4. MELTER OPERATION
In this section we will introduce the method for using the melter. Although its
operation is very simple, it should not be used by untrained personnel.
Warning: Improper use may cause damage to the machine or injury and even
death to the person using it.
General information
There are three large groups of components with thermal control in a hot-
melt installation: the fusion unit, the transport hoses and the applicators. All
of these are controlled from the front panel of the melter.
The first large group is the tank-distributor group. Combined to form a single
unit, they have separate controls even though their set point values are the
same. Therefore, when you program a set point value for the tank, for example
170°C, the distributor adopts this same value. If two pumps are installed, the
distributors occupy channels 1 and 2 with set point values and control that are
independent to the tank and to each other.
The second group is the hose group. They are identified on the front panel,
depending on the equipment model, by number, from No.1 to No.6 and by the
corresponding hose picture. Each one has its own set point value.
The third group is the applicator group. It is identified on the front panel,
depending on the equipment model, by number from No.1 to No.6 and by the
corresponding applicator picture. Each one has its own set point value.
The hose and applicator numbers are automatically assigned to the hose/
applicator channel they are connected to on the rear part of the melter.
