Gemini™ Hot Melt Adhesive Hose

The Gemini™ Automatic Hot Melt Hose prevents hot melt line downtime by utilizing dual circuitry which activates in the event of a temperature sensor or heater element fault or failure.  A set of LED lights illuminate to let the operator know that the switch has been made, saving time and money.  Gemini™ hot melt hoses are available in automatic, manual, Slautterback®, and Nordson® configurations.

Overview

Gemini Features:

• Gemini Manual Version:  Back-up heater and temperature sensor are activated by manually activating the secondary circuitry.
• Gemini Automatic Version:  Back-up heater and temperature sensor are automatically activated in the event of a fault.
• Gemini Automatic incorporates a flashing illuminated control box which activates should a fault occur.
• Heater watt-density is hose length optimized, virtually eliminating adhesive char.
• Competitive hose configurations are available and 100% compatible.

Gemini Benefits:

• Reduced downtime by activating secondary circuits which keeps your production line up and running until scheduled downtime.
• Extended hose life over conventional, single-strand hoses.
• Simplified preventative maintenance; Gemini automatic illuminates when it detects a hose fault and allows facilitates hose changeover during scheduled maintenance.

The Dynatec Difference

 
Reliability

 
The Gemini™ hot melt adhesive hose puts a stop to costly production line downtime due to hot melt hose system failures and simplifies preventative maintenance.  Competitive hose configurations consist of single-strand construction and when a hose fault occurs, the result is line-down until the hose is changed out.  Gemini hoses have dual temperature sensors and heater wires.

Should a fault occur, the Gemini hose switches to the bakcup circuitry thus minimizing or entirely preventing down-time.

• Simplified preventative maintenance.
• Reduced hose downtime.
• Extended hose life.
