Connecting the Hoses

E 2020 Nordson Corporation
ProBlue Flex adhesive melters use standard Nordson hoses and applicators.
The melters support the connection of up to six hose/applicator pairs.
The hose/applicator capacity of each melter is determined by the number of
hose/applicator modules installed on the melter. Each hose/applicator
module supports the connection of two hose/applicator pairs. The
hose/applicator capacity of melters that were ordered with less than their full
hose/applicator capacity can be increased by adding additional
hose/applicator modules. Unused hose/applicator module positions are
covered by blank modules.
WARNING! Risk of fire or equipment damage. Before connecting hoses and
applicators to the melter, confirm that the power required by each
hose/applicator pair and each hose/applicator module does not exceed the
maximum wattages specified in Table A-2, Maximum Allowable Wattages in
Calculating Melter Power Requirements (Appendix A).
See Figures 3-15 and 3-16.
Observe the following guidelines:
