MELTER OPERATION
Loading the adhesive into the cylindrical hopper
The equipment is equipped with a sensor in the pneumatic cylinder which
warns when the block is completely melted (optional system). In this case, the
warning light will display an alert to change the block (white light).
If this is not the case, a marking on the cylinder rod indicates that the adhesive
block is almost finished.
To fill the cylindrical hopper for the first time or reload the adhesive block:
1. If the cylinder is not in the upper position, push the manual lever valve
upwards to raise the cylinder.
2. Release the retractable positioner and release the unit from the
support plate along with the cylinder and pusher disk.
3. Open the adhesive block with the indicated marking leaving
approximately 1 cm of the bag inside and insert the block into the
cylindrical hopper.
Warning: Risk of burns. Always wear protective gloves and safety glasses
when refilling.
4. Reposition the unit in the support plate along with the cylinder and
pusher disk using the retractable positioner. Move the manual lever
valve downwards to lower the cylinder.
Warning: Pay special attention when lowering the pusher disk to avoid this
becoming trapped with the adhesive cylindrical hopper. This space should
always be free from objects.
The pusher disk should be perfectly aligned with the cylindrical hopper. These
two components and the adhesive bag should be completely airtight.
Warning: Before refilling the cylinder, ensure that the adhesive is the same
type as the existing one. Mixing different types of adhesive may damage the
melter.
