VersaBlue® Plus Melters
VersaBlue Plus melters offer additional optional functionality to enhance production efficiency and product quality. Graphical touch-screen interface; easy access tank and entry panels; and quick connections help VersaBlue Plus melters simplify installation, operation and maintenance.
Overview
The “Plus” options include melter-integrated:
•Flow monitoring and closed-loop control
•Closed-loop pattern control
•Module response monitoring
Plus Benefits with IPC control:
•Automatic adjustment of material flow and pattern to meet requirements.
•Easy system integration using TruFlow™ applicators and dividers, and/or OptiStroke™ needle stroke detection.
•Basic monitoring and reporting on melter display; more detailed information can be exported to a laptop or via fieldbus.
•Optimized hydraulic section for improved response; automated pressure relief at machine stop.
•Integrated control of external metering devices.
