Minimizing risks along the packaging line

After choosing a safe adhesive, food manufactures should consider and minimize further risks along the packaging line, including an uncontrolled exposure of foodstuff to dust, machine cleaners, spilled adhesive, but also a sub-optimal set-up of the adhesive system such as incorrect adhesive application quantity, wrong adhesive temperature, or a sub-optimal adhesive placement on the package.

All of these factors may negatively impact the safety of the final food products, which may expose consumers to health risks. It is therefore crucial that these factors are continuously addressed and minimized.

Our Technical Customer Service experts guide our customers to minimize risks for food safety that may occur along the packaging line. Their extensive experience in the food packaging industry, along with a close exchange with OEMs, OMMs and industry associations, offers a single point of contact for theoretical and practical aspects of food safety.

We offer:

The Henkel Technical Customer Service support will not only contribute to higher safety around your packaging line, but will also reduce machine downtime and extend longevity of machine spare parts.
