3.2 Description
The ITW Dynatec DM55 DynaDrum™ Bulk Adhesive Melter is a stationary melter that
combines a heated platen, pump and all controls needed to melt and dispense hot melt
adhesives, sealants, PURs or coatings from a standard 55-gallon steel drum.
The controller provides accurate, proportionate temperature control for the platen, hoses
and applicators. A “standby” temperature may be programmed so that the temperature
zones can be independently maintained at a lower temperature when the unit is not in
active use, enabling rapid return to normal operation.
An extremely dependable, pressure-balanced piston pump is standard. This air-operated
pump insures a high pressure adhesive output from a low pressure, compressed air
input. The Bulk Melter can be utilized as a bulk-transfer unit or as a stand-alone unit. It
can supply one or two hand-held applicators, distribution manifolds or applicator heads.
