Abstract:
An apparatus for melting and dispensing thermoplastic materials such as thermoplastic adhesives referred to as âhot meltâ adhesives. More specifically, a one-piece melter tank is suspended from the top of a chassis which also serves as the housing for the entire assembly of the melting and dispensing apparatus.

Abstract:
A dispensing unit for a hot melt adhesive system has a manifold centrally located within the dispensing unit to permit commonality between heated hoses of substantially the same length used to supply adhesive guns at either side of the dispensing unit. The dispensing unit also includes a manifold that is thermally isolated from the adhesive tank. The manifold has a heater that is independent of the tank heater for more precise temperature control of adhesive flowing through the manifold. A pump coupled to the manifold is located external to the tank and is heated by the manifold heater.

Abstract:
Apparatus for dispensing a liquid includes a manifold having a high pressure passageway adapted to be coupled to a source of the liquid and to deliver the liquid at an elevated pressure to a dispenser. The manifold further includes a low pressure passageway for exhausting pressurized liquid from the high pressure passageway. A pressure relief valve is coupled between the high pressure passageway and the low pressure passageway. The pressure relief valve has a valve member mounted for movement relative to a valve seat. One side of the valve seat defines a high pressure side in communication with the high pressure passageway and another side of the valve seat defines a low pressure side in communication with the low pressure passageway. A dynamic seal engages the valve member on the low pressure side and prevents leakage of the liquid from the low pressure side.
Apparatus And Method For Melting And Supplying Thermoplastic Material To A Dispenser
An apparatus including a tank having at least one side wall for receiving solid or semi-solid thermoplastic material and a base member supporting the side wall(s) for heating and melting the thermoplastic material. The base member has a heated upper surface sloped downwardly towards the side wall(s) for directing the flow of melted material, and is configured to provide a collection trough for receiving the melted material. A strainer is positioned above the collection trough to filter the melted material. The strainer is adapted to support the remaining solid or partially solidified thermoplastic material above a portion of the heated upper surface to provide a less restricted flow path for the melted material to the collection trough.
Pump With Integral Filter For A Hot Melt Adhesive System
An pump for use with a dispensing unit of a hot melt adhesive system includes a removable filter. The filter is coupled with a cartridge which is threaded into a chamber of the pump. The chamber is located between the inlet and outlet of the pump so that this portion of the flow path through the pump ensures passage of the hot melt adhesive through the removable filter. The pump provides convenient access to the filter for service and replacement.
Strainer And Level Indicator For A Hot Melt Adhesive System
A strainer for a hot melt adhesive system is fixed to the side wall(s) of a tank without fasteners to strain the adhesive flow and protect a pump of the system. The strainer may also be configured to act as a shield for a level indicator located within the tank.
