Loading protein glue into equipment for production is a standard procedure for many manufacturers. This blog specifically covers recommendations for using Emmeci rigid box machine, but these tips might be helpful for most MGFs using protein glue in the production line. 

Do you struggle to measure the solids in your gelatin glues accurately? One of the most efficient and accurate methods in manufacturing for checking brix solids in gelatin glue is to use a refractometer.

A refractometer is a simple handheld tool used to measure the percentage of solids. This device is beneficial for those that use protein, gelatin-based glues.

Accidents happen. Water-based and protein glues are popular for packaging, laminating, and labeling applications and need to be applied as a liquid. The risk of having an accidental spill increases when glues are in the liquid state.
