Providing optimal operator safety is something that will remain of the utmost importance everyday.

By adding current technology and a few preventive care steps to your daily procedures, you can dramatically reduce the risk of burns and enhance the performance of your system and system operator.  You can get started with just three easy steps:

1. Always use gloves, long sleeves, and protective glasses during maintenance work.
2. Don't forget to remove all air pressure on the unit and to drain the glue from the guns before the replacement of any parts.
3. To avoid false firing of the glue heads, link your machine's safety network to the pattern control.

In addition to these three easy steps, improving your system line also plays an important role in improving your safety. The further integration of a vacuum feeder into your existing gluing system will prevent the operator from having to make contact with any of the hot melt adhesive. Modern gluing systems, like the new Melton® Kobra™ Series Systems, have been specifically created to offer an integrated vacuum feeder with a pressure discharge valve to ensure that your maintenance activities can be made without the added pressure. What is the continued result? You will achieve a statistical increase in reducing the risk of operator exposure to hot materials while also providing your company with greater productivity.
