Automatic Hot Melt Tank Filling System (ATFS)

Product Details:

•  Automatic "On Demand" filling of the hot melt unit.
• Removes an operator from the hot melt supply unit area.
• Nozzle plugging and system contamination is virtually eliminated.
• Less thermal shock to the hot melt system.

Hot Melt Tanks require frequent adhesive re-filling. If the operator does not refill the hot melt supply unit often enough, there can be insufficient time to melt and condition the adhesive.  This results in equipment down time and employees waiting until the hopper temperature returns to setpoint. Installation of a Automatic Tank Filling System reduces all of the above problems. The result is lower repair costs and higher production rates. The ATFS utilizes an air venturi-activated suction to pick up the solid hot melt adhesive from a bulk container and convey it by air pressure to the hopper.

• Easily integrated into all Glue Machinery Corporation™ and competitive hot melt units.
• Minimizes adhesive contamination for increased uptime.
• On-Demand adhesive replenishment saves operator time and prevents thermal shock to the adhesive.
• Automatically feeds hot melt units up to 20 feet vertically and 100 feet horizontally.
