Glue Folding with cold glue, hot/fugitive glue, and/or remoistenable glue

Remoistenable Gluing

Remoistenable glue is a line of glue which is dry on the finished product and which activates when moisture is applied to seal the product. As it is an inline process on Pacific Bindery’s folding equipment, we have the ability to apply hot melt remoist glue; perforate; apply cold glue (used to ‘permanently seal’); slit; and/or fold, and even tip-on another piece using fugitive glue at the same time.

Longford Tipping Machine

This service allows the feeding and tipping of one component on to another, such as a membership or credit card, CD/DVD (as long as they are in a protective sleeve), coupon, leaflet, or signature. We can glue tip-ons with traditional glues (non removable) or fugitive glue, which provides easy release capabilities. With fugitive glue we can glue two surfaces together which can subsequently be pulled apart with a minimum of paper fiber tear. The best substrate for fugitive glues are penetration-resistant, highly coated, heavily inked, dense paper.

Features:
Batch counter. This feature allows us to count pre-determined batch sizes, at very high speeds. Example: Counting 8 ˝ x 11’s into 25’s. Longford would count/feed 25 sheets very quickly (20 M/hr range) and pause for a selected amount of time, then continue with the next batch. The smaller the component, the faster it will feed.

Multiple feeds: We are able to trigger more than one feed at a time. This is done using the batch feeder feature. Example: Multiple cards are required on a carrier. From one signal from the photo cell, it will fire up to 100 pieces. The distance between the pieces is adjustable but the distance between multiple pieces on the same carrier is fixed. i.e. 2” centers.

Portability: Due to the nature of this machine, it can be moved around the shop and used for many different applications.
