Uniflow has announced an exclusive distribution agreement with Acumeter Laboratories for the North American web coating and roll-to-roll converting market.
The agreement brings together two complementary technology platforms: Uniflow’s hot melt drum unloader systems and Acumeter’s hot melt processors, metering systems, and coating equipment. Together, the combined product portfolio supports a more complete adhesive delivery process — from bulk melting and material handling through precision metering and application.
For tape, label, and specialty converting manufacturers, this partnership is especially relevant in applications where coating consistency, material efficiency, and reliable production are critical.
Supporting a More Complete Adhesive Delivery Process
High-performance converting applications often depend on more than one part of the adhesive system. Bulk material must be melted and delivered consistently. Flow must be controlled. Coating weights must remain accurate. Equipment must perform reliably over long production runs.
Uniflow drum unloaders are engineered for high-output adhesive handling, non-pulsating flow, and minimal residual waste. Acumeter’s systems add accurate metering, precise coat weight control, and proven coating performance in demanding roll-to-roll production environments.
By combining these capabilities, Uniflow and Acumeter can support converters across a wider portion of the hot melt process, including melting, pumping, metering, coating, laminating, and bonding.
Built for Demanding Converting Applications
The combined solution is designed for manufacturers working with pressure-sensitive adhesives, UV acrylics, and other demanding hot melt applications across tape, label, and specialty converting markets.
These applications often require consistent adhesive delivery, reliable coat weight control, reduced waste, and dependable system performance. The Uniflow–Acumeter partnership gives North American converters access to integrated equipment solutions that address these needs from drum unloading through precision application.
A Stronger Solution for the North American Market
The web coating and roll-to-roll converting sector continues to evolve as manufacturers respond to demand for advanced materials, higher-performance adhesives, and improved production efficiency.
Through this exclusive distribution agreement, Uniflow will serve as Acumeter’s channel partner for hot melt processors in North America, helping bring Acumeter’s metering and coating technology to more converters while pairing it with Uniflow’s proven drum unloader systems.
The partnership strengthens Uniflow’s ability to help manufacturers improve efficiency, reduce waste, and support consistent adhesive application across roll-to-roll processes.
