Baumer hhs Ensures High Availability

Press release from the issuing company

In focus of the Baumer hhs presentation (hall 22, standC18) you will find the newly developed bag melter for PUR adhesives from 20kg packages. Applications in wood and furniture industries for PUR adhesives range from edge gluing to production of prefinished hardwood floor and inlay production.Wherever great strength and resistance of the adhesive to heat,frost and humidity are required.

Effective and resource-saving work with PUR adhesives requires a continuous production process without interruptions,minimum cleaning time and long-term maintenance intervals:Features of the all-new XBM bag melters. It thus sets a new standard of quality in sustainable and economic production.

The construction of the bag melter allows for this reason,a full discharge and a long shelf life of the opened foil. The content of the bag is used up entirely, expensive residues do not remain. Premature hardening of the polyurethane adhesive and oxidation are prevented by the airtight sealing of the atmospheric air in connection with special pressing cycles.

It is easy to clean the bag melter. The high quality non-stick coating of adhesive-carrying parts of the bag melter ensures quick and easy cleaning. The tank cap can be removed without tools; all parts to be cleaned are reached by the operator without difficulty. The short easy cleaning cycle increases the productivity of the machine.

The bag can be changed during the current production. The gentle, yet rapid melting ensures a quick start without a long wait. Brought to perfection, the tank allows an optimized melting of the adhesive and easy cleaning. Only the required amount of adhesive is melted. The effective insulation of the tank completes energy saving of the XBM. Powerful gear pumps transfer the adhesive. To adjust the flow rate they can be replaced in a few simple steps even with completely filled tank.
