Hot Melt Adhesive Supply Hoses

Description: Hot melt adhesive supply hoses are electrically heated, flexible conduits designed for the transfer of hot-melt material from an adhesive supply unit (ASU) to an applicator (head or handgun). Hoses are heated by resistance heaters, which are wrapped around the hose core and covered with a high-temperature insulation. Hose temperature is regulated by the ASU's controller. A sensor located in the hose provides temperature information to the controller. Gemini Dynacontrol are 1000 PSI (69 bar) hoses used to deliver hot-melt material from a Dynamelt or Dynamini ASU to an ITW Dynatec applicator (either a dispensing head or a handheld applicator). These hoses provide through wiring for power, sensor and chassis ground in the applicator. All DynaControl hoses feature PT-111 RTD sensors. Gemini hoses are equipped with an extra heater and RTD sensor and a switch assembly, which allows the operator to switch the hose's operation between the two. This provides a backup to eliminate downtime and allows time to plan for eventual hose replacement. Gemini hoses are water-resistant, made so by their seamless flexible sleeving, sealed end cuffs and liquid-tight electrical conduit and fittings. HMA Systems offers these hot melt adhesive supply hoses.
