Cleaning the tank
Both the cylindrical hopper and hot-melt tank will need cleaning occasionally
to maintain their melting and anti-adherence propertie. The tank is covered on
the inside with PTFE and inclined enough to aid unloading the hot-melt and to
avoid it from being retained inside when consequential burning occurs.
Also, when adhesives are mixed, reactions may occur between them, causing
degeneration and problems unloading to the pump.
Therefore, it is recommended to clean the deposit every time that:
• A change is made to a different type of hot-melt.
• Too much burnt material is generated in its interior.
