Connecting Hoses and Guns
ProBlue melters use standard Nordson hoses and guns. The P4 and P7
melters support the connection of up to four hose/gun pairs. The P10 melter
supports the connection of up to six hose/gun pairs.
The hose/gun capacity of each melter is determined by the number of
hose/gun modules installed on the melter. Each hose/gun module supports
the connection of two hose/gun pairs. The hose/gun capacity of melters that
were ordered with less than their full hose/gun capacity can be increased by
adding additional hose/gun modules. Unused hose/gun module positions are
covered by blank modules.
WARNING! Risk of fire or equipment damage. Before connecting hoses and
guns to the melter, confirm that the power required by each hose/gun pair
and each hose/gun module, does not exceed the maximum wattages
specified in Appendix A, Table A‐2,
Maximum Allowable Wattages .
To connect hoses
See Figure 3‐8.
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.
Refer to the user's guide provided with each Nordson hose. The guide
contains important information about routing and installing the hose.
Always use hose port 1 first. The position of port 1 is stamped on the face
of the manifold. The P4 and P7 melters provide four hose ports on the
face of the manifold and a fifth hose port at the bottom of the manifold.
The P10 melter provides nine ports, six of which can be used at any one
time.
If you install an additional hose/gun module, you must restart the melter
and enter a set‐point temperature for each hose/gun that you connect to
the new module in order for the new hoses/guns to be recognized.
