The reactor is the heart of a hot melt glue production line. It controls the temperature, pressure and mixing speed of the raw materials: base polymer, tackifying resin, wax, softener, antioxidant and filler are added in specific proportions, heated to a

JCT Machinery supplies jacketed reactors in 500 L, 1000 L, 5000 L and 10 T capacities. Every unit uses a mechanical agitator and a pressure relief valve, with an operating temperature up to 200 °C and an operating pressure up to 1.6 MPa. The 500 L uni

Yes. For high-viscosity and highly filled hot melt glue formulas, a sigma mixer or kneading machine can replace or work alongside the reactor. A sigma mixer handles very high viscosity melts and heavy filler loading better than a standard agitated vessel,

A complete granular EVA hot melt glue production line typically includes ten units: a reactor or sigma mixer, a storage and mixing tank, a filtration system, a screw extruder and the die head, a cooling water channel, a dehydrator, an underwater granulato

Tails — a non-smooth granule shape with a drawing or tailing effect — come from unstable cutting temperature and inaccurate temperature or viscosity control, so the strand is cut before it has properly solidified. Four things prevent it: a hig

Quality control on a hot melt glue production line focuses on four variables. Temperature is controlled at every stage — reactor melting, transfer, extrusion and cooling — because viscosity and open time both depend on it. Pressure and vacuum

Yes. JCT Machinery builds hot melt glue production lines to order for a specific formula, output and product form. Customisation covers equipment selection, design and layout planning, production process optimisation, installation and commissioning, and o

Capacity is determined by the bottleneck in the line, not by the largest unit. In most hot melt glue production lines the reactor batch size and batch time set the melting throughput, while the extruder and cooling section set the shaping throughput &mdas
