Baumer HHS to highlight complete systems at Interpack

The Krefeld-based manufacturer will showcase its portfolio from 7 to 13 May 2026 at Dusseldorf in Hall 18, Booth E07. The company provides industrial gluing technology for folding cartons, corrugated packaging, and end-of-line processing. Martin Kotecki, packaging business development manager at Baumer, says the company takes a holistic approach where all components are optimised for specific applications to ensure process reliability and energy efficiency.

A primary exhibit in Dusseldorf is the next-generation Xmelt complete system for hot melt applications. The system comprises the Xmelt fusion melter, DF hot melt hoses with metal cores, and PXH 1000 electric application heads. With a power input of 1.6-kW, the Xmelt fusion achieves a 30% higher melt rate compared to previous models, reducing preheating time to less than 20 minutes.

Kotecki says the system is ready for operation in approximately half the time required by standard tank systems. He says this increased availability allows users to produce roughly 1,600 additional packaging products during the time other melters are still heating up. The unit features an integrated adhesives database for automatic settings and an Auto Eco mode that lowers temperatures during production interruptions to save 6% on energy consumption.

The accompanying DF hot melt hoses utilise a metal core to reduce energy consumption by 20% while preventing adhesive charring. These hoses offer a service life approximately three times longer than conventional alternatives. For the application stage, the PXH 1000 electric head provides a closing force similar to pneumatic dispensers, ensuring precise cut-off for high-viscosity adhesives. The head is rated for over one-billion cycles to support long-term process stability and reduced maintenance.

The company will also demonstrate the Xdot system for digital braille application. Marcell van Meegen, business development manager at Baumer, says the company will showcase a new application within this segment at the fair. Further live demonstrations will include a palletising solution that utilises hot melt adhesives to secure loads. This method is designed to reduce plastic film consumption in logistics by up to 80%.

All exhibits align with the manufacturer’s sustainability strategy, titled Rethink. Renew. Recycle., which focuses on reducing adhesive waste and CO2 emissions across the supply chain. Attendees are also invited to visit the Baumer solution-center in nearby Krefeld for further technical demonstrations of quality assurance and gluing applications.
