RAY-MELTER 200 HIGH FUSION

Maximum melting capacity for maximum requirements

Normal hot melters are generally not sufficient for the industrial foil lamination of large-format workpieces, such as furniture panels or floor panels. The amount of adhesive required is far higher than the usual market quantity for most hot glue melters. However, WPR has developed a drum melter precisely for such high-performance productions which, thanks to its ribbed melting plate, achieves a melting rate of 90kg per hour, depending on the PUR adhesive used.

The RAY-MELTER 200 High Fusion is a bulk melter from the family of drum melters in which 200kg glue drums are processed. The great advantage of drum melters is that the adhesive is only melted on the contact surface with the lowered melting platen. The remaining adhesive in the drum is therefore not exposed to thermal stress and retains its characteristic adhesive properties. This also allows longer work breaks and idle times of the drum in the melter without having to drain the adhesive.

What applications is the RAY-MELTER 200 HF drum melter suitable for?

The RAY-MELTER 200 High Fusion is used in large-scale industrial production. It is specially designed for the use of reactive polyurethane hot melt adhesives and works in production lines on which large-format workpieces are processed. These include, among others:

• Large-scale foil lamination of panels and boards
  Large-format boards made of wood and wood-based materials are laminated with decorative foils to enhance their appearance. They are usually further processed into wall panelling, furniture components, door panels and other interior design elements. The adhesive is applied on this type of system either by a slot nozzle glue head or roller coater application.
• Production of composite panels
  Here, different layers, sometimes made of different materials, are bonded together to form a multi-layer panel. The adhesive is applied over a large area using rollers and then the next layer is pressed into place. This process is repeated depending on the number of layers. Sandwich panels are also produced in a similar way. They usually contain a panel core with a honeycomb structure or foamed material to reduce the weight of the panels and improve thermal and sound insulation.
• Coating of floor panels
  Floors such as LVT floors or modern hybrid or design floors based on wood are also manufactured on wide industrial lines, whereby the individual layers are bonded together with hot-melt adhesives. This is usually done by roller application, but sometimes also by slot nozzle application.
  In all these cases, it is important to supply the wide foil lamination machines with sufficient pre-melted adhesive in order to be able to process the large-format workpieces at efficient working speeds. This is the ideal application for the RAY-MELTER 200 High Fusion drum melter, which is designed precisely for such industrial production with high glue consumption.

Complex melting systems for high-performance production

To ensure continuous production, the drum melter often works in tandem with another melter so that when one drum runs out of glue, the second melter takes over and the 200 kg glue drum can be changed.

If the volume of glue is particularly high or if two machines are supplied by a single bulk melter, the appliance can be equipped with two glue pumps and glue hoses that are controlled separately and independently.

If glue consumption is particularly high, the drum melters can also work in battery mode, i.e. more than two melters supply a central tank melter together or alternately, which acts as a buffer to supply the system with the required adhesive.

WPR has extensive experience in the design of foiling machines with large application widths and can supply you not only with the machine, but also with the adhesive system customised to your specific requirements.

Innovative technology for efficient adhesive melting

The RAY-MELTER series impresses with a highly developed control system that makes the entire melting process precise and convenient. All process temperatures and parameters can be controlled centrally via a modern touch control panel with an intuitive user interface – simple and user-friendly.

Thanks to the intelligent temperature control, the heat is precisely monitored in all relevant zones – from the melter to the adhesive hose to the slot nozzle glue head. A powerful CPU coordinates all internal processes, including warning messages and safety functions, and provides the operator with valuable support.

The programmable daily and weekly timers, which enable automatic preheating and switch-off, provide additional convenience. This means that the appliance is always ready for use as soon as production starts. Eco mode reduces the temperature in the melter to around 80°C, minimising the thermal load on the adhesive during work breaks – for example during changeovers. This saves energy and extends the service life of the materials.

Familiar WPR quality down to the last detail

As with all systems, WPR places particular emphasis on quality in the details, which not only guarantees safe and reliable operation, but also a long service life for the melter.

This includes the technical design for easy maintenance and cleaning. For example, the melting plate is covered with a non-stick coating so that even reactive adhesives do not stick to it and possibly carbonise. A pressure control valve is also integrated into the melting plate, allowing pressure equalisation in the drum and simplifying the insertion and removal of the plate when changing drums.

WPR’s unique spare parts service is particularly important. All essential spare parts for the RAY-MELTER series drum melters are in stock at WPR and can be delivered in the shortest possible time.
