LC Series – Higher Volume Adhesive Supply Tank
Large capacity Hot Melt Adhesive Supply
Hot Melt Adhesive supply unit (ASU) is dictated by two key factors: melt rate and pump rate. ITW Dynatec has focussed on both of these factors when developing the Dynamelt LC series, resulting in a hot melt adhesive supply unit capable of consistently reliable output. The LC series ASU is a large capacity adhesive supply tank with a sophisticated ‘multiple stage’ melt-on-demand system.
Largest internal surface area of any melter in its class.
Consistent high-volume hot melt adhesive output is dictated by two factors: the amount surface area within the tank and the wattage of the melter. The ITW Dynatec LC Series has a larger internal surface area in relation to wattage than any other melter of this size and class.
Efficient melting for reduced waste.
Unlike some competitive equipment the LG Series only melts the amount of adhesive required for the job in hand. ITW Dynatec’s patented melt-on-demand system uses multiple vertical unheated hoppers, these hoppers only melt the adhesive needed for your application. By ensuring un-needed adhesive is kept at a lower temperature (sometimes even solid) the LG Series greatly reduces waste while ensuring that your application has the adhesive it needs, when it needs it. By only melting the adhesive you require the LG Series can start work fast, with precisely controlled viscosity, lower energy usage and reduced fumes.
The Dynamelt™ LC Series key features:
- Multiple temperature control zones
- Anodized hopper, impregnated with Teflon
- Superior melt rate facilitated by multiple melter grid rows
- Maximum pump output rate of 900kg per hour
- Allen-Bradley controls
- Variable pump sizes
- Optional 7-day scheduler
GC Series – Highest Volume Adhesive Supply Tank
The Dynamelt™ GC Series (3160) adhesive supply unit is the largest capacity melter in the ITW Dynatec family, offering maximum adhesive output.
Managed by Allen-Bradley ControlLogix PLCs and controlled by colour touchscreen HMIs the GC series is simple to operate and reliably efficient in any production environment. Load Cells provide instant feedback to the controls system, ensuring maximum accuracy in all aspects of the melting and supply processes.
Hot Melt Adhesive safety, and increased efficiency
The ITW Dynatec Dyanamet GC series is fitted with sophisticated back-up safety and alarm systems, almost entirely eradicating charring of adhesives and polymers. Combined with the patented melt-on-demand grid melting system the Dynamelt hot melt adhesive supply unit (ASU) starts all jobs swiftly and safely.
The adhesive melting grid configuration in the Dynamelt GC series saves money by melting the correct amount of adhesive needed for your application, rather than melting the entire tank of adhesive. This innovative system greatly reduces wasted adhesive; heating zones within the melter are so precise that (if required) portions of adhesive can be maintained at low temperatures while other zones are heated to the required melting temperature. This system gives the GC series a very short ‘warm up’ time, this is a bulk adhesive melting and supply system that can effortlessly react to a swiftly changing production environment.

The DY2008 is available in a range of configurations from 4-16 channels making it ideal for complicated gluing patterns such as those used on printing presses.
Both controllers are available with accessories and wiring to suit your particular application.
In addition to the DY2002 and DY2008 we are able to build custom controllers to your specification.
ADS1 – Bulk Adhesive Delivery Systems
The ITW Dynatec ADS1 adhesive delivery system automatically replenishes hot melt units. Adhesive is automatically maintained at the desired level in your hot melt equipment, triggered by a low level indicator that activates positive pressure suction from the source container.
ADS1 Adhesive Delivery System advantages:
- Virtually eliminates system contamination
- Automates filling of your hot melt unit
- Eradicates nozzle plugging
- Removes the need for an operator to be present in the hot melt supply unit area
- Reliable on-demand greatly reduces the risk of ‘thermal shock’ in the hot melt system
Hot melt adhesive supply units (ASUs) traditionally require frequent re-filling. If an operator fails to keep the hot melt unit adequately filled then the supply will likely be disrupted. The end result is production downtime while your employees wait for the adhesive hopper to return to setpoint.
Installation of a HF Hopper feeder system reduces all of the above problems. The result is lower repair costs and higher production rates.
The ADS1 DynaFill™ utilizes an air venturi-activated suction to pick up the solid hot melt adhesive from a bulk container and convey it by air pressure to the hopper.
ADS1 – Bulk Adhesive Delivery Systems Features
- Easily integrated into most standard ITW Dynatec and competitive hot melt units.
- Minimises adhesive contamination for increased uptime.
- On-Demand adhesive replenishment saves operator time and prevents thermal shock to the adhesive.
- Automatically feeds hot melt units up to 20 feet vertically and 100 feet horizontally
