01

Before

3,5 – 7L waste (remaining glue)

  • The pump plate cannot go all the way down because it sucks the plastic bag into the pump and causes malfunctions. It had to be adjusted higher up, which meant more adhesive was wasted at the end of the barrel.

02

After

85,7% less waste (1L remaining glue)

The implementation of a perforated accessory in the pump plate prevents the plastic from entering and allows the sensor to be adjusted completely downwards, reducing adhesive waste. For the 25 Kg drums, an inhouse developed drilled pump plate was implemented.
