Yesterday at the IDEA Achievement Awards presentation, ITW Dynatec took home its third consecutive “Most Innovative Technology” award, making IDEA history as the first company ever to claim the award three times. ITW Dynatec’s Ultra Strand Coating System (SCS) won this top honor in the Equipment Category.

"Our mission at ITW Dynatec is to listen to our customers and solve their most difficult bonding challenges by delivering innovation in adhesive application technology,” says Gina Powers, vice president/general manager, ITW Dynatec. “I would like to thank the global Dynatec team for their efforts in delivering this valuable solution to our customers. We are honored in being recognized a third time for the IDEA Achievement awards and feel immense gratitude to INDA for acknowledging our efforts in developing industry-leading innovations for the nonwovens industry."

The ITW Dynatec Ultra SCS is a revolutionary patent-pending strand applicator that is specifically designed for the disposable hygiene market. SCS technology brings the highest level of efficiency to the application of adhesive coatings on elastic strands for enhanced manufacturing line efficiency and superior end product performance. Ultra SCS key features include: high-speed technology (up to 1400 pads per minute); Rapid Change-Over (RCO) design for quicker maintenance; ultra-stitch and ultra-touch nozzle designs to meet multiple requirements; integrated hardened steel elastic strand guides for extended lifespan; larger adhesive orifices for less plugging and higher line efficiency; optimized module technology for faster response and longer cycle life; and the lowest usage of adhesive available with total creep strength down to 1% (even as low as 15 grams/linear meter/strand).

ITW Dynatec has a distinguished history with the IDEA event held every three years as a multiple award recipient from past shows. In 2010 and 2013, the company won the “Most Innovative Technology” award in the equipment classification, making them the first company ever to receive back-to-back recognitions in that category.
