Slautterback Hot Melt Equipment Supported by Astro Packaging

Astro Packaging was previously the largest North American Slautterback® distributor in the country, and now manufactures and supports the complete line of Slautterback® hot melt equipment in Astro RED! The popular Slautterback® KB20 and the Slautterback LS10 hot melt units are still available, with spare parts in stock.

Born from the all-electric technology started by Fred Slautterback, Astro Packaging has built a complete line of hot melt glue machines that are still compatible with old Slautterback glue machines. Compatible spare parts are in stock and available for same day shipping.

With several enhancements to the Slautterback® design, Astro Packaging is the only company in the U.S. that manufactures replacement parts and offers technical support that Slautterback® customers came to appreciate and deserve. Astro Packaging has a large distribution network throughout the United States to help support the Astro brand of hot melt equipment.
