Abstract:
A melter for preparing a molten medium, in particular for preparing a molten adhesive, has a melting tank that has a melting chamber for receiving and melting a medium to be melted. The melter has a heating device for heating the melting chamber. The melting chamber has an upper chamber section and a lower chamber section. The melting tank has a dispensing opening that can be fluidly connected to a delivery device for delivering the molten medium. The melting tank further has a drain opening. The dispensing opening and the drain opening open into the lower chamber section. The melter further has a closure body for closing the drain opening. In a closed position, the closure body closes the drain opening and an end section of the closure body projects into the lower chamber section.
Abstract:
A device for dispensing a flowable medium, includes a housing having a cavity for receiving the flowable medium, a rod mounted in a bearing section of the housing, wherein the rod is movable by means of an actuator between a first end position and a second end position in an axial direction, a dispensing opening, opening into the cavity, for dispensing the flowable medium, wherein the rod has a sealing section, wherein the sealing section closes the dispensing opening in the first end position and is arranged at a distance from the dispensing opening in the second end position, a bellows seal for sealing off the bearing section from the cavity, wherein the rod passes through the bellows seal, wherein the bellows seal is mounted in a sealed manner on the rod and in a sealed manner on the housing, wherein a first section of the bellows seal is connected to the rod in a manner fixed relative to the rod, and a second section of the bellows seal is connected to the housing in a manner fixed relative to the housing, wherein the bellows seal has at least one compensating section for compensating an axial compression or extension of the bellows seal, wherein the compensating section projects radially relative to adjoining regions of the bellows seal, and having at least one channel, opening into the cavity, through which the flowable medium can flow into the cavity, wherein a projection of a center line of a channel section of the at least one channel, said channel section opening into the cavity, onto a projection plane formed perpendicularly to the axial direction forms a circle tangent of a circle formed concentrically with the rod.
Abstract:
A delivery unit for dispensing adhesive having a housing, a melting apparatus arranged within the housing for melting the adhesive, a distributing device for dispensing molten adhesive in at least one line connectable to the distributing device, and a pump for conveying the molten adhesive through the distributing device, wherein the housing has a plurality of outer side faces, two of the outer side faces are of a flat configuration and arranged perpendicular to a support plane of the delivery unit on a base and substantially at a right angle to each other, and wherein the distributing device, in a region in which the line is connectable to a connector of the distributing device, has a boundary surface of a flat configuration. The two outer side faces are arranged at a distance apart with the boundary surface therebetween forming an obtuse angle with each of the two outer side faces.
Abstract:
A piston pump and a method for determining a volume Veff of a liquid medium delivered to a consumer by a double acting, pneumatically driven piston pump, wherein the piston pump is subject to leakage when a constant pressure is acting on a drive of the piston pump and at least one double stroke of a piston pump from one dead center position thereof to the other dead center position thereof and back to the first dead center position is carried out includes: a. without the piston pump being able to deliver the medium to the consumer, a leakage time tL auf for one stroke of the piston pump from the bottom dead center position thereof to the top dead center position thereof is measured, b. without the piston pump being able to deliver the medium to the consumer, a leakage time tL ab for one stroke of the piston pump from the top dead center position thereof to the bottom dead center position thereof is measured, c. a quotient of a volume of the medium Vauf theoretically delivered by the piston pump without leakage and of the leakage time tL auf is determined for the stroke of the piston pump from the bottom dead center position to the top dead center position, d. a quotient of a volume Vab theoretically delivered by the piston pump without leakage and of the leakage time tL ab is determined for the stroke of the piston pump from the top dead center position to the bottom dead center position, e. the time tauf for the stroke of the piston pump from the bottom dead center position to the top dead center position and the time tab for the stroke of the piston pump from the top dead center position to the bottom dead center position is measured as the medium is delivered to the consumer, f. the effectively delivered volume Veff is multiplied by the number of double strokes in accordance with V eff = ( V auf - V auf t L auf × t auf ) + ( V ab - V ab t L ab × t ab ) .
Abstract:
A device for melting adhesive having a melting grill that has a multiplicity of passage openings, and heating elements, wherein the melting grill is heatable by the heating elements and melted adhesive heated by the hot melting grill is dischargeable through the passage openings, the melting grill on that side thereof that faces the adhesive to be melted having ribs. The melting grill has rotatable rods that are disposed beside one another and ribs that are disposed on the rods, the rods and the ribs being heatable by the heating elements, wherein ribs of adjacent rods are aligned so as to be directed toward one another, and the passage cross sections of the passage openings between the rods are modifiable by rotating rods of the melting grill. The device enables varied forms of delivery of solid adhesive to be melted at a high specific melting rate without the adhesive thereby being subjected to damage due to excessive thermal stress.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a hand application device (1) having improved handling capability, in that its individual elements (2, 7, 12) are rotatable and adjustable to one another around four rotational axes (8, 10, 13, 28).
Abstract:
An application head for dispensing a flowable medium includes a nozzle chamber in the application head and a nozzle needle movably mounted in the nozzle chamber. A supply channel and a supply line introduce the medium into the nozzle chamber. A drive moves the movable element. A lever arm is movably fastened to the nozzle needle and connected to the drive. The lever arm extends through a membrane of a membrane suspension connect the lever arm movably to the application head and form a seal to prevent escape of the flowable medium. Alternatively, a rocker suspension has a lever arm connectable to the movable element and the drive, a plate element has an opening through which the lever arm extends, a rocker mounting device connects the lever arm movably to the application head and a sealing device prevents any escape of adhesive from the chamber through the plate element opening.
