ITW Dynatec Introduces the Next Generation Dynamelt S Series; Hot Melt Adhesive Supply Unit Marks a Major Step Forward in Efficiency

    HENDERSONVILLE, TN, April 09, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Setting a new standard in hot melt application equipment, the improved next generation Dynamelt S adhesive supply unit from ITW Dynatec has been designed and engineered for use in the packaging industry.

In response to end-user feedback, the new Dynamelt S is enhanced with design and performance features that make it easier to maintain and service, more flexible to install, safer to operate and less costly to own.

Featuring the company's venerable Melt-on-Demand System, this new generation product represents a major step forward for the industry in terms of operating efficiency, long-term reliability and sustainability in adhesive supply units. Ideal for food, beverage and many other packaging applications, the Dynamelt S comes in a compact and flexible footprint for easy integration into OEM equipment and existing lines.

"Based on our field testing and feedback from customers, the new Dynamelt S sets a new standard in our industry," says Steve Shoup, Global Business Development Manager for Packaging. "It provides remarkable value to the customer in terms of uptime and operational savings."

Efficiency

- Built with sustainability and total cost of ownership in mind, the new Dynamelt S consumes 20% less energy on average than similar competitive units.
- An advanced piston pump design permits low-air pressure operation, resulting in a significant reduction in overall air consumption.
- Dynatec's patented Melt-on-Demand System has been enhanced with a precision heat control zone in the manifold block. The independently heated manifold optimizes energy efficiency while facilitating faster warm-up times.
- The corner-mounted hose manifold is covered in a heat insulating jacket, both for user safety and reduced energy consumption.
- The primary filter boasts 15 times more surface area to provide easier and safer filter changes (filter comes out with the filter nut), thus reducing downtime. The larger filtration surface lasts longer, requiring less frequent changes and maintenance.

Installation and Maintenance

- A brand-new feature in the latest generation Dynamelt S, advanced diagnostics (through a new ergonomic control panel) contribute to quicker troubleshooting and less downtime.
- The temperature sensors are easily accessible on the rear manifold of the machine, contributing to reduced maintenance.
- The new control panel can be positioned on the front, side or remotely away from the unit for easy viewing, and all system parameters can be viewed on one screen for quick evaluation.
- Nine corner-mounted manifold connections provide ultimate flexibility, ease of installation and saves on the length of hoses and power consumption.

Safety and Durability

- Instead of a PTFE coating that is commonly used in the industry, ITW Dynatec went to the armaments industry for a better solution - an exclusive Nano ceramic coating that is used on the inside of cannon barrels. This coating is five times more durable than PTFE and contains no PFOAs or flourachemicals.
- The Dynamelt S is finger safe to prevent electrical shocks to operator and maintenance personnel. A master power disconnect switch also contributes to safety and negates the need for an OEM to add a disconnect switch with separate lock-out.

"The next generation Dynamelt S marks a major step forward in our industry in terms of efficiency," Shoup said. "The feedback has been great so far, and we're looking forward to rolling this product out industry-wide."
