Comparison of liquid level control in hot melt adhesive particle pool: float ball type vs photoelectric type vs weighing type actual measurement

2026-08-31    Views: 9    Chinese

Why is it important to control the liquid level of the melt glue pool?

The liquid level of the adhesive pool on the book binding line and sealing line directly affects the stability of the adhesive: low liquid level → intermittent adhesive release, uneven adhesive layer; Excessive liquid level → overflow of glue, accelerated aging of glue solution. The three mainstream liquid level control methods each have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Selection suggestions

Small graphic and text store (2L glue pot) → Floating ball type is sufficient, cheap and simple. Medium sized adhesive assembly line (5-10L) → The photoelectric type has the highest cost-effectiveness and meets the precision requirements. Large continuous production line → Weighing is the most stable, maintenance free, and has the highest accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What if the float gets stuck?

A: After stopping the machine, remove the floating ball to clean the carbides and check the flexibility of the shaft. It is recommended to check every 2 weeks, as more frequent checks are needed for particles with high carbide content.

Q: Is the photoelectric type accurate in high-temperature steam environment?

A: Steam above the glue pool will interfere with the photoelectric signal. It is recommended to install a blowing dust removal and anti fog device at the detection window, or choose a weighing scheme.
