Introduction
UES glue application units fulfil your utmost requirements with respect to quality, working- and production
safety as well as to being maintenance- and user friendly.
Through the combination of the most modern drive- and control technology with comfortable and complete
instrumentation you will be guaranteed the highest possible usage. The extreme compact construction and
the possibility of a modular extension enable a variety of services when working with versatile applications.
The UES glue application unit „PressMelt“ is equipped with carefully chosen components of the highest
quality. Taking the manual into account a long and non-restrictive use of the unit is possible.
Besides a complete program for standard applications of gluing technology with tank units, hose- and gun
systems we offer individual problem solutions and system components for special use in various parts of
industry.
When operating hot melt glue application units the adhesive is processed at high temperatures and high
material pressure. There for safety precautions are to be taken during/before installation, use and mainte-
nance.
The above-mentioned safety precautions (safety symbols) are shown in the description of the system
handling (manual) and there also described more accurately. They solely refer to the handling of the glue
application system.
Before installing the appliance, the operator’s manual is to be read and fully understood, so insuring safe
installation and guaranteeing problem-free operation.
The system owner and respectively the system user are responsible for the abidance to the safety precau-
tions.
Operation manuals and handbooks of the UES AG are protected by copyright. Any copying, duplication
(also extracts), translations etc. are not allowed without prior consent of the UES AG. Further copies of this
operation manual and other handbooks can be supplied directly from the factory upon request.
Whereby the manufacturer does not guarantee the accuracy of the contents of this manual.
The manufacturer also reserves the right to make changes to this manual/handbook at any time.

Qualified personnel can only carry out installation and maintenance work,
meaning only the personnel that has been trained on such appliances and who has the required experi-
ence and qualification with these or similar appliances and who is experienced in the safety and accident
prevention procedures and thus can recognise these immediately.
Any work, repairs or maintenance made on the gluing pattern system is only to be carried out when the
appliance has been disconnected from the main power supply and the compressed air has been cut off
(depressurise the system).
The appliance may not be operated without the relevant casing and safety protection. Beware of exposed
moving and rotating appliance parts such as motor and pump movement and also rising/sinking parts.
Attention! Do not use this appliance for anything other than that, for which it was manufactured!
Many exposed parts of this unit, such as the hot glue hose and order valve operate at a very high tempera-
ture, which can result, when coming into contact with hot and pressurised glue, in severe burns to the skin.
Therefore when operating this unit, filling the melting tanks, installation and construction of a hose and
order valves, protective clothing (safety gloves and glasses as well as clothing and shoes) are to be worn
at all time. Several glues produce poisonous gases, which have to be filtered.
Under no circumstances is the glue application unit to be operated under the following conditions:
- Near escaping substance or exploding gases or materials
- Without the appropriate safety appliances
- Temperatures lower than 5° C and more than 45°
Safety precautions regarding the glue
The utmost care is required when working with hotmelt glues! Material of this kind has a high and quick
bonding quality, so that it can even still be very hot when it is hardened and can lead to burns when coming
into to contact with exposed skin.
The safety procedures of the glue manufactures are to be followed. They can be found in the relevant in-
formation sheet of the respective glue.
Always abide to the operational gluing temperatures suggested by the manufactures!
During work with hotmelt glues wear protective gloves, glasses and long sleeved clothes to reduce the risk
of burns. In the event of an accident happening with hot glue, do not try and remove the glue from the skin
but run the burnt area under cold water until the glue has cooled off and then contact a doctor immediately.
Safety precautions relating to the production machine
The recommended safety procedures when dealing with production- and or packing machines are to be
taken from the manual delivered with these machines.
When installing, operating and maintaining the unit the safety measures referring to the main machine which
the unit is built into must be taken into consideration.
Attention: Before installation- and adjustment work is carried out,
the appliance must be disconnected from the mains!
Safety instructions
The following safety instructions must be adhered to!

Installation
Checking of the components
After unpacking all the components the PressMelt as well as the hotmelt hoses and guns should be che-
cked to see any damage during transit has occurred.
In the case of damage please contact the UES AG immediately.

Assembling and applying the tank unit
Warning!
The tank system must be connected to the production appliance using screws by
which the risk of injury in the event of the tank system falling off is reduced.
The application unit should be positioned in such a way that an ergonomic operation is assured. Especially
when using the operation panel, filling the tank or during maintenance work to change a filter ergonomics
are of great relevance.
Range of application and function
PUR adhesives are used for applications with high demands on the stability and durability of adhesion.
Fields of application include furniture making, lamination of worktops, the automotive sector etc. As PUR
adhesives quickly react with humidity and harden, the melter must be easy to refill and operate.
PressMelt processes moisture-cure reactive (PUR) hot melt adhesives in foil encased slugs up to 150 mm
in maximum diameter.
It is not possible to use PUR granules or PUR slugs that are not sealed in a moisture-tight aluminium com-
pound foil as well as thermosetting material and solvent-based adhesives.
Function:
If the fill level in the glue tank is too low, PressMelt is heated to the programmed operating temperature.
The pneumatic cylinder presses the PUR block onto the melting plate until the glue tank is filled again.

Electrical connection
Warning!
Works are only allowed to be conducted by qualified personnel.
The power supply must be disconnected.
Necessities: 400-V- (3L/N/PE/50 Hz) socket/connection.
The safeguarding per phase is not allowed to be more than max. 16 A!
As an option the system can be provided with a supply cable.
Hose connection
Connect the hotmelt hose to the manifold (11) using a SW 19 open-end wrench.
Air connection
The pressured air supply is controlled by the soft-
ware of the PressMelt.
Connect the pressured air hose to the rapid
coupling. Pressured air supply for levelling the
pneumatic cylinder: Input.
Pressured air supply for opening and closing the
module: Output.
To drain off residual pressure, the closing of the
modul can be retarded by use of the system pa-
ra meter Z VAG F.
Switch pneumatic cylinder (4) on: cylinder goes
down. Do not switch on when the cylinder is
folded open!
Filling the tank
Never compound different glues!
Please mind the manufacturers safety instructions!
Never exceed the specified temperatures to melt the glue!
Raise the pneumatic cylinder. Once the green
signal lamp is on the cylinder may be fold open.
Remove glue overlefts from the tank.
Slit the bottom of the PUR pack circular.
Insert the PUR pack into the tank with the
opening facing downwards.
Close the tank lid.
Switch on the pneumatic cylinder (4).
The cylinder presses the PUR block down.
The unit was tested before delivery.
Please check if glue overlefts remain in the tank and remove these before commissioning.
