Automatic and Safe Filling of Hot Melt Equipment

Accidents at the workplace can have serious consequences, not only for the health of the affected employee, but also financially for the company. For this reason, “Safety First!” is an established term in the work environment. A protected and safe work environment must be established for the employees and measures implemented to prevent possible dangers.

Hot melt adhesive is used in the manufacturing process of diverse goods, either for the product itself, or later in the packaging. Hot melt adhesive application systems reach temperatures of up to 200 °C. For this reason, utmost care and respective protective clothing are required when filling the melter with adhesive in granular form.

When opening the tank, there is a risk of splashing of already melted adhesive and of burns on contact with hot components of the adhesive system. There is also a risk of contamination entering the tank and object falling into it causing the operator to reach into the hot tank reservoir. These safety risks can be avoided with an automatic filling system.

Safety First – Safe filling without risk of burns

Cost savings and increased line efficiency through maximum system availability

Time savings due to less refilling and reduced maintenance

Consistent adhesive strength due to constant adhesive temperature

No contamination of the melter due to clean and precise filling
