The EcoStitch is ideal for applications for high line speeds, fast cycle rates, and long service life. Electric valves allow you to use a ‘stitch’ mode to apply minimal adhesive beads with virtually no stringing to guarantee an extremely accurate application, even at the highest line speeds.
The EcoStitch™ MXM valve easily reaches 3000 cycles per minute continuous duty and has a cycle lifetime of up to 2 BILLION (2,000,000,000) cycles. Paired with a Valco Melton pattern controller, you are able to customize patterns to optimize efficiency and reduce adhesive consumption by up to 75%.
Instant Payback: The system pays for itself in as little as 4 months of use following install.
Material Savings: The All-Electric solution allows you to use “stitch mode” to apply minimal adhesive beads with no stringing and a perfect bond. We have proven a 35% – 75% adhesive reduction in every install.
Less Downtime: Electric gear pumps and electric valves remove almost all seals typically required to run a pneumatic system. This reduces the chance of failure created by too many moving parts.
Safer Operation: Electric hot melt systems require lower pressure settings than pneumatic systems for a safer work environment.
Eliminate Clogged Nozzles: Functionally eliminate clogged nozzles by working at lower pressures with larger nozzle orifices.
