Board Converting NEWS INTERNET DIRECTORY
Germany based Baumer hhs announced the expansion of its Xmelt product range for hot melt applications to include heated hoses with a metal core. The company says their service life is three times that of conventional plastic hoses and offering several advantages for hot melt applications. DF stands for “degradation-free” to emphasise that the new heated hoses eliminate the adhesive degradation caused by charring.

“The metal core significantly increases the reliability of production processes for hot melt applications because it prevents oxygen from diffusing into the hoses when they are heated for long periods, for instance when machine operators forget to switch off the melters over the week- end. A series of trials showed that after 50 hours at 180 degrees Celsius, hot melt adhesive remains unchanged and clear inside our DF hoses. The quality of the adhesive did not deteriorate at all even after such a long period. In other words, the metal core totally prevents charring of the adhesive inside the hoses,” said Thomas Walther, Head of Corporate Strategy & Innovation at Baumer hhs. The new DF hot melt hoses also eliminate the machine failures that occur when filters and nozzles get clogged with charred glue, Baumer says. Production lines with hot melt systems that have been switched over to these hoses boast higher availability, require less maintenance with 20 percent reduced energy consumption. The DF hoses with metal core were developed for Bau- mer hhs’s Xmelt product range, which is used in industri-
al applications worldwide to process and apply hot melt adhesives. Products range from energy-efficient hot melt units, heated hoses and appli- cation heads to a central ad- hesive supply system that can

Baumer hhs further offers versions of the new DF hot melt hoses that are compatible with various common hot melt systems from other suppliers. “The hoses currently used in these systems can be replaced with our new DF heated hoses, like a plug-and-play device,” says Walther.
