Hot Melt Applicators

Hot melt applicator is used for the application of adhesives and thermoplastic materials. Most of the industrial hot melt applicators possess tank capacity of 5 kg to 100 kg to cater to all types of applications. They have built-in microprocessor-based system with unique features. They are provided with various modules and combinations of guns. They have coating heads for uniform adhesive coating.

The hot melt applicators are used in a number of industrial applications, including the filter machine manufacturing industry. They are used for pleat edge sealing of various filter media. Thus they constitute an important portion in this industry.

The programming and operation of the hot-melt applicators are easy, precise and user friendly. The technological use has been upgraded continuously in the working of the hot melt applicators. It has been used to construct the electronic card in order to ensure a reliable and lasting performance. Some of their common features are:

• Setting of parameters is simple and manageable.
  
  
• Efficient pump system for a continuous steady flow of adhesive
  
  
• No nozzle clogging
  
  
• It can be integrated in various positions to the parent machine

What is Hot Melt?
Hot melts are adhesive, which are used for binding, seaming or other similar processes. They require heat for application. They are generally made from thermoplastic polymers and plastics. Though they are solid in state but may be melted by heat. On heating they produce a molten skin that is layered over the entire surface area of any material. As they cool, they create increased stiffness for added power.

Hot melts do not contain water or any solvent, and is used such that it is melted by application of heat. It is applied onto an object surface, and is then cooled to room temperature to be solidified. Hot melt can be applied by extrusion, spraying, a roll coater, dipping.
