- Typical melt tank capacity
- Units of this type commonly feature melt tank capacities ranging from 5 to 50 litres, depending on the model and intended throughput.
- Power supply
- Hot melt systems typically operate on 240V or 400V three-phase power, with heating elements requiring significant wattage, commonly in the range of 5kW to 15kW for industrial units.
- Number of hoses/guns
- This class of equipment often supports multiple heated hoses and application guns, typically from one to four, allowing for varied application points.
- Operating temperature range
- Hot melt systems generally operate with adhesives heated to temperatures between 100°C and 200°C, depending on the specific adhesive and application.
- Adhesive compatibility
- These pumps are typically designed for use with EVA, metallocene, and pressure-sensitive hot melt adhesives in pellet, pillow, or block form.
- Footprint
- A typical hot melt pump unit, excluding hoses and applicators, might have a footprint of approximately 600mm x 400mm x 800mm (HWD), though this varies by model.
