Connecting Hoses and Guns
AltaBlue melters use standard Nordson hoses and guns and support the
connection of up to four hose/gun pairs. The hose/gun capacity of each
melter is determined by the number of hose/gun receptacles on the melter.
Each hose/gun receptacle supports the connection of one hose/gun pair.
WARNING! Risk of fire or equipment damage. Before connecting hoses and
guns to the melter, confirm that the power required by the hoses and the
guns does not exceed the maximum wattages specified in Appendix A,
Calculating Melter Power Requirements.
To connect hoses
Observe the following guidelines:
For information about choosing the correct Nordson hot melt hose for
your manufacturing process, refer to the latest edition of Nordson's hot
melt dispensing equipment
Replacement Parts Catalog or contact your
Nordson representative.
Connect hoses to any of the hose ports provided on the manifold. The
melter is shipped with one hose fitting (capped) pre‐installed on the
manifold.
Use a 90‐degree fitting when connecting a hose to any of the bottom
hose ports or to the end hose port.
Refer to the user's guide provided with each Nordson hose. The guide
contains important information about routing and installing the hose.
Save all of the plugs that were removed from the hose ports. A plug will
need to be reinstalled into a hose port if a hose is later removed.
