment materials and food-safety requirements.
Where it is used
Four typical cleaning areas in production plants.
Applicator and nozzle cleaning
Removing carbonised hot melt residue from nozzles, filters, hoses and applicator heads - without damaging seals or sensitive parts.
Machine and line cleaning
Removing adhesive build-up from rollers, guides, conveyor belts and guarding during planned maintenance or adhesive changeovers.
Surface preparation before bonding
Degreasing and removing oils, dust and release agents - the precondition for full bond strength and repeatable quality.
Plant maintenance
Cleaners for tools, work surfaces, floors and hands - a tidy plant and a safe working environment.
Four parameters of effective cleaning
Chemistry
Selecting the cleaner for the adhesive type and equipment materials - alkaline, neutral or solvent based.
Mechanical action
The right technique: immersion, spraying, brushing or ultrasonic cleaning of parts.
Temperature
A working temperature that dissolves residue without harming seals and coatings.
Time
Enough contact time - shorter line stops with complete removal of deposits.
Benefits of correct cleaning
Fewer unplanned stoppages
Clean nozzles and applicators mean consistent adhesive application, with no line stops caused by clogging or misfiring.
Longer equipment life
Removing carbonised deposits prevents wear and failure of expensive adhesive system components.
Consistent bond quality
A clean, degreased surface delivers full bond strength and repeatable results batch after batch.
Safety and environmental responsibility
Formulations with lower volatile content, clear safety data sheets and defined safe-handling procedures.
