In the packaging and food production sectors, it is important to keep facilities in optimal condition. Accumulation of hot melt glue residues in machinery can reduce performance, increase downtime, and negatively impact the quality of the finished product. Additionally, the use of aggressive solvents can pose significant risks to operator health and the environment.
To meet these needs, H.B. Fuller has developed Swift clean 6500, an innovative, biodegradable, and certified adhesive cleaner for applications in the food and packaging industry. It is a hot melt cleaner capable of ensuring efficiency, safety, and sustainability, minimizing operational risks.
Effective Cleaning of Adhesive Residues
One of the main strengths of Swiftclean is its ability to quickly and effectively remove hot glue residues from tanks, application heads, conveyors, chains, and industrial machinery.
Hot melt adhesives, if not properly treated, tend to solidify and accumulate, hindering the operation of gluing systems and increasing maintenance costs. With Swift clean 6500, removal is simple and fast: the product acts directly on surfaces, dissolving residues without compromising equipment functionality.
This efficiency allows for reduced downtime and improved production continuity, a critical factor for companies operating on high-speed lines, such as in the food and beverage packaging sector.
Safety for Operators and Work Environments
Plant maintenance should never compromise operator health. Many traditional adhesive removal cleaners contain flammable solvents or release hazardous fumes, with potential toxic and carcinogenic effects.
Swift clean 6500 represents a safe alternative: it is not flammable, does not produce harmful vapors, and can be used safely even in enclosed or confined spaces. This aspect eliminates the need for complex ventilation procedures and reduces costs associated with additional protective equipment.
For safety managers, this means being able to adopt an adhesive cleaner that complies with the strictest regulations, ensuring safe working conditions and a risk-free production environment.
Sustainability and Environmental Respect
Companies in the food and packaging sector are increasingly committed to reducing the environmental impact of their activities. Swift clean 6500 is a 100% biodegradable product, free of substances harmful to the ozone layer and without contributing to the greenhouse effect.
These characteristics make it an ideal choice for those who wish to combine high cleaning performance with responsible resource management and a reduction in environmental emissions.
Additionally, its non-corrosive nature allows the product to be used on a wide range of surfaces without causing damage, making it extremely versatile and reducing the risk of premature component replacement.
Applications and Compatibility
According to technical data sheets, Swift clean 6500 is particularly suitable for:
- removal of hot melt adhesive residues from tanks and application heads;
- cleaning of machinery, chains, and conveyors;
- maintenance interventions in packaging and food processing plants;
- applications requiring a hot melt cleaner compatible with various surfaces, including delicate ones.
The agent can be safely used on metal, plastic, and coated surfaces. However, it is recommended to perform a preliminary test on small, non-visible areas, especially in the presence of sensitive materials such as plexiglass or painted surfaces.
Certifications and Regulatory Compliance
One of the most relevant aspects for those operating in the food & beverage sector is the compliance of the products used with food safety standards. Swift clean 6500 has been certified by:
- NSF (National Sanitation Foundation), which guarantees the suitability of the product for use in food production environments;
- ISEGA (Germany), which certifies the safety of the cleaner for indirect contact with food and packaging materials.
In addition to these certifications, Swift clean 6500 complies with European chemical substance regulations (REACH) and is not classified as a hazardous substance.
These recognitions strengthen manufacturers’ confidence, ensuring that the use of the product is fully in line with regulatory requirements and international safety and hygiene standards.
Operational Advantages
Adopting Swift clean 6500 offers numerous practical advantages for companies:
- Reduced machine downtime, thanks to quick and effective cleaning.
- Improved workplace safety, with a non-flammable product free of toxic fumes.
- Lower environmental impact, thanks to 100% biodegradability.
- Surface protection, with a non-corrosive formulation.
- Certified compliance, through NSF and ISEGA attestations.
It is therefore a solution that integrates performance, safety, and sustainability, elements increasingly central to corporate maintenance and plant management strategies.
