Hot Melt Glue System Installation Guide

Correct installation is the first step toward reliable glue application and stable production.

This guide covers the basic installation process of a hot melt glue system and helps technicians prepare the equipment for daily operation.

Step 1. Prepare the Required Tools

Before installation, prepare the following tools:

• Hexagonal tool kit

• Open-end wrenches (12 mm, 14 mm, 17 mm, 19 mm)

• Phillips screwdriver

• Adjustable wrench

Having the correct tools ready makes the installation faster and easier.

Step 2. Assemble the Controller Stand

Install the controller stand before mounting the equipment.

The process includes:

• Remove the transport screws.

• Position the controller bracket.

• Secure the bracket with the supplied bolts.

• Tighten all screws and check the stability.

A solid stand provides reliable support for the control system.

Step 3. Install the Hot Melt Melter

Mount the hot melt melter onto the stand and secure it in place.

Then:

• Adjust the installation position.

• Connect the heated hose.

• Tighten all hose fittings.

• Install the insulation cover.

• Check that every connection is secure.

The equipment is now ready for the next installation step.

Step 4. Install the Glue Applicator

Mount the glue applicator onto the machine.

After installation:

• Connect the air tubing.

• Adjust the applicator position.

• Set the nozzle height and angle.

• Check the distance between the nozzle and the product.

Proper adjustment helps achieve accurate and consistent glue application.

Step 5. Connect the Air System

Complete the pneumatic connections.

This includes:

• Connecting the glue gun air line.

• Installing the oil-water separator.

• Securing all air fittings.

• Checking for air leaks.

A clean and stable air supply improves system performance.

Step 6. Adjust the Pressure

Set the operating pressure before production.

Recommended settings:

• Glue pressure: approximately 0.2–0.3 MPa

• Air pressure: approximately 0.4–0.5 MPa

After adjustment, run several test cycles and fine-tune the settings if needed.

Final Inspection

Before starting production, check the following:

• Equipment is securely mounted.

• Heated hose is connected correctly.

• Air tubing is installed properly.

• Pressure settings are correct.

• Glue applicator position is accurate.

• All electrical and pneumatic connections are secure.

Once these checks are completed, the hot melt glue system is ready for production.
