INSTALLATION MA-5147-ENG MICRON NON STOP ADHESIVE MELTER 3. INSTALLATION Warning: The melters are equipment with current technology and with certain foreseeable risks. Therefore, only allow qualified personnel with enough training and experience to use, install or repair this equipment. Introduction The melters of this serie are delivered with all the materials necessary for their installation.
FOCKE MELER GLUING SOLUTIONS INSTALLATION To calculate the space necessary to install the equipment in terms of its length, you must add at least 280 mm to the measurements indicated in the table in order to be able to open the distributor’s purger access door and release the pusher cylinder.
MA-5147-ENG MICRON NON STOP ADHESIVE MELTER Compressed air The installation of melters Micron Non Stop requires a non-lubricated compressed air dryer system with a maximum pressure of 6 bar to supply the pusher disk cylinder and the pneumatic bypass valve.
Slide the unit to its final position. Lock the wheels once again, lowering the levers. Electrical power connection Micron Non Stop melters are designed to be connected to the electrical power supply with 3-phases 400 VAC with neutral. A good ground connection is required always.
Focke Meler hoses and applicators may be connected to this equipment. Up to four hose-applicator outputs may be connected. Micron Non Stop melters are equipped with a simple or double hydraulic distributor with four posibilities of hydraulic connection. The outputs are not numered so the hoses can be connected to the distributor in any order.
Once the melter and its components are installed, you will need to program the operational parameters appropriate for the specific application that will be performed. Micron Non Stop simplify this task as much as possible, allowing the operator to modify only those parameters that are necessarily variable for each application.

FOCKE MELER GLUING SOLUTIONS MAINTENANCE To carry out external cleaning: • Use cleaning products compatible with polyamide materials. • Apply the cleaning product with a soft cloth. • Do not use sharp tools or scrapers with sharp edges. Removing and changing exterior panels: 1.
MICRON NON STOP ADHESIVE MELTER System depressurisation The Micron Non Stop melter is a pressurised application system with the corresponding risks that such a system entails. This equipment includes a safety valve (bypass valve) which limits the maximum pressure in the system, particularly during continuous pumping with closed application applicators.
FOCKE MELER GLUING SOLUTIONS MAINTENANCE Cleaning the tank Both the cylindrical hopper and hot-melt tank will need cleaning occasionally to maintain their melting and anti-adherence properties. The tank interior is covered in PTFE and sufficiently slanted to help the unloading of the hot-melt adhesive and prevent it from remaining inside which would result in burning.
1. Add cleaner adhesive on the grill cover and wait to melt it, without pressing cylinder. Warning: The Micron Non Stop is ready to melt the adhesive blocks, so if the pellets are poured into he grill and press with the cylinder, probably the adhesive cleaner go out from the sides and as a consequence on the top (see the picture).
Before making any changes, establish the location of the leak. However, before replacing any parts and in case of any doubt, we recommend that you consult the Focke Meler Technical Service Centre. Warning: Always wear protective gloves and goggles. Risk of burns.
MAINTENANCE MA-5147-ENG MICRON NON STOP ADHESIVE MELTER Gear motor maintenance Cleaning the motor fan Periodically inspect the condition of the motor fan and its vent screen. If dust has accumulated, blow gently with air to clean it (remove the protective cover, if necessary).
