Mounting the Melter
ProBlue melters use a unique mounting sub‐base that allows the melter to be
easily mounted onto and removed from the parent machine or support
structure, without the need to unbolt the melter.
Before mounting the melter, ensure that the parent machine or support
structure is level with respect to the floor, provides an even mounting surface,
is free of excessive vibration, and that it is capable of supporting the
combined weight of the melter, a full tank of hot melt, and the hoses and
guns.
Refer to Section 8, Technical Data , for the dimensions of the sub‐base and
the weight of the melter. Refer to the technical data provided by the hot melt
manufacturer for information about the volumetric weight of the hot melt.
To mount the melter
See Figure 3‐4.
1. Remove the PG‐21 conduit knockout from the sub‐base. See Figure 8‐4
for the location of the conduit knockout.
2. Lay out the sub‐base bolt pattern on the parent machine or support
structure and then drill/tap holes for four 8 mm (
5
/
16
in.) mounting bolts
(customer‐supplied).
NOTE: The mounting sub‐base has the same bolt‐mounting pattern as
Nordson's 3100V and 3400V melters.
3. Bolt the sub‐base to the parent machine using four 8‐mm (
5
/
16
in.)
machine bolts with locking hardware.
