INSTALLATION
3-3
MA-5079-ENG MICRON GEAR ADHESIVE MELTER
Compressed air
As an option, a pneumatically activated by-pass valve or an air drying system
may be installed. If these are added to the system, a dry, unlubricated
compressed air network must be available, with a maximum pressure of 6 bar.
The by-pass valve consumes next to no air, given that this is a pressurized
closed circuit. In the case of the air dryer, this depends on the frequency of
application, and therefore consumption must be estimated for each case.
Other factors
While installing these melters, other practical considerations should be kept
in mind:
• Keep the load opening accessible for comfortable melter filling.
• Position the melter equipment in such a way that you can easily see the
front panel display where temperatures and possible alarm signals are
shown.
• As much as possible, try to avoid unnecessarily long hoses that result
in elevated electrical energy consumption levels and pressure drops.
• Do not install the melter equipment beside powerful heat or cooling
sources that may have distortional effects upon its operation.
• Avoid melter vibrations.
• Make sure that the melter maintenance areas (filter, purging valve,
tank interior, etc.) are easily accessible.
Unpacking
Before proceeding with the installation of the melter, it should be removed
from its location on a pallet and examined in order to detect any possible
breakage or deterioration. Communicate any defect, even to the outer packing
materials, to your Meler Representative or to the Main Office.
