E-Z Lok, a leading manufacturer and master distributor of threaded inserts for metal, plastic, and wood has purchased a Loctite® machine.
“We decided several years ago that bringing Loctite application in-house would allow us to more efficiently and cost effectively apply the coating,” said Kyle Lindsly-Roach, director of sales and marketing.” E-Z Lok purchased the machine nine months ago. It applies Loctite to the external threads of the solid wall inserts, which proceed through a curing oven. Afterwards, the inserts are ready to use.
Having the machine at E-Z Lok’s Gardena, California, headquarters brings several benefits. Not only does the company save time by no longer using outside processers but they can apply the Loctite in a semi-automated fashion, thus increasing their throughput.
“Loctite is an integral part of our company’s hallmark E-Z Lok inserts for metal, as it is this adhesive that holds the insert in place once installed,” said Lindsly-Roach.
