Minimising Downtime and helping reduce maintenance costs of your Hot Melt Equipment

Proper care and maintenance of your hot melt adhesive system enables you to achieve optimum performance and to help extend the life of your system for the coming years. HME offer the best hotmelt adhesives and maintenance packages in Ireland. Below are some of the ways to keep your machine running hassle free.

The majority of issues that our technicians discover while servicing hot melt equipment throughout Ireland is, caused by lack of maintenance or misuse of the machinery by the operator. The single biggest factor is leaving the machine on at full temperature when not in use. This over cooks the adhesive forming char (burnt glue) in the system. The first sign of char formation is visible on the inside of the lid of the machine most people ignore this until the glue nozzles start blocking.

The best solution to this is avoidance! With correct training of staff and awareness of these issues. Coupled with proper preventative maintenance your machine will continue to run and help extend its life for years to come.
