Calculating Melter Power Requirements

E 2020 Nordson Corporation
Before locating the melter on the production floor or attaching hoses and
applicators to the melter, you must calculate the electrical power required by
the hoses and applicators and confirm that the required power does not
exceed maximum allowable wattages. Properly calculating melter power
requirements will prevent damage to the melter and identify the maximum
allowable distance between the melter and the point at which the hot melt is
dispensed.
The following three maximum wattages must be considered when calculating
the power required by the hoses and applicators.
Single-component maximum—The wattage of any single hose or
S
applicator
Hose/applicator pair maximum—The wattage of any hose and
S
applicator (hose/applicator pair)
Hose/applicator module maximum—The wattage of any two hoses
S
and two applicators (two hose/applicator pairs)
If your Nordson representative has already calculated the hose/applicator
power requirements and confirmed that the maximum allowable wattages will
not be exceeded, then no further calculation is necessary. However, you
should re-evaluate the hose and applicator power requirements before you:
add a new hose or applicator to the melter that was not factored into
S
the original wattage evaluation
replace an existing hose with a longer hose or an existing applicator
S
with a larger applicator
