Hot Glue Systems
Meltpro Hot Gluing System
Our Meltpro hot gluing system products are a direct replacement for other leading brands, our nozzles and hoses will fit to most designs. In addition to the superior quality and cost effective design features, other benefits include:
Mercury Filter
Meltpro also offer the Mercury filter and the advantages will totally revolutionize the industry standard because the filter screen can be replaced inline in seconds by unscrewing the filter screen and replacing it with a new one. Unlike the old-style filter assembly, which had to be loosened at the fittings between the hose and head in order to change the screen. The Mercury assembly stays locked in place, and the screen is simply replaced from the top.
Benefits:
- Filter fitting can be changed from straight to 45 or 90°.
- Unique overall slim design and versatility allows any configuration to adapt to all hot melt heads.
- Filter can be utilized at the tank manifold to filter adhesive directly from tank.
- Filter can adapt to an O-ring or a "NPT" female thread.
- Fits: Nordson, ITW/LTI, Slautterback, Robotech, etc.
- A coloured disk located on top of filter plug assembly identifies the filter screen.
- Colour coded mesh sizes: 50-mesh red, 100-mesh gold, 200-mesh purple disk.
- No more 2-parts disassembled causing severe burns from old type inline filter assembly.
- Unscrew top filter plug and screw in new one (1 minute change time).
- Filter screen assemblies come in packages of two or five.
- Filter screen & basket is replaceable verses replacing Nordson'sŪ complete assembly.

Hot Melt Glue Conversion
Central Bottling International have also developed in conjunction with ASI Meltpro of America a hot melt glue conversion to replace the existing hotmelt pots on the wrap, around labellers. The main advantages being:
- Reduced changeover time, by eliminating the need to change the glue rollers and scraper systems which are specific for each label size.
- Reduced operator risk to being burnt by the hotmelt change parts.
- Reduction in glue usage.
- Longer term saving in overhaul and repair of hotmelt glue systems.
- The glue hoses and modules are individually controlled and therefore and are only used when required which gives a lower risk of carbonization, lower power usage and increased life expectancy of the components.
The system comprises of a heated glue reservoir which has a series of hoses leading to a unique designed application head that can alternate to any number of modules used to cover a variety of label sizes from 15 to 250 mm depth.
This is achievable thanks to the special design swivel head produced by Meltpro allowing two nozzles on a fixed head up to 30 degrees of rotation.
The glue application heads are mounted directly onto the existing pickup and overlap carriages thus maintaining full flexibility for container change over, the only change part being the magazine. Through the use of gear driven encoder mounted underneath the labeller to alleviate the chance of slippage at high speed. The glue is fired onto the container, the container then rolls onto the label picking it from the label magazine, as the label is drawn from the magazine, glue is then applied to the overlap of the label by a specially designed adjustable slot gun.
The result being a very well dressed container. |
