Vacuum conveyor 105110-01

Hot melt adhesives have increased production, reduced waste and costs, and improved product appearance throughout industry. Supplied in solid pellet form hot melts or glue chips are traditionally stored in small-capacity containers or cartons. For use in packaging or product assembly the pellets are manually emptied into a hopper directly above the melt tank or adhesive applicator. Operators, are exposed to fumes and splashes of hot molten glue. To eliminate manual pellet handling, Vac-U-Max has, developed a line of vacuum conveyors both air and electric operated which provide continuous direct, transfer of the pellets to the point of use. The conveying method eliminates adhesive spillage and waste, banishes empty pellet packaging from the production area, and creates a safer environment. It allows users to benefit from the cost effectiveness and strategic advantages related to storage and handling. Pneumatic Vacuum Conveying automatically draws the pellets from a storage container or carton at a predetermined controlled rate, (utilizing a vacuum powered source) and delivers them directly to the melt tank of each adhesive applicator, or to a central hopper serving multiple applicators. Pneumatic vacuum conveying of hot melt adhesive pellets from storage containers to point of use ensures: Automatic applicator tank refill Elimination of applicator burnouts due to lack of adhesive Convenience of remote storage Elimination of packaging debris entering melter Elimination of small-scale adhesive containers Protection of operators from exposure to hot molten adhesive Low initial cost Simple to install Space Saving
