Label Adhesive Application
Problem: A manufacturing facility needed to apply glue precisely to labels on plastic containers, but they were experiencing significant quality control issues. Their existing AODD pump produced inconsistent and highly variable flow due to hydraulic pulsations inherent in the pump design. These flow fluctuations made it impossible to apply the adhesive evenly and accurately to the product labels, resulting in defective products, waste, and potential production slowdowns. The challenge was particularly difficult given the nature of the material—a water-based adhesive with high viscosity (110,000 centipoise)—which amplified the pulsation problems.
