Abstract

The development of the CollaMat glue measuring system started at Norddeutsche Affinerie (NA) in 1986. Since 1989, CollaMat has been used for continuous glue measuring in NA’s copper tankhouse. In addition, the system is used under license worldwide in ten tankhouses. This paper provides an overview of basic CollaMat investigations in the laboratory as well as NA experiences in the production plant.
