Hot melt adhesive feeders automatically transfer hot melt adhesive from a bulk container to the adhesive supply unit increasing productivity and reducing equipment down time by keeping the adhesive supply unit full.

Auto Feeder utilizes an air venture-activated suction to pick up solid ‘chicklet’ or ball form of adhesive from a bulk container and convey it by air pressure to the hopper. When the sensor, which is mounted in the ASU’s hopper lid, signals a fill, the air venture and vibrator are activated. The solid adhesive is then blown from the bulk reservoir, through a clear plastic hose, and is deposited into the ASU’s hopper where the process of melting and conditioning takes place. A green light on the control box is also activated during the filling cycle and remains lit until the filling is complete.
