We wanted to give you a heads up! At LD Davis, we’re changing the way our gelatin glue ships.

Staying at the forefront of glue manufacturing requires innovation. When you’re one of the world’s oldest manufacturers and compounders of gelatin glue, your equipment may need an upgrade. Recently, Lee Process Equipment™ (LPE) helped our facility in Monroe, NC replace four existing fountain blenders to improve our bulk material handling process.

Working with adhesives can be notoriously tricky. When we get calls about why a customer’s glue isn’t working, it could stem from various factors. If you believe your protein glue application isn’t running as optimally as it should be and want a second option, here are some of the questions a glue expert is likely to ask when troubleshooting your adhesive application. 

As many manufacturers know, using protein glue in production is a bit of a balancing act. Apply adhesives require operators to consider several variables to ensure it has the proper adhesion. When using natural protein glue, you mainly have to think about three aspects: temperature, viscosity, and the amount of adhesive applied.
