4. MELTER OPERATION
This section explains how to operate the melter. Although the equipment is
very easy to operate, it should not be used by untrained personnel.
Warning: Improper use may cause damage to the equipment itself or the
person using it and can even result in death.
General information
There are three large groups of thermally controlled components in a hot-
melt installation: the melter unit, the transport hoses and the applicators. All
of these are controlled form the melter’s front panel.
The first large group is the tank-distributor-pump unit. They form one single
unit and have the same temperature control and set point value. Therefore,
when the set point value for the cylindrical hopper is set to 170°C, for
example, this same value is set for the distributor and pump.
The second group is the hose unit. These are identified on the front panel with
the numbers 1 and 2 and the corresponding hose drawing. Each hose has its
own set point value.
The third group is the applicator unit. These are identified on the front panel
with the numbers 1 and 2 and the corresponding applicator drawing. Each
applicator has its own set point value.
The hose and applicator numbers are automatically assigned to the hose/
applicator channel to which they are connected via the connector on one side
of the melter.
