Product Description See Figure 2-1. Nordson PURBlue 4 adhesive melters are used in conjunction with Nordson hot melt hoses and guns to create a hot melt application system. The melter liquifies solid-form hot melt in foil bags and maintains the hot melt at the desired temperature.
(EVA), and polyolefine (PO) adhesives, that are engineered to be liquified and extruded at temperatures at or below 125 _C (257 _F) Be used with compatible hot melt hoses and guns that are manufactured by Nordson Corporation Be used in non-explosive environments Limitations of Use Use PURBlue 4 melters only for the purpose for which they are designed.
Melter Faults in Section 6, Troubleshooting. Manual and gear-to-line—The melter allows you to manually set the adhesive output rate or the melter can automatically adjust the adhesive output based on production requirements. Part 1107607A E 2011 Nordson Corporation...
PCV is set to maximum and the entire output of the pump is delivered through the applicator. This allows for consistent, metered adhesive application because the hydraulic pressure is consistent in both the applicator-open and applicator-closed states. Part 1107607A E 2011 Nordson Corporation...
