Line Assessments Identify Cost-Saving Opportunities

When a Bostik expert comes into your plant to conduct an evaluation, they assess how your case and carton sealing line is currently running. This includes noting current:

Environmental conditions
Equipment settings
End-use package performance
Safety measures
SKU volumes
Product usage

Optimize Operational Expenses

Our experts will help you identify areas that can be improved. For example, perhaps your temperature settings have been too high or low, causing adhesion failure, improper cure time, and costly line stoppages. Or, perhaps you are purchasing multiple SKUs when only one adhesive is needed for a wide range of consumer products.

Evaluations will identify these and other problems that are leading to increased line costs.

Line Assessments Address Downtime Problems

Additionally, our trained team can pinpoint problems that are causing preventable plant downtime.

Minimize Stoppages for Cleaning and Maintenance

Specific issues that your plant may be experiencing can include:

Avoidable equipment maintenance
Unclogging nozzles to remove charring
Cleaning up wasted adhesive

While these problems may not be front of mind to fix right away, their associated downtime costs can add up. Our evaluations ensure you have the right products and settings to avoid unwanted—and unnecessary—maintenance problems.

Line Assessments Review Sustainability Considerations

In addition to potential cost savings, the information provided by our experts can assist you in reducing your environmental impact without negatively impacting performance.

Reduce Consumption of Materials and Energy

We can tell you if we see opportunities to:

Decrease the amount of adhesive used to minimize waste
Lower add-on temperature to reduce energy consumption
