Hot Melt Tank Refilling Attaining the perfect case and carton seal is a balance of the right hot melt packaging adhesive, the ideal operating parameters and a consistent adhesive pattern. Food and beverage manufacturers rely on hot melt packaging adhesives to assure a strong seal for their products. Unplanned downtime on a packaging line can be significantly reduced when hot melt tanks are filled consistently. Establishing a routine for filling hot melt tanks will keep the packaging adhesive temperature consistent and prevent char formation, which can lead to plugged filters and nozzles. Issues can arise when a hot melt adhesive tank is: Filled inconsistently – results in variable adhesive application temperature and pattern Filled below a certain level – known as underfilling, results in overheating the adhesives and char formation Filled over a certain level – known as overfilling, increases the potential for dead spots and adhesive waste Read More
