Surging ahead with ITW Dynatec

ITW Dynatec took home a second ‘Most Innovative Technology’ award at IDEA 13, making show history as the first company ever to claim the award twice.

The company’s Surge technology - which allows converters to make considerable savings in raw materials - won this top honour in the Equipment Category for the INDA Nonwovens Achievement Awards.

“Our mission is to listen to manufacturers and solve the challenges that they face, and it’s so rewarding to see that our efforts are providing value to our customers,” said Christof Schotten, vice president and general manager at ITW Dynatec (pictured right, receiving the award from INDA president Dave Rousse). “I would like to thank our R&D and marketing departments for their efforts in creating this valuable technology and bringing it to manufacturers to give them a competitive edge.”

Choice is at the cornerstone of Surge, offering manufacturers the ability to apply different weights of adhesive on the same substrate without requiring cost-prohibitive equipment and processes for the first time ever.  Before Surge, manufacturers had to apply the heaviest adhesive volume needed across the entire substrate, even if other areas of the material required much less. As a result, Surge customers realise exceptional adhesive savings, significant waste reduction and increased product performance.

ITW Dynatec won the ‘Most Innovative Technology’ category for its Vector Platform at the last IDEA conference in 2010.

The company designs and manufactures a full range of industrial adhesive applications for the disposable hygiene products, coating and laminating and packaging industries worldwide.  Its fluid dispensing systems are used globally in the manufacturing of diapers and a wide range of other consumer and industrial products.
