More than 12 months of developing time elapsed before the press release below could be published, and the VACFLOW method was introduced, for which in the meantime a patent application had been filed. Then Kiefel GmbH and Jowat SE could finally invite their customers to the “KIEFEL adhesive application technology day“ and the new VACFLOW laminating procedure was presented together with Hardo, partner in this development. A great success, good results all around, a lot of know- how and the capability to cooperate. But above all a huge contribution to generating added value for the customer. VACFLOW reduces the factors costs and time in the manufacture of components in pilot production, improves serial quality and process reliability, while at the same time creating an end product with lower weight, arrived at with less consumption of material. VACFLOW shows that the adhesive technology still has a large potential for further development and is a long way from reaching its limits. Adhesives and bonding processes are raw materials for innovations, and a competent application consulting is an absolute must to create added value. press release below could be published, and the VACFLOW 14 Author Andreas Ditze Application Technology Automotive | Textile | Electrical Industry The new VACFLOW technology is the latest result of the co-operation between the 3 companies. Sophisticated machine construction and a perfectly matched and applied adhesive provide a remarkable improvement to economics and ensure a high quality final product. “Our close, trusting co-operation with the adhesive specialist Jowat and the actual innovation made the VACFLOW project a success. However, the devil is in the detail“, reports Andreas Frisch, automotive division head at Kiefel. “We are delighted to now be ready to go into production and to be able to offer this new patented procedure to our customers.“ In addition to increased process reliability of the procedure right from the start, the benefits speak for themselves. Time and cost-intensive optimisation cycles during project execution can therefore be saved and the project durations can be reduced by impressive amounts. Pre-production parts with series-production quality are available to the users quickly. The parts can also be reworked in later project phases. Using VACFLOW reduces investment and series production costs. It also reduces the weight of the completed part significantly.
