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 machine or injury and even
death to the person using it.
General information
The melter has two heating zones: the premelter grid, main device for melting
the adhesive, and the small tank that is located between the grid and the
discharge valve.
Both zones are controlled from the front panel of the melter.
Loading the adhesive into the cylindrical hopper
The unit is equipped with a sensor that gives a warning via the button indica-
tor (or the tower light if it is connected) when the block has been consumed
(amber light).
To fill the cylindrical hopper for the first time or reload the adhesive block:
1. If the cylinder is not in the upper position, push the switch upwards to
raise the cylinder (1).
2. Release the retractable positioner (2) and release the unit from the
support plate along with the cylinder and pusher disk (3).
3. Once the melter is reloaded, reposition the unit in the support plate
along with the cylinder and pusher disk (4) using the retractable
positioner (5) and move the switch downwards to lower the cylinder (6).
If the block is going to be used with its protective bag, open its upper part via
the indicated marking, leaving approximately 1 cm of the bag inside and insert
the block into the cylindrical hopper with the cut part facing downwards.
Warning
:
There is a risk of burns or particle projection. Use thermal
protective gear and goggles.
