Hot Melt Dispensing Equipment
Hot Melt dispensing equipment is a type of machinery used in manufacturing and production processes that dispenses Hot Melt adhesives onto surfaces. Hot Melt adhesives are thermoplastic materials that become liquid when heated and solidify when cooled, forming a strong bond.
Hot Melt dispensing equipment is used in various industries, such as packaging, woodworking, automotive, and textiles. The equipment typically consists of a heated reservoir or tank that melts the adhesive, a dispensing mechanism, and a control system that regulates the temperature and flow of the adhesive. The dispensing mechanism may be a hand-held gun or a machine-mounted applicator that dispenses the adhesive in a controlled manner onto the desired surface.
The Hot Melt dispensing equipment is designed to provide the consistent and precise application of Hot Melt adhesives, improving production efficiency, reducing waste, and ensuring quality control. Some common types of Hot Melt dispensing equipment include Hot Melt glue guns, automatic Hot Melt dispensing machines, and Hot Melt glue nozzles.

Why Therm-O-Flow?
Improve process efficiency
- Automatic electric crossover eliminates downtime with
tandem units – you keep production running while you
change drums or pails - Sensors signal when drums are low or empty,
and more material is needed - Pump throat seals and plate seals are the only wear
components on Therm-O-Flow and can be changed
in less than one hour - New packing and pump rod designs extend the
maintenance cycle at least seven times - Heated platens have cast-in heaters which never need
to be replaced - Material totalizers simplify preventive maintenance
scheduling
Improve production capacity
- Patented Mega-FloTM Platen offers greater throughput while reducing material waste compared to a standard finned platen
- Eliminates need for lengthy oven melting of solid or high viscosity resins — melts resins on demand, only what you need
- Automatic daily start up without delay — Therm-O-Flow is ready when the shift starts
- Use downloadable operating data to monitor and control your process, reducing unplanned downtime and increasing process efficiency
Reduce energy costs
- Temperature setback conserves energy during production breaks and prevents material charring
- Inactivity shut off saves energy costs, promotes safety and prevents material charring
Support environmental initiatives
- Built-in runaway control automatically shuts down supply system in event of component failure or empty drum
- The quiet, low-noise NXT Air Motor operates around 87 decibels
Tank-FreeTM Hot Melt Delivery system
For Case and Carton Packaging
Confidence is a reliable seal.
Pop-opens, clogged nozzles, unplanned downtime, increasing adhesive costs. If you’re using tank-based hot melt delivery systems for your case & carton packaging line, it’s likely that you’ve lost productivity – and a good amount of sleep – from these common problems.
At Graco, we understand that continued downtime, or the smallest defect in a case or carton sealing application can result in added costs or returned goods – leading to significant loss in profit. However, our experience of developing fluid dispense systems over the last 90 years has enabled us to create the most reliable hot melt glue systems available today, which ensure that you have consistent sealing and more uptime – thus protecting your bottom line.
Make more.
Eliminate Downtime
- No char, no nozzle plugs
- No more time-consuming, tank-scraping product maintenance
Parts Last Longer
- Less plastic and built to last
- 10+ years pump lifetime
- 500 million+ gun cycles
Improved Operator Safety
- Design eliminates burn hazard risks and keeps employees safe
The most reliable, most profitable
Hot Melt system
