Fast process bonding
HOT-MELT adhesive does not require solvent evaporation or long drying. After application it quickly moves on to the next production steps.

Coating lines based on HOT-MELT technology
We design and build complete systems for coating, lamination and application of HOT-MELT adhesives. We combine the right choice of application method, process precision and practical experience gained over many years of industrial work.
On this page we present the main application types — slot, spray and linear — in a professional way that is also clear to people who do not work with adhesive technology every day.

01 — Technology in plain terms
What exactly is HOT-MELT application?
In short, it is the application of a hot-melt adhesive in liquid form, after heating it to the right temperature. The adhesive flows from the melter to the application head and onto the material as a film, beads, dots or spray.
The technology catalogue makes it clear that in industrial practice there are three key families of solutions: slot application for a full adhesive layer, spray application for a lighter, partial coverage, and linear application for beads, dots and assembly patterns. To this you add a properly chosen melting system and stable material handling.

02 — Competitive advantages
Why HOT-MELT wins in many applications
02
Precise coat-weight control
We select the head, pump, temperature and material path so that the adhesive layer is stable, repeatable and cost-efficient.
03
One technology — many materials
HOT-MELT works in lamination, coating, spot application and joining of different substrates: foams, nonwovens, films, paper, fabrics and 3D parts.
04
Line designed for the product
We do not offer off-the-shelf configurations. Every line is tailored to a specific material, the expected throughput and how the finished product is to be collected.
shorter process time and fewer stops between application and further processing
lower adhesive consumption thanks to the right choice of application method and coat weight
very good quality repeatability in serial production
ability to run both sheet and roll-to-roll layouts
easier integration with conveying, cutting, lamination and product collection
design of complete lines based on many years of commissioning practice
03 — Application types
The main ways of applying HOT-MELT adhesives
This is where the biggest difference comes from — between a line that simply works and a line that runs stably, efficiently and delivers a predictable end result.
01
Slot application
for a full or near-full adhesive layer
The slot head contacts the material and lays down an even adhesive film across the full working width. It is the basic solution for coating and lamination processes where a uniform layer and very good repeatability matter.
- roll-to-roll lamination
- coating of foams and nonwovens
- joining of multilayer structures
02
Spray application
for light, economical and partial application
Spray heads apply the adhesive without contact with the material. They create a fibrous structure or partial surface coverage, so adhesive consumption is lower and the material retains more flexibility and breathability.
- materials with low heat resistance
- perforated parts
- items with irregular geometry
03
Linear / extruded application
for beads, strips, dots and broken lines
Linear heads deliver the adhesive as a continuous bead, dots or broken lines. It is an excellent solution wherever two materials need to be joined only in selected spots while keeping control of the application pattern.
- packaging and assembly
- joining of separators and seals
- technological patterns on sheets and parts
04
Hot-roll application
for boards, perforated parts and fabrics
A heated roll applies a thin, uniform adhesive layer across the whole material surface in continuous motion. The method excels where full, homogeneous coverage is needed without flooding holes — especially with boards, perforated parts and fabrics with varying structure. Thanks to controlled coat weight and gentle contact with the substrate, the material keeps its properties and the adhesive lands exactly where it should.
- boards and sandwich panels
- perforated parts and meshes
- technical fabrics and flexible materials

05 — Patterns and application quality
Not just the machine — the result on the material counts
In practice the customer judges a line by the end result: whether the layer is even, whether the application pattern repeats across the whole batch, and whether the material keeps its required performance.
That is why during design we focus not only on the mechanics of the line, but also on temperature control, feed stability, geometry of the adhesive path and the right material handling.
HM-01
Analysis of material and application goal
We check what is to be joined or coated, the working width, the coat weight, throughput and how the material is to be collected.
HM-02
Selection of head type and melting system
At this stage we choose slot, spray or linear application, the right melter, pump system and process control.
HM-03
Build, commissioning and optimization
We deploy a complete technological line, set process parameters and help you reach stable, repeatable production.
06 — Commissioning experience
Many years of experience means less risk on the customer side
Our advantage is not only machine building, but knowing how HOT-MELT adhesives behave in a real process. Thanks to this we reach the right parameters faster, predict material limitations more easily and pick the right line architecture more efficiently.
What does this give you in practice?
- a more accurate technology choice right from the project start
- fewer trials and corrections during start-up
- better repeatability of parameters in serial production
- safer commissioning for materials that demand precision
- easier extension of the line with further process sections
07 — Cooperation
If you are planning a coating or lamination process — let's talk about a HOT-MELT line
We prepare solutions from single application stations up to complete technological lines with material handling, melting systems, application and take-off. We tailor the solution to the product, throughput and real working conditions on the shop floor.
