Efficient adhesive supply with the granulate conveyor: How to optimise your production:
In modern production processes, a continuous and reliable supply of hot-melt adhesives is essential. However, manual refilling can be time-consuming and carries risks. This is where the granulate conveyor comes into play, which automates the transport of adhesive and thus ensures greater efficiency and safety.
How does the granulate conveyor work?
Der Granulatförderer nutzt den Venturi-Effekt, ein physikalisches Prinzip, bei dem die Strömungsgeschwindigkeit eines Gases oder einer The granulate conveyor uses the Venturi effect, a physical principle in which the flow rate of a gas or liquid is increased by a constriction, thereby reducing the static pressure. In our system, this principle is applied as follows:
- Compressed air supply: Compressed air is fed through a specially designed nozzle.
- Negative pressure is created: The constriction in the nozzle increases the air speed and reduces the static pressure.
- Granules are sucked in: The resulting negative pressure draws the adhesive granules into the air stream.
- Transport to the melting device: The granules are transported through pipes directly into the melting tank.
Our new video shows clearly how a granulate conveyor functions:
This process enables gentle and efficient transport of the adhesive without moving parts, which reduces maintenance costs and increases operational reliability.
Overview of the advantages of the granulate conveyor
- Automated filling: No more manual filling is required, which saves working time and increases process reliability.
- Constant adhesive quality: Continuous filling minimises temperature fluctuations in the melting tank, which maintains the quality of the adhesive.
- Increased work safety: Personnel does not come into contact with hot surfaces, thus reducing the risk of injury.
- Clean working environment: Closed systems prevent dust and dirt from penetrating the adhesive, which extends the service life of the equipment.
Integration into existing systems
Our granulate conveyors are compatible with all BÜHNEN melting devices and can be easily integrated into existing production lines. They are flexible in use and can be adapted as required. Even older systems can be retrofitted with a granulate conveyor using a retrofit kit.
Conclusion
The use of a granulate conveyor not only optimises the production process, but also makes a significant contribution to quality assurance and occupational safety. With our easy4you concept, a new granulate conveyor can also be installed in your production facility without any investment costs. Our sales agents service will be happy to advise you on this!
